sorry typed in wrong section previously. i know some peopl get ants in there pants about the stuff so...

Long story in short

Never played it before. downloaded 10 day trial. keep getting disconnected from server every 10 minutes. I have shitty mobile internet (usb) Is that the prob or is it likely to work better when i buy it? Dont want to buy the game to still get dc every 10 minutes from the server because my internet cant handle it.

It also advised downloading divx 9.0c which i did (cost me 36 in phone credit) prob a rip off company right?


now you can complain about it being in two sections of the forum :P

it's your connection, i've been playing it for a few months and i've never had a problem with the connection.

so is this thread just about the internet connection or you want more info on the game?

I dont know much about either lol

Is the game worth playing, from the testing ive done it seems to be quite addictive. That I dont have a problem with, as I dont watch much TV when im chilling around the house im on my comp or studying anyway. So what im asking, I guess, is is the game worth the time spent playing it or after a few months will i get bored and realise ive just been doing the same bollocks for months on end?

:P

I doubt its the game.. sounds like your shitty internet isn't able to keep up with the game packets.. I'm not sure in WoW but is there a way to check your connectivity while your in game.

latency would be good to watch..That should be your ping.. High is bad.. low is good..

yep, but you can get pretty high ping and it doesn't effect you that much
except when the game decides to show good latency then lag like hell and wipe your whole group....not that i'm bitter or anything
