Re: Dial-Up

Patches suck. Gold version the download isn't that long, my sister acutally bought that. I bought this game early last year but just started playing this year since I got a pc that can actually run it. It took around 30hrs online to get it fully installed, my sis had dsl and it was like 2hrs for install. I tried to get a high speed lan connection through a friend but go figure it would not work. Brand new out the box and the ethernet wouldn't connect. Alot of party activity and it may lag, the bad thing is if you pull a monster when solo and the connection lags, the monster may disappear and be out of your view actually hitting you and when the connection catches up you have to turn, not too bad really but I did get killed by a forest hare at a lower level that way, by the time my connection caught up I was down to half hp and couldn't knock down the hare in enough time, so just be careful. Sometimes other characters will warp or ghost on you. If you are following a party member running and it lags, they maybe out of sight and you'll have to call for position.

Weird thing is when you go through a doorway where it downloads that new scene information I usally appear for about 5-6 seconds before highspeed users...weird. Oh yeah I turn evironmental animation off and everything else is compressed and at minimum.
