I seem to be lagging to the server quite a bit - I'm unable to play at all - I can get to the argument selection screen, but then the match timer flashes on and off once, then I get a black screen. Lag is several seconds, which I haven't had before.
Serious Review (with an open mind):
RuneScape, seems to be rather fun the first time you play it. Killing goblins, though repetitive, isn't the only thing person can do. You can go mine and smith to make some money. After that gets repetitive, you can work on your magic. Or start fishing. But, eventually, it gets boring. After, say, 100 round trips of making leather armor, crafting gets boring. After several hundred mining trips (and the mines are all the same, just different colors), it gets boring. Despite the appearance of 40-odd skills, the repetition within those skills makes the former novelty of RuneScape quickly fade.
Yes, the 75% board control doesn't really work. I find, however, that I sometimes automatically win when the enemey has no units left. Does it require the enemy's mind power to be zero AND to have 75% of the board or more. Because I could see a few problems with that...
