Not true. On average, it would take me 4 minutes in 1999. Sometimes, I'd miss the next docks when on a boat because of the time.
:shrug:
I started in '99 with a 200MHz Pentium MMX, 128MB of RAM, and a 64MB Voodoo Banshee video card, over 56K dial-up. Zone times were ~ 10 seconds on average. I remember having to wait ~15 seconds after being trained out of Crushbone or I'd zone back before the train reset. Maybe that was a good rig at the time, seemed pretty unimpressive compared to what my friends were playing online FPS games with. I do recall people with non-Voodoo video complaining a lot about performance.
