Runes of Magic US / AU

I'm really hoping RoM will remove the new World Channel(Ch4), at least on smaller servers. The fourth channel didn't relieve the server lag in Leorden in the least on Palanque. In fact, since adding the new channel, server ping has been horribly erratic in all zones and on all maps. I don't believe channel crowding was the real problem to begin with. Like Dalanis Central, I can be the only player in the area and the frame rate grinds down to a crawl. I think the true problem with areas like Leorden is more to do with landscape design that the game engine can't properly handle, as-well-as the number of superfluous NPC's. We get that the game engine is tired. We can deal with it. Just don't try to unnecessarily tax the engine with complex landscapes. And don't even get me started on the over-blown spell casting effects in siege war and boss fights. Give us smooth game play and dumb down the flash.
