Hello,
I saw in Unreal Powered page a game called Lineage 2. But Lineage 2 isn't a MMORPG? How they created it with no load times?
I can create a MMOG with the runtime?

No, read the EULA. No games are allowed to be distributed.

It is a MMORPG, but it works a little differently to others. They have access to native code, while we are restricted to Unrealscript (at the moment). Because they can modify the engine directly to their needs they can do things such as precaching data as they user is playing or precaching predictions (we can precache all the data but that results in very long start up times).

Thanks.
Mhh, is it possible to do a "Postal 2" like load time with only the RunTime?

Then you got another Version than I did.
I haven't checked it in the Editor, but it looked pretty much like many small maps. If it truly is one big map, the caching and the transissions are done badly.
