Half hour? ouch...
I know you're exaggerating a little (hopefully), but long load times plague low-RAM systems. My load times, on that 192 meg system, are like 2 or 3 seconds
I know 192 is slightly above the average, but I stole a meg or 32 here & there from the other comps on my little network -- Linux demands far less of a machine, and does far more... except games -- so that one Windows comp is flying; I've made it my "gaming machine", if you will, for Mandrake does /everything/ else so much better.
It would be nice, for all the low-RAM users (and me, for that matter) if the loaded worlds were a bit smaller, i.e. rather than loading the entire above ground area from Brimloch to Cet's pyramid, they could halve it, do Brimloch to Temple of Isis and Isis to Cet. This would also be REAL nice for teleporting, if you could still have one portal for each loaded area -=+evil grin+=-
That, by the way, is why one can only teleport within an "area": because that's all that's loaded into the RAM.
Another wish: multiple portals within an area, which you can cycle through with Teleport... or would that make the game too easy?
