Jaez,
I know. I have chars on other servers that are "old enough" to hunt in BB but
with everyone else in there and all the magic casting ... I end up lagging
sooooooooooooo much. My screen will even freeze at times and I have no clue
what is happening (like if I'm dead). I finally gave up hunting there and
moved on to the Karanas. I'm not making any cash at all, but at least I can
actually play the game.
I've got a new 'puter being built, should get it in the next week. And we're
waiting for the cable company to call & set a date for cable modem
installation. So I expect the lag problem should improve dramatically for me.
Meanwhile, I hunt the less crowded areas.
Safe travels,
Wynsong
