terryclothI played a bit more World of Warcraft since the last time I talked about it. And I was wrong -- it isn't better with lag than City of Heroes. Well, a little better -- it lets you walk around while lagged, and doesn't warp you back to where you were before. But if you lag out for 30 seconds during a fight, you die, and it often takes a loooong time to get back to your corpse. And sometimes you get killed again instantly (since you don't rez at full health, let alone with your void stalker summoned), and have to do the run several times.
I got in a couple groups. It was sort of pointless. The first group, the guy just went off and solo'd separately but told me when he'd killed one of the unique mobs we were hunting so that I could loot it too. The other was with a human warrior I made (to try out a completely different character), where I was in a group with a mage and a rogue, and couldn't get aggro for love or money. Warriors need to beat on the enemy for a while to build up rage before they can use their taunt, and by that time (in a group with a mage and a rogue) the enemy's already dead. Or the mage is dead. One or the other.
Then, I took the warrior to the human capital to get the next set of quests, and after wandering through the city for a while wondering why it was completely deserted, I was kicked from the server. So I logged back in, and was kicked from the server. So I went to get comics for the day, came back after a couple hours, and was kicked from the server as I logged in. I can log into my warlock and play her just fine, but the warrior is apparently forever doomed because she made the mistake of going into the human capital city, which is apparently a big dead zone.
Probably just for me, I can't imagine they'd still have a bug like that after all these years if it happened to everybody.
