I play on Atlantic and I've had no problems with it.

I tested that out... Had never heard of how to find out the connection speed.. even though I have two computer techies in the family, and one runs a private shard... They like to keep their secrets... Anyway.. I have low end DSL and my 'ping' to LS was 52 night before last. That is good, right?

Hey Snowy,

Id say that anything under 80ms of latency should feel pretty lag-free and is good for DSL. My cable conn gave me a 30-ish ping which is about as low as it goes for most folk...every once in a great while youll hear about pings in the high teens, but that is VERY uncommon and posibly a bunch of malarky.

There is a program called Visual Trace (or something like that) that will actually show you geographical locations of hops, who owns/operates the hop, and all kinds of info youd never want to know

Thanks, Kettle, I probably have to take a pass on that trace program. I am too lazy to do it and my quota of 'useless trivia" (for the month at least) has been met! Good to know that I am running pretty good though. I don't get lag except for high lag areas.. Like Luna Bank... most of the time. It's a far cry from the pathetic mess I had with my dialup two years ago... two steps .. halt in midstride.. two steps... you know... 'slide show' UO.

52 is very respectable. You will only see a difference if you play mage v mage and they have a 20 or under ping. Casting times and spell delay's are cut much shorter then and you will suffer if you duel one of those guys.

Other than that...>I pvp / pk daily on a 100 ping connection with no problems...The only part of my game that hurts is my mage 5 dueling. Field wise...bring it.

Since I only PvM, that has no effect on me. I do notice good response in my spellcasting. I am rather gunshy from my early days of huge lag and lots of disconnects. Permanently scarred LOL.. and that is SCARRED not Scared I am not going to quibble over that call though.

In response to message just above me here.. (I think) Thanks for suggesting they move their dialogues to War Room. I was thinking it was a little off topic for in here.
