LittleTeun Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 By some gameservers you can not connect to a server wenn you have a dailup (modem) connection. Is it a idea that a server can select a option, that a player with a high ping can't connect to the server. Or the player need to have for example: 512mbit/s down- and 64mbit/s upload. Or you are not alowed to enter wenn you have a dialupconnetion. Its maybe nasty for the slower gamers, but the players with a good connection will have fewer lag.
[jX] Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 dude. 512mbit/s is like 512000kbit/s. now how many of u have such connection?
fresh prince Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Can you tell me the name off the company ho has 512mbit/s connections? I gotta get it
NBS|Imperial Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Well, at least those who such connection will get a very good ping Seriously i think he means 512kb/s and 64kb/s. But that wouldnt work for me, i got 500/500 Maybe there could be 3 options, like 128kb/s 256kb/s and 512kb/s. I dont know but its a good idea...
Gussi Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Hey I got 1536Kb/s that's pretty good.. right?
Ceddan Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 how about no? anyone should be able to join a server, not just fancy pants broadband people.
petebog Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Any restriction, and I'm not saying there should be one, should be based on something that has an effect on the game, like ping. A dial-up user in the next town will probably have a better ping than a user with a 'high-speed' connection who is halfway round the world.
LittleTeun Posted September 20, 2003 Author Posted September 20, 2003 Yes i mean 512kbit/s But the server would be able to say a minimum from 1kb/s to 10000kb/s for down and upload. Or a ping from 1000ms to 1ms. Or he must have or have higher then: dailup, cabel, dsl or T1,T3. If the server want a minimum, i think he must be able to do this. This not mean al servers need to make a minimum!!! It is just a idea!!!!
