I'm not saying it's not there but you complain about no new zones being
added but you have so many more zones then we do. Verant messed up big time
and thought it would take skill and a long time to get to 50 all it takes is
time and that's where they messed up. they figured they could add zones over
time. I agree that overcrowding is felt at lower levels during prime time
but at high levels it's 24/7 because well we play a lot heh. Ahh well I just
think they need to add some more zones before we get to even half of what
you guys feel.
