So I take it no one knows what kind of hardware upgrade FC are making atm and what effects we can expect from that?
This is a bit semantics but I would say the "stopping" problem is the graphics engine and not the system I got. Sure it can get better if I buy a new computer but if the graphics engine wasn't 90% poo then this game should have been running smoothly many years ago.
If AO still don't run smoothly on a system that was state of the art 4 years after AO was released then I wouldn't say the problem is my system but the graphics engine.
I have 3.2 ghz, 2gig ram, Geforce 6800GT 256 MB and blablablabla.
If you can run any modern mmorpg with no "stops" like these but you cant run AO that is over 6 years old on the same system.. then AO is the problem, not my system. I understand fully that a server upgrade wont solve that problem but I do want to know more about this upgrade. It must be improving some kind of performance or they wouldn't do it. Im guessing the uninformed answer would be "lag" but I need to know what hardware we are talking about here. Is it parts of the servers, is it the entire servers, is it the network components. If this helps lag then what kind of lag are we talking? Doorlag? Zoning? Rubberbanding?
I just find it strange that there is a hardware upgrade and no one knows wtf it is
Yet everyone goes "yeeey hardware upgrade!"
I know that any kind of upgrade can only be positive but I want to know exactly what it is
