It's a great game (no doubt about it- spent a couple of years on it etc etc), but some of the bugs it has are terrible!

Each expansion they've "bolted" an extra set of game zones with a new and updated graphics engine on- so if you go from one of the original game zones into one of the expansion zones your machine slows down etc.

Their latest expansion they raised the minimum specs to somthing like PII 400, 256MB Ram (plus of course you need nearly 2GB HD space to contain the entire game), directx 8.0, Windows 98 or higher (so it no longer supports win95 machines), oh yeah and a 16mb (I think it was) graphics card.

This left a lot of players out in the cold (me having to fork out for another 128mb of ram over christmas to play *one* game was not a very fulfilling experience).

They rushed the latest expansions' release so that nothing worked (for instance, I had little black boxes around everything when I first came to play it), zone time for me with just 128mb ram was like 10 mins, they had somthing like a 1.2mb patch to download nearly every 2 days for just under a month after it's release.... and the list goes on ^_^

Great game though, split many a RL marriage up so it has =)

sorry about that [\rant] =)
