    As a 1.0 player, I don't miss the physics (as nice as they looked). I felt they hindered game play... especially during fights.

    Don't forget the part where it caused a lot of player's computer to "blow up" to the point a lot of people could not play because their computer could not handle that level of graphics even at the lowest quality setting

    The physics wasn't the problem. The issues were terrible coding/poor infrastructure/terrible MMORPG design where everything was server based (yes, even opening your menus). Apparently this was due to the fact they outsourced the coding with little time to make changes before release. The performance issues were due to poor optimisation and the fact that everything had far too many polygons. The renderer wasn't great and there was just too much. The physics were only an issue when it came down to the way movement was implemented (i.e there was a noticeable segment between standing still and moving). This can easily be avoided while still improving the quality of animations.

    It wasn't the physics that hindered game play..it was the server check lag. How the crystal engine had this thing where..you could not do an action until the previous one was checked and approved by the server.

    But umm...that aside, yeah I would love more character options. I hope we can make half races or something..I want to be an elf, but the elves in this game are so awkward..I'd like to make one like Hilda.
