Worried about NW....

I have been hyping NW to alot of people old vets who quit and total newbs....but I am concerned. This recent lagging/skipping/FPS/sync problem is gonna scare alot of people away at the EXACT wrong time.

FC - look into this immediately. It is important that a newbies first experience be clean, easy to jump into and appearing to be stable and lag free. Otherwise, pal, they are out. Happened with me and the first time I booted into AO. I played for 2 days, then took some time off.

Came back, became addicted, and stayed on, but I think I am the exception. NW could and should be HUGE for FC and Rubi-Ka, but unless these issues are addressed in any kind of meaningful way, (even workarounds - i.e. telling noobs about reducing ground quality and view distance would help) the player base will not continue to grow as it needs to.

Thanks for the time.
