High CPU Usage
Nop .. thats normal. On a single-core processor it would mostly use 100% CPU.
As soon as you notice graphical lag you know in the end that the game would need
even more power to render everything in time.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.
Thanks Beldin. I have another question. Is this usage of CPU will make any damage in longterm?
Nope .. not as long as your CPU-Fan does its work and the CPU isn’t overheating, and
even then modern CPUs normally fall down to a lower speed.

As long as the CPU is properly cooled, there should be no long term damage. Note that overclocking the CPU without proper cooling could be an issue, but that would be evident by monitoring the core and other system temps (there are utilities designed to do that if you are concerned).
In my 20+ years of computer hardware experience, I have never heard of a properly cooled Intel processor “burning out” due to overuse. Overclocking is another story, but all CPUs (I think from the 80486) have internal core temp monitors that will shut down the CPU before any damage occurs. More modern CPUs have actual clock throttling to prevent it.

Thanks Brother Grimm and Beldin. Ok high Cpu usage is not dangerous if u cool it good. Whats the limit for CPU heat?
My cpu was running at 60+ mainly during heavy wvw play since 2012 with no problems. Luckily I was able to upgrade to a liquid cpu cooler last month.

The temperature limit for the CPU depends on the CPU model. You have to look into the data sheet from the CPU manufacturer. Intel Core CPUs have about 67-72 C as limit, as far as I remember, but AMD has a different limit.
For Intel, you can look up the data sheets here: http://ark.intel.com/
