Yeah the other day was pretty exciting! I mean it was like, I logged in and heard about what was going down and ZOOM! Rushed to get in on the action, but hit a wall of lag that just wouldn't budge! It was still cool hearing from those who had gotten in. For our front-line reporters I salute you, but speaking of front line reporting...

Was it really okay for ISD to report on what was going on real-time like that? I mean, it just seems kind of wrong to give out tactical information to all of EVE. Regardless of tactical value, it leads to more people rushing in to watch the fight, like people coming out to have picnics and watch battles during the United States Civil War. Wouldn't all those incoming spectators only increase the lag? And the lag was so bad it ended up ruining the fight for everyone.

I can't imagine anyone actually taking pure pleasure in victory through lag. What a sad thought :( I know that I personally want nothing more from combat than smooth performance. And those alliances who currently oppose us have said many times that they desire straight up epic fire fights. Lag undercuts that tremendously doesn't it?

Win or lose, if it looks great it was worth it to me. I couldn't even get near the fun to win or lose anything though! Unfortunately the lag is just so darn bad now you can hardly seem to do anything when you get a couple dozen ships together much less hundreds!

And again to the OP, don't you personally find it interesting we are in the process of testing your hypothesis right at this very moment?
