Stress Testing Experience is ++++

I was incredibly impressed with the stability although I don't believe that there were anywhere near 100,000 people on the server yesterday or last night. (20-30 maybe?)

I didn't experience any significant lag. The responses in the heavily populated areas seemed to be high enough to handle the rush of newbies (Undead starting area). Once I got up to around lvl 7, it was easy enough to find more quiet locations.

My baby rogue is lvl 10, half way to 11.

The overall experience is fantastic. Basically, they had me at "hello". I will certainly buy this game and play it through for a while. Now, we just need to see the issues that are being discussed about leveling speed and higher level balance resolved and it will be a fantastic game.

p.s. The game is absolutely beautiful and damn fun to play at low levels.

Never got my damned email with the link to set up my account even though I had my account key already.

I am lvl 17 now. The leaders on the server are about 2 levels ahead at the moment. Pace has picked up since my crew moved to the Barrens. I am looking to make 20 tonight. It seems to take twice the time from 10-20 as from 1-10, so that scaled well enough.

There needs to be roughly double the number of quests in Tirisfal->Silverpine and they should cut the leveling rate by 25-50%.

Will give an update on Tuesday.

p.s. wife is soooo pissed at me

Stuck behind ports and can't even begin to think about participating. Lousy campus network
