    "Server Slam". Is that some kind of WWE 'rassling move?

    I remember the WoW launch. I remember 'loot lag' very clearly. When
    your character would bend over to pick up loot, he would get stuck
    there.

    That's database lag and they never really fixed that. At least not when
    I tried it a few years ago. It's not anywhere near as bad as it was at
    launch, but even over 10 years later there was a noticible bit of lag
    when looting that you don't see in any other MMORPG.

    I remember the loot lag definitely. From my hazy and brain cell burned
    drunken memory you would stick like that for 30 seconds or so before disconnecting from the server. Connecting back you'd have run off a
    cliff and the loot you thought you received was gone.

    Referring back to D4's release: at least they did something a little comical with it, literally marketing the release as "D4 Server Slam" as if it absolves them of all the strafe they're going to get : )

    Who's slamming D4 servers? ;) Not me due to lack of time again. :( I'll wait for the final
    version if I ever get it. I have to play other games!
