as all of you who play me know i have a very 1337 connection called a 56k its probably the best connection out there.....yea right....well because of my connection problems i somtimes have trouble playing with all of the other wee little children so i have been thinking of wether i should just stop playing ja or to keep playing its not always bad when i play but i usually get lag a lot worse. some of you i can play without trouble most of the time but still this is a serious problem and seems how i live in montana i cant get cable or dsl where i live. so please post a comment what do you think i should do?:alliance: p.s i also need to try and somehow get that nice skin pack i hear everyone talking about. :mad:

I remember 56k, and I'm sorry for saying this...my cable has been so great. it's like going from N64 to PS2. it's like going back to the N64 and saying "I can't believe I thought these graphics were cool."

I'll pray for you mate.

I do ok-ish on my 56k. Ping with a full server is usually around 600. With under about 8 people, it drops below 400, sometimes even below 300. Its playable, but not easy to win anything :(

Yea i have funky lag like that alot. I hate hitting some dude like 8 times in a row then hes behind you and your dead before you even know he moved. The only thing i like about it is we live in a small town and we have a freind that works in that office the compuplus one where we get our 56k and she took us off the list because compuplus got new owners and raised the prices so the price is no problem lol its free. But then i guess it is a prob my mom likes having it free so we cant get dsl until she sees how much better it is and then still i dont know if it will be out this far its expanding fairly quickly out here...luckely anyway thanks for the comments peace.:alliance:

Maul I think you forget that 56K = pay per hour ;) So Aenima would pay his/her a fortune if he/she did what you said (d/l the skin pack at night). However the other suggestion (get SOME of the skins) is good :)

As for your 56K, don't worry. I too had a 1337 56K but I never stopped playing, and I had a ~520-530 ping. ;) Keep playing and you'll get better even with the ping. We also got a JAT (Xanatos) whose ping is SO SO SO bad (worse than my old one) :P :D

Xan help this guy :P

Well....it's kinda up to you, I don't know how bad your lag is and how often you have it.
But if I were you...i'd keep playing, because lag can't ruin all the fun here :)

And perhaps you could ask JJ or someone else they could send you like a few very cool skins, so you don't have to d/l it completely.
Or you could d/l it during a night when you don't need the computer anyways :)
