This link is from the real forums for paying players, I'm a trial player so I can only post here. I was going to purchase the game but with the servers in one location (Boston) the pipeline must be huge to handle all the updates of info to and from players in the real world. Players on the west coast of North America and players in Europe, the ping difference would cause such a delay or lag in game. I have tryed 1 instance and had to leave because of warping and lag. It is not my computer or my connection speed because I checked that first. I have read on the real forums of other players paying for this lag... but can not respond. I really like this game but... free to play coming, world economy the way it is. Why are they changing the game, how long will this company last (Turbine) ? Turbine will not disclose the player base numbers? Oh well... it was fun for just under 10 days... Have fun... some where else I guess. CC
