Lag
 

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.

AOL is your problem

mangoo man you forgot 56k

56K is fine AOL is the issue

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

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.

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

I despise aohell

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

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.

:?

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

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

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.

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

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?

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"

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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.

Wow, could you post your computer specs? Trying to get a rough Idea of what Im going to buy for my next upgrade from this:

P3 866mhz
Shuttle motherboard ( crappy, no APG 3.0 support)
Ati Raedon 9800 pro 128megs
768 mem
Cable 300k
