Only xDSL or higher users

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.

dude. 512mbit/s is like 512000kbit/s.

now how many of u have such connection?

Can you tell me the name off the company ho has 512mbit/s connections?

I gotta get it

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...

Hey I got 1536Kb/s that's pretty good.. right?

how about no? anyone should be able to join a server, not just fancy pants broadband people.

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.

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!!!!
