For US$20 Funcom is releasing a new patch that will autocrash your computer every three minutes. This new feature will cause less congestion in Tir, which will solve the lag problems (at least for 3 minute intervals until you crash).
Plus, Funcom has decided to scramble all of the initiatives in all of the weapons so that no one really knows what skills their weapons are dependant on. Nukes are now self only. And, all guards will agro everyone regardless of side.
