/tar Dial-up
Alprazalam — Fri, 10/03/2008 - 20:38
I love playing WOW with all you guys. I love doing 5 mans, Kara, mALT, and since Atar has been letting me go to BT I have fallen in love with end game content. BUT, I now have a problem.
Our family has 2 houses, a lake house and a country house. We have been living in the Lake house and I have DSL here; however, Mom and Dad want to move back into the country house. I can only get Dial-up at the country house. I'm still going to try and play some so I don't fall too far behind. We'll only be there for 2 to 3 months.
Basically, how much I play in the coming months depends on how bad I lag on Dial-up. I'm hoping I'll still be able to quest to get to 80 in WOTLK because I really want to raid in the expansion.
As far as raid Fail Still goes, I know I'm not going to be able to make it on Mondays because I'm on the East Coast and I won't be able to be at Atar's house that night becuase I have school in the morning and I can't be driving everywhere at midnight. Saturdays I'm going to try my best to be there.
BTW, if anyone has ever played WOW on dial-up and knows a way to reduce lag, please tell me.
And just for the record, these are some things I have and want to complete before WOTLK comes out.

See (and now downed) Illidan and every boss in BT.

Kerilyn — Tue, 10/07/2008 - 12:15i would have to agree with fel and ryu, i also leveled to 70 on dialup, its definitely not the same as dsl but at least its something.

darkwolf — Sat, 10/04/2008 - 12:05i know right, it teachs u to play better because u learn to anticiapte things. the only thing ive seen that cant be done on 56k is like 25 man raids and bgs where all the effects from the diff players are on screen at once. o well back to go find nitequill.

Felsteel — Sat, 10/04/2008 - 10:45i lvled and played and a connection that was slower or as fast as 56k and would freeze every 5-10 min and i lvled to 70 on that thats why i laugh when atar complains about lag.

darkwolf — Sat, 10/04/2008 - 10:11well i lvled 1 - 70 on 56k and healed in a kara on 56 k granded i wasnt the most effective healer but i still healed so im sure u will be able to lvl and do instance with little or no problem.
