Re: So How Important is Connection Speed?
On this server, with mounts, yes. Ping makes a HUGE difference in PVP, not as much in duels, but in real pvp out in the field. I have people run from me a TON, or when I get attacked by 6 guys I can't outrun them because they sometimes run past me, cast, then target. I ping about 90 on a good day.
Other servers I've played in the past had no mounts at all, it made the pvp much more fair, no offscreening at all really. This server is more like UO was when I played last (2001), ping > skill.
