Return of Reckoning

is it just me? despite lots of keep fighting there was NO lag at all tonight?

If the lag is gone or has at least improved, that's good news. I cut down on some allocations which were causing pressure on the GC. There are still more allocations than I'd like (the network packets, for example, as they recreate byte buffers every time), but if the game's become playable in the meantime, then great.

Would it be possible to collect money for a better RAM? Larger, shorter access times etc to give you guys some more space for content development.
Would GW/EA be pissed or could it be possible to have a money collection for that exact same amount?

the fact that you alredy figurate something for lag problem in so few times when war dev took 4 years is alredy a great news for me aza

They cannot and they will not receive any money, search donations, there have been MANY posts already.

I know, but there's always a work around which just has to be found. A lawyer could be helpful.

Like for example: Let's assume one guy has a company. He hires one of the devs and pays him money for freelancer "coding" projects (or whatever...). No high amounts so that he won't get in trouble with taxes. That company guy collects money from the community for small purposes via online donations.

This way the community could offer financial help yet nothing was spent on ROR directly. It's hella sneaky!

I'd say that it's worlds apart on much better it has become. Great work !

My thanks to you for pointing me in the right direction. Had you not, I wouldn't have understood that GC pressure was the problem.

really good to hear something was done and worked!
