    "could handle", for a value that includes a vaguely functional AH, BCNM stuttering, the occasional zone-to-black disconnect, and Promathia-help-your-soul lag if you had to go near a social hub. I know I could tell when the number trended above 3,000.

    Actually, that sounds a lot like what we're seeing in XIV...

    Oh gawd how I remember the hell of my first Beseiged event. Was all excited over it, joined some random party invite, spent some lead-up time perving on the tank's studly Elvaan profile, then cursed him/her out for doing ABSOLUTELY STUFF ALL when the fight started. He/she just stood there looking pretty for roughly 5+ minutes. Then all of a sudden he/she disappears & reappears about two blocks over and then I realised - it wasn't that he/she was doing jack shit - it was LAG!!

    Damn but Beseiged was maniacal.
