I don't care where it is hosted as long as they have multiple big pipes to keep the network reliable with low latency.

Windows 3.1

My machine is my money maker IRL, so I bought a Dell T7400 workstation from the outlet a couple of years ago.

I have a real problem with FPS. I run at 1920 X 1200 which is native mode for my monitor. If i crank everything down, I can get 10 fps. If I turn on shadows, it drops to about 4 to 5 fps.

My network latency is about 150. (less than 20 to the NY transatlantic crossover pop)

Not to compare games, but it is the only other game I play, in Eve I run with everything (except HDR) to the max and I hit the FPS throttle.

The client does need some work, I don't really care for the 'gunge' look I get when it is cloudy; looks like there is a grey film on the camera lens not like it is dreary. When it is sunny, things are better. I have no issue with how things look at night.

I run it on a dual Xeon Quad cores, 12 GB of memory and Dual Nvidia Quadro FX 1700 box. It should be plenty big. It runs OK to crappy most days. Been playing online games for a long time, so I have played with all of the driver setting to see if I could improve performance.

My bad ... a Sequer would do.

I would like to see a robot hauler added to the game. So a player could load up and transport several robots, equipment and inventory. This would allow a person to change their base location and move their stuff there.
