Lag

[dark~paradox]

First off id just like to say I love Eqemu and everything you guys have done.

But I was just wondering with this new release is there any chance the servers are more stable?? I stoped playing due to the massive amount of lags and dealing with disconnects all day =(. 56k and AOL are not my friends.

[mangoo]

AOL is your problem

[heydafam2]

mangoo man you forgot 56k

[mattmeck]

56K is fine AOL is the issue

[mangoo]

Yea back in the day when there were free dialup ISPs... i could get under 100ms ping to game servers, they rocked. AOL on the other hand is terrible

[mattmeck]

I know people who play EQ on a 28.8 connection with very little lag, then i know people who have AOL broadband and have major issues with lag.

[Kgaul]

AOL uses a TON of your bandwidth for all kinds of crap. i had Broadband aol and dumped it for roadrunner..

I despise aohell

[mattmeck]

I have roadrunner too, isnt it funny that it shows up as AOL.... :twisted:

[DeletedUser]

When I had AOL. I never got lag and zoned really fast. Though I got like 200+ pings in FPS games. But with EQ I never had a problem. Maybe it's the fact it was back in like 3.0/4.0 days. I saw what my friend has.. 9.0? It's like.. super buffed out with a million images and worthless crap you don't need.

:?

[dark~paradox]

Im still using 6.0 any other version would have my ping going crazy. To bad I dont even get cable up my road =(.

[exzapel]

Road Runner Is Below Eartlink In Overall Satisfaction Same Company Provides The Equipment And Service But EL Is Cheaper and has a bunch of features and junk

[mattmeck]

Very true, but of corse I am on a military instilation so my choices are dial up or RoadRunner :(

If i would live 2 blocks away (off post) i would have a lot of choices, damb Army.

[exzapel]

its damn and you in the military? wtf man do they know you are using questionably legal servers for everquest?

[mattmeck]

I am not in the army i got out a year and a half ago, my wife is still in 8) Im a stay at home Dad.

And my Old SGT is a member of EQEMU, its NOT against the law so why would the army care if people use it?

[exzapel]

goverment agencies have been tryoing to stop it and i thought it was in that gray area where they dont know cuz sony has designed their game to be P2P and changing that is what i thought was in that gray area thats why i used the qualifier "Questionably"

[Edgar1898]

lol I'm in the military and I develop for the emu so :P

[exzapel]

like i said im not completly sure just thought it was in some gray area

[Scorpion360]

i have Charter T1

works great for games

for FPS games im constantly pinging sub 30s. If i would uprgrade my ram zoning into any zone save bazaar would be >2 seconds. Currently with 256 mb its about 5 seconds

[Kgaul]

Using bellsouth broadband atm. its rocking thou i'm sorry to say i have no idea how to check my pings. I'm a super noob when it comes to networking...

I beta tested the orig EQ before it went live, P-3. Started on aol but switched to EL fast...

I love adsl.

Remember Kids, Don't Use GayOL (no offence to gay people)

[a_Guest03]

Hey, let's not slander gay people by associating them with aol.

[exzapel]

yeah your right its even more offensive to use that with aol

[Blakkjak]

AOL is so retarded , USing bellsouth broadband and I can use the dial up on my spare computer until I setup the network

[Jerrysn]

It seems like 10-13 players is the max for a sever, after that it's difficult to get logged on let alone stay on.

Yeah alot of items will effect it, but its what I see with a 59Kish connection with Earthlink..

See these are bandwith issues not EQEMUlator issues.

if you are on slow connections (less than DSL) i wouldnt expect great stability, also if the server you are on has a slower connection upspeed (anything less than say 384kb/s) i wouldnt even bother.
