Listen very carefully. I was lagged. Now, I don't know how the Appalachian dictionary that you use defines it, but the way it works for me is, (now pay attention, here's the hard part.) I type something in, and it doesn't actually hit the mud until some later time. So, pretend I type impale. Nothing happens, nothing happens...nothing happens, then magically about 200 lines of text fly down my screen, and somewhere in there my 'impale' command went though. Are you with me? Can you visualize that? That's the nutty thing about lag, see, is that it's so slow! Lag wouldn't be nearly so bad if all my command went through instantaneously! (Reminds me of the Python sketch "I think the crime rate would go down significantly if we could just get rid of the criminals!" And as far as *mutter*, fine I can see all your points except q and the one about "polearms being the best, don't like it don't play warrior." I guess the Immortals then just wasted their and the player's times by creating all these other specs that are useless? I guess everytime I see a warrior other than polearm spec I can mock him all in the name of *mutter*.
