Ping directly effects when to toss potions, target heals, and time spells. There is a variety of other things I'd rather not list at the moment but aim for the best connection you can get and all will be well.

Does being a counselor permit you to be an asshole to players?


I wasn't sure.

Where is any of that does it mean I was being an asshole? You seem to think you're the brightest user on these forums so break it down and tell me what about my post makes you so nit picky as to thinking I was being an asshole.

I'll re-word it to better suit you.

If you don't use Razor you are missing out on a lot of features that can make your gaming experience a lot better.

hey thanks bob that appeared genuine

Kefka - that happens during a DoS (denial of service) attack. it can also occur randomly, it's just basic lag... usually on your own part. i get it all the time.

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.

Re: So How Important is Connection Speed?

I've learned how for sure. I almost never get pk'd anymore unless I make a big mistake. However, ping DOES make a huge difference when trying to escape or chase someone, and with 300 ping, you would NEVER catch me. Might get away by recalling, but you'd never get me.
