In UK most of the providers (other than cable) have cap limit.

Some times due to a purchase in steam (too many offers lately and Total War series is 20gb each game) I hit that limit for a week or so.

That drops my 2mbit line (rural area) down to 128kb. Still no lag in DAOC even if I have 128kb line limited.

And I didn't had lag back in 2002-2003 while in Greece on ISDN64 (no ADSL there then) and the crappy lines.

So who ever says has lag issues in here and they are genuine change provider. The rest stop QQ and trying to hide behind your fingers.

Ban everyone suspected Blue and keep the good work to root the radar abusers
On the last, I point the finger to a high RR mid grp who roams Odin & HW using radar and we all know who they are too.

trying playing on a separate continent. 128kbps all the way to the server is a dream for US players.

i remember seeing this Mid player name Teagen that did mysterious teleports and was told that was window dragging, im not sure what was going on at the time and i still find it difficult to determine whether that was a perfect example of window dragging or just pure lag. how do we prevent people from window dragging? im sure radar is out of the problem since GMs ban people for 3rd party tools which means is a hack that they use right? how do they catch people that radar compared to those that just find people coincidentally ?

Chat window dragging was eliminated when they changed the way chat windows resize. The other window dragging I am familiar with is dragging the window of the game screen while playing in windowed mode.

However, it is not possible for Teagen to do this. I am Teagen and I don't play in windowed mode.

I just lag. A lot. Its a running joke in my guild's TS. We will be playing this Sunday at primetime, come hop in and listen to me complain about lagging


EDIT: I also can't remember lags ever saving me or my group, but I know more than 1 fight we lost because I was essentially in 'lag mezz' the entire fight. Likewise, people who encounter others lagging probably don't take notice when the enemy lags were not to the enemy's benefit. which isn't to say lag has never helped me, its just to say we only notice when it costs us normally.

idk man, ive never seen anybody lag that badly to the point where they teleport like that in my whole daoc career and if the lag was that bad how can you even play and kill anything??

not accusing you of a liar or a cheater but that was some strange things

I sometimes have to leave group because of my lag ruining fights. Sometimes I chain LD. Yes, it sucks.


Normally I can just leave vent/ts (we have even gone so far as to use a Canadian TS server), and it will stop the chain LDes, though I will still normally lag at least a little.


Also, the things that makes the lag the worst, and cause me to freeze out for seconds at a time are multiple people talking in vent/ts, and having lots of players on my screen. When we get inc, both those things happen.

Sometimes after fights when everyone is talking about what happened I have to just alt-tab out because 6+ people trying to talk freezes my gameplay unless I alt tab out of game. It is very lame.
