With a new graphic card installed, I am now able to log in and play. Thanks again for the replies all.

Also, I can't get the capture mechanic to work. I created a company, I'm a member, and I'm in a tower courtyard, but the counter isn't showing as per the blog.

Same here - created a company, standing next to tower and nothing. I also don't see any companies in the "search companies" window, not even mine.

I logged on last night with my son's computer, much newer, and had a much better experience. So it's definitely the computer. The PC I originally tried with has 6 GB and a quad core processor all at 2.93. It's 64 bit Windows 7. I pulled out an ATI Radeon 4200 graphics card today that came with it and replaced it with a GeForce 9600 card that I had. I'll test it tonight. Thanks for the responses. I'll report back later.

Lam,
Where would I find video quality (command line switch)? You'll have to explain it to me like I'm 10 though. When I say I pulled out the graphics card and repolaced it, what I mean is I watched someone do it for me. I'm not very computer savvy.

I think I have a better graphics card lying around that I pulled out of my previous PC when the motherboard died. Maybe that will help.

It's either 6 or 8. I'm not at that PC right now, but I know it's not 4. I have a lot of available memory. I'll try to remove some games tonight that I don't play, but I don't think that's the issue. I play DDO and run that on a pretty high graphics setting with no issues.

I have logged in the past two nights and experienced lag so bad that the game was unplayable. I updated my drivers as the invite e-mail suggested. I don't have a problem playing any other games and I didn't have anything running in the background. Obviously it's on my side though, since many people are in the game and playing. What can I do to improve performance? There is like a 2 second delay for my character to react to commands. Please help. Thanks.

I played DDO before and after the F2P change. F2P definitely increased the population by a lot and probably kept the game alive, but the quality of the population is not even close to what it once was. I like the $10/month plan with free expansions. A free 7 to 10 day trial would be nice too.

I've tried several MMO's and never got past day 1 because of the combat. The only one that has held my interest is DDO and a lot of that has to do with their combat. I would like to see something similar to their's.
