Planetside 2 has not had the best of launches. New players logged on to new servers in a new game to be greeted with crashes and glitches and lags and queues that made that game nigh-unplayable. It wasn’t pretty – or acceptable, even if the game is free to play – but I’ve seen this sort of thing before with many an MMO launch and knew it would be unfair to judge Planetside based on its disastrous first few days of life. So I left it for a week, then dove back in with a character made on one of the less rammed European servers (Lithcorp) to see if things had improved at all.
