The game is beyond AWESOME. Since quitting WoW and trying to find a new MMORPG, this game has the same/better epicness to classic WoW. The only prolem I have is the continuously lag spikes. I don't if it's cause I'm on the east coast (Maine) and the server I'm on could be located on the westcoast or Asia. I'm hoping it'll be fixed with live, cause I look forward to the PK server and watching my victims jump like a fish in a puddle of blood.

Is the NDA lifted? Or you getting yourself into trouble?

Maybe you didn't get far but the grind is treacherous and content completely stops at 40 and I mean content there is notta to do. Not only that I heard the item-mall is going to base the game where you'd have to use to get any where in the game. The team is piss pour and the customer service is worst. Good luck with that.

What does a non-disclosure agreement have to do with this?

The game has BGs though. I know that this version is behind the korean version. I read they're gonna be adding another race and more content in a few weeks after it goes live.

There was no binding NDA on Requiem.  I've been testing it since closed-beta and recall a CM stating that we were free to speak openly.  Honestly the way that the game is being rushed, if they had kept us on a short leash the game wouldn't be nearly as well known.

Game lag wasn't an issue in CB.  I'm guessing that the servers are being used for internal testing as well as open-beta which is resulting in periodic lag.

I doubt the lag is the result of internal testing.  The company in the US doesn't run out of the same office.  Development is in Northern California, and Hosting is in Southern California.  Even still, internal testing would be done on a closed network which means no bandwidth consumption.  I think the problem is with thier ISP Cogent Internet.  Cogent has always been a problamatic factor in many companies that use it as a host.

I did several traceRTs, and the congestion has always been going through the Cogent works.

Leading up to Cogent, from Maine, max hop lag is 32ms (8 hops).  At Cogent we then have a bumpy ride with lag averaging 200ms (max ~300ms) - your ride may very.  So yes, Cogent's network is an issue.  Being outside of gravity's network, I can neither deny nor confirm that Cogent is the root of all lag experienced by players.
