EG's Broadband Arena

[Aileron]

I don't go to Extreme Games, but today I felt like checking up to see what it was all about. In there, I found something that they set up quite recently.

 

One of there pub arenas is devoted strictly to non-laggy players. That is one of the best ideas I've seen a zone staff establish. Cudos to whoever's idea it was.

 

I think that you guys should go one step farther. Your packetloss requirements were low, and your zone is on that despicable piece of hardware known as the SSCX server. I found that my ploss was too high to play in EG.

 

You should have another arena devoted to players that lag too much to meet your regular requirements. Instead the arena would have less restricive requirements, or maybe no requirements at all. Maybe, the situation calls for even a MINIMUM lag requirement. That way players who would normally be specced and would eventually leave could play atleast somewhere in your zone. I for one have left a couple of zones for lag-related reasons (back when lag was a real problem and 250 ms ping was considered low.).

 

 

This message has secondary message to all the staff of other large zones. Any zone that can support multiple pubs should have a broadband and definitetly a crap modem pub arena.

and make another one that allows cheating so we can all go and cheat without getting banned.

I believe there is ?go laggy in TW already, You can play there until you spec yourself... dunno about the no-lag though... there'd be a total of like, 3 people there. (that can play)
