Hear me out on this one!

While B&S loaded up the client post-launcher, I used to be able to get up, go to the bathroom (as a girl, by the way), and maybe grab a drink. And then if the client loaded before I got the drink, I'd casually try to load my server, go back away from my desk get a drink and snack. And even then, sometimes, I'd time out and the client would close.

While some of the usual lag issues aren't fixed, I have to say -- as a laptop user (gasp!) who has bad loading times on everything, I'm seeing a significant improvement in loading times since the update. The game doesn't time out on me anymore. I don't freeze as soon as I attempt combat. And Windows doesn't yell at me for an unresponsive application anymore. (Erm, as much.)

As someone who could barely keep the client from timing out between regions/sections before, I'm pretty happy. They must have done something. Server-side? Client-side? Not sure. (If anyone knows, though, feel free to let me know.)

Anyway, I'm still bitter, as a 30-day Premium Member, at all their price-gouging and terrible inventory space (I keep throwing away Soul Shields in the field) and whatnot. But, like, at least I have this to celebrate, I guess.

EDITED: words and stuff, some minor things
