No, but maybe your next ISP will  :p

Just kidding. Actually I don\'t have much lag either but I think that netcode will probably be imroved in next releases (as everything else) and when there is more servers, there will probably be one closer to you, so you\'ll have less lag.

about \"system lag\", I\'d prefer you to say that the game is slow, or that it has low fps, because some people seem to be unable to make the difference, so let\'s keep this clear.
Anyway, it will certainly be improved too, as crystal space (PS 3D engine) is being improved. Besides, when the first final version comes out, the average PC will be much faster than what it is now.

well thom, it seems to depend on how many people are on and the weather conditions, if there\'s only a couple people on, and the weathers clear, it runs great for me, even facing the temple, but if there are too many people on, I can\'t stick around.  I\'ve only got like 10 rubies.

I don\'t play much, but I still like to give what input I can in.

I noticed that, too.

When there are a few people connected to the server I don\'t observe too much lag (only when the weather turns - starts/stops raining - but I think it\'s related to HD access on my machine).

I have a good (I consider) machine for playing PS: AMD Athlon XP 1700+ on a SOYO Dragon Plus Motherboard with 40GB HD and 256MB RAM DDR. I\'m thinking about buying more 256MB DDR to upgrade my machine, as since the dollar is lowering here in Brazil and memory prices are lowering together.

About crystals, up to now I got 43 rubies (or 42, not sure) and 3 emeralds. I\'m dreaming with my first diamond! :P

The next version will run more on your graphic-card and less on your RAM, or so I was told.
