You' d have to connect that T1 line directly to verant's server cluster to avoid the vagaries of the internet. High ping was usually not the problem, within reason, but the massive lag spikesthat lasted several scond or more. These were very frequent in the first coule years of EQ's existence. And it would only take one time happening at a bad time to wipe out hours of hard work... Which is why people played it safe, and no bards mass kited, while only the ballsiest druids quad kited and generally only light blues.
Even that direct T1 line (which didn't exist unless you workd for verant) still wouldn't solve verant's server issues or poor graphic cards/driver optimization.
