Yepp This gamehas become the joke of the gaming world, One update counters anouther, The Devs are going in three different directions. One Group is makeing PVP events that the game engine cannot handle(real lag when 10 or more players are in one area) . The second group is working on bugs (some of wich have been in game since launch, these coders are out of the development loop) and do not effectively accoplish any thing. The last set are working on new game mechanics when the impement any thing group 2 needs to start over again. The game engine is still from the original game(wich is not a First Person Shooter). The only way to save this mess is to implement classic servers with publish 9 being the bases for it.
If they had just fixxed the original system this game would be out selling any other MMO out there, But SOE and Lucas went for the easy way out and tried to copy WOW, and did a poor job at it at that.
Had fun when the game was good , but its over now
