Wow. I always assumed that profiling would be part of the pre-release test processes for AAA games...

Could it be that MMO players are just more accustomed to long load times? (Lack of loading patience is one of the reasons I don't play SWOTOR.)

When I used to play world of Warcraft, it never took more than 30 seconds or so to load. It got much faster over the years - when I was playing a few years ago it was more like 5 seconds from character selection to being in the world.

Nothing like the 6 minutes people are talking about for GTA. That’s ridiculous.
