atomic tofu is on a distinguished road

Default Re: Dial up Gaming, One Big -.-

dialup is perfectly fine for most online gaming, strange ppl think otherwise
of course...I would say this is about it for 56k...after this year noone seems to want to optimize their code so you'll have massive amounts of data back and forth for no reason

mmo's are ok with 56k...shooters not so much. But it wasn't bad during the days of quake even up to II I believe.

mmos I played with dialup

asheron's call
lineage II
almost all the gpotato ones
silkroad
city of heroes
9 dragons
2 moons
corum

of course the occasional spikes typically mean the death of many a 56k gamer

I couldn't really play the new game Tabula Rasa...that was lag heaven
