Era iPhone

[12171217]

Wow.

So, yeah, I got the app, right? And yes, I love Era. I've always loved Era. But there's too many players. Too many players. It bogs down performance and it bogs down the gameplay. I leave the hospital or spawn and I die quickly. And when I don't die I'm terrified to go back, because my slow-moving body will be put up against these iPhone 3GS and 4G users. Make movement framerate independent and interpolate or extrapolate other players on the server if you truly are so anal about using up precious CPU time on the iPhone (Even though I must say it's retarded).

Or just instance the server into groups of ~50 players.. It's easy to do in GS2, nonetheless. Have channels. Tons of iPhone MMO's have channels, and nobody's given a **** before, so why don't you guys do it? Jesus Christ, I want to play this game so badly, but it's extremely difficult to. The cherry on top is the guy who said "This game is literally unplayable." And he wasn't me, so he wasn't biased.

EDIT: Hell, in GS2, it'd be easy to make areas of the game that aren't channeled. Say, an auction house. That should be channel-independent, and GS2 makes it easy. Or events. Both easy and perfect for everybody.

Nobody cared about performance so much in Graal Classic because there was nothing to do and no bullets rained upon you at every second. Era is the "serious gamer's" MMO, not nearly as casual, and should be treated as such.
