I don't get the hardware, connection argument. My friends and I were in college, on T1 lines. We were also, like most, enthusiasts with the best hardware available. It was quite possible and being done on our server. This is 4ish months after velious released.
If they think it's a detriment to server and want to nerf it, thats one thing. Go for it. To say it wasn't possible at all is false.
