We're not planning on getting real elaborate with the placeholder car thingy, it's just a quick fix to eliminate the joining lag.

Making this optional from the client end would be good too of course, especially for 56k-ers. What is/will be the min/max skin filesize? |

Why do people insist on asking useless and > pestering questions? Its like bringing a 5 year old to work with you. Seems like a constructive suggestion rather than a question. Which is exactly the point of releasing an early test version isn't it? |
