Storage is cheap but networks not so much.<br /><br />One would think that the map history could be stored on the client where that wouldn't be an issue. I sure do miss having maps filled in (per toon) permanently like LotRO. My memory is horrible and I need all the help I can get.jomar1955https://www.blogger.com/profile/14735265172924084148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-2085341849471828972010-07-09T12:07:49.693-07:002010-07-09T12:07:49.693-07:00As cheesy as it would be to start charging us for ...As cheesy as it would be to start charging us for something we used to get free, that may in fact be what they intend to do.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-59625160392304106472010-07-09T11:33:21.069-07:002010-07-09T11:33:21.069-07:00Huh.

Based on my experience with offline RPGs, the total data volume represented by an extra bank slot or a four map buffer is absolutely miniscule. Offline RPGs often have a size infinite map buffer and unlimited storage, and the save files are still tiny.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711156850879162685.post-81800685595277128112010-07-09T05:10:43.401-07:002010-07-09T05:10:43.401-07:00I had forgotten about how that worked.

I remember that happening in some large open zone that took too long to complete in one session; then having to start from scratch when I next zoned in. That's really annoying.<br /><br />Turbine has always been stingy with data storage and it's part of those little things that annoy me when I play their games (tiny backpacks in LotRO.Aspendawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01295434130203411301noreply@blogger.com
