i had a cable connection in 2000 and a computer that was pretty good since i spent an entire months lance corporal pay on it lol.

All I heard was "I don't know how to communicate with other players legitimately using their abilities"

I also had cable by the time I started EQ, but I'm not sure it would have made much difference on a 100 mob pull. EQ was meant to run on modems of the time. A lot of folks didn't even have 56K (and if you recall, even folks who had 56K rarely to never actually connected at that speed), and I don't know that the host's rate of data output took any advantage of broadband. Some other MMOG's of the time definitely didn't (I know a few online games that still used a 9600-baud or equivalent data rate even into 2000/2001). Even the best connection wouldn't help if the host wasn't sending position updates and such quickly enough.

I don't know for certain either way, but it's something to think about.

Yah but this is SOE we are talking about. They prolly had a decent connection. I remember kiting and rarely ran into many problems
