Ok so I have above WAY above the minimal amount of what it takes to play the game. Hell I play on half graphs even during TW.
BUT WTF when I access the main site so much freakin flash objects load. How do you guys expect to get costumers if it takes them 5 minutes to load the front page with any internet connection?
Seriously I have top line comp with high speed internet 10mb/sec I told my friend to try this game and he said it took 2 minutes to navigate your **** pile you call a website.
FIX IT. WAY OVER BOARD with grpahics and flash media TONE IT DOWN.
I used to do drugs, I still do but I used to too.

    Yes! I don't watch the front site anymore ... partly because of that. It does not take me two minutes to load it but it is still quite annoying.

    It takes me less than 10 seconds to load the front page. LESS than TEN seconds. Your system and connection ain't all that great if you have trouble loading it as you say. WAY below a "top line comp". Heres my stats for my comp and I have a slower connection than you say you have.. so if your system is above what I have... you got some system issues going on...

    Windows XP Professional
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs), 2.6GHz
    3070MB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT 512.0 MB

    ~S

    p.s. I can run the game easily on full graphics even in Archosuar w/o much if any lag at all.

    *edit* Just used a stop watch to time the load of the front page... a hair over 7 seconds and I have a series of un-throttled downloads going on Vuze atm as well.

    Agreed, and i have half the system you do... ( POS Dell with an extra Gig ram), crammed with 3d art and a full drive :P

    I would wager the system they have if even close to what I have (and mines 'average') is having degridation issues due to running more processes than it needs or they have a very serious addware/spyware/virus/trojan problem with their PC.

    Windoze loads a lot of un-needed processes when you first get it. If you know what your doing, you turn a number of them off and on lower end systems.... This can improve performance by quite a bit. Even on mid-range systems it improves performance somewhat. If you want to know which services to turn off, I recommend you go to The Elder Geek and review what they say.

    BE VERY CAREFUL. If you don't know what your doing.. don't do anything. PERIOD! because you could scrap your system if you **** up.

    Now Then....

    Hope that link is useful. Remember that not all of the services you will see running, are windows services. Don't terminate anything until you KNOW what it is for. You really can **** your system up.

    I have a good PC, new last year. The site takes ages to load and I almost ALWAYS have to refresh to get the bar to show where it says "Community" etc.

    Well, grats on 7 seconds Saitada, it takes me 17 seconds, just checked. I suggest you stop wagering about my system specs b:shutup Perhaps my reply was not precise enough for you to understand....
    I agreed with the OP that the amount of flash/gfx whatever on the front side is simply annoying. And quite useless, too. Even if your system is so great that it only takes you seven to load, for others that may not be the case. If the minimum requirements for the game are so low, that should maybe be taken into consideration for the main site as well, should it not?

    P.S.: I run the game at full graphics all the time, even in West Archo.

    If you look carefully, the person I quoted was not you but rather the OP. And I commented after another person who commented... Suiel... and was in fact referring to her statement and referencing the OP in it as well.

    My system isn't all that great, maybe average or very slightly above. I think it also depends on what operating system a person has. Mine is XP pro, and I've tweaked it pretty heavy. Vista users will find that their system, even if identical to mine, will run slower because Vista is a resource hog.

    I would have to agree with your last statement though.
