Well it's goodbye AO for me. I guess I'm a victim of AO's renewed success. Ever since the free month for old accounts the server load has gotten a lot higher, but the server resources are unchanged. For me, obviously not for everyone, it takes 1 to 2 minutes to open a bag in my inventory in wilderness zones. Lag death is far to common for me. Last night I was in a team fighting borgs in Avalon and had to run from the seen, I made it almost back to Camelot, but I was actually already dead my AO client just didn't know it.
Well it's been fun and I might be back in the future, but who knows.
