Back to the topic at hand. I really think the KR client has tons of potential and is definitely not as buggy as some make it out to be. There are bugs but the client is very playable in its current state and with a couple more patches should be good to go. I don't think it was ready to come out of beta but really it's not too far off, especially considering the amount of bugs and artwork they took care of in what, the last week and a half?

The biggest problem that I have is performance when there's a number of people on screen. When I'm running around the Luna bank and doing some shopping it becomes quite choppy and I have a pretty high-performance gaming rig (C2D at 3GHz, 2Gb high performance ram, 8800GTS). I don't know how they expect the average UO player to be able to operate in those situations with that client. Now it's really only in that area that I get any graphics lag but that's an area that you really can't avoid.

Keep in mind that I'm looking at this from the viewpoint of someone recently coming back to the game after a long hiatus. I played from release until about a year after the trammel/felucca split and just came back full-time recently and jumped right into the KR client.
