    I'd like to note the load times. They are super fast considering I expected more common mmo loads like gw2 or ffxi

    They did mention before on an interview that the game starts pre-loading the next zone when you start approaching the zoneline, so that when you hit it it already has a portion of it on memory and it thus reduces loading time. (which means that hanging by the zoneline is a BAD IDEA because it doubles your memory usage)

    So it's basically what XI does. The client will start loading the zone before you actually zone then it will load the serverside things in tandem. XI had pretty fast load times, especially on the PC if you had a good processor (given the PS2 Port nature of it.)

    My problem about camera control for now is that the char rotates with the camera, even if he stand still. During running or walking, ok. But not during standing. It is as if the world rotate under him.
