Since im retarded with computer and anything associated with them.

The internet at my gmas is really fuckin sketchy and only like 500kb-1mb/sec, im only gonna be here for a little while longer so its not a life changer.

What do you think the minimum speed for the internet can be to run it smoothly? Not sure if there is anyway to tell but im just looking for estimates.

feel free to make fun of this connection :S

2mb will run it smoothly. 500kb/sec will be pushing it.

1mb will have some interference at times but should be playable.

wait.. are you talking of Megabytes or MegaOctet... use this tool so that we can answer correctly: http://www.speedtest.net/ the result will be in megabytes.. as long as you're up to 5-6 you'll be fine i guess

man u crazy? games run on WAY WAY WAY less then that, they transfer as little data as possible. You could play on a cable modem setup from 2005 and it would play fine.

Graphics do not = more lag, thats client side. Everquest and DaoC etc all played on modems and shit. The amount of info being sent hasnt changed THAT dramatically.

megabytes, ive used speedtest. thats how i got my info ^ lol



This is what i thought, i was monitoring GW1 when I was playing and it seemed to transfer around 10-30kb/sec at MAX when i was in kamadan d1 or if i was in an explorable area alone.

I was thinking that seemed too low but is that right?

you download at 500kb / 1mb per sec OR you have ~1mb connection?

for instance i have 50mb connection and download at ~ 1mb / sec

so if you download at 500/1mb you won't have any prob with the game

Idk. The speed tests I did averaged at about 100 ping and .85mb/sec. So is that saying that's my connection or actual speed?

You are as clueless as everyone else that is posting in this thread.

What you meant to say was.. "for instance I have a 50 Mbps connection and download at ~ 1 MBps" which is incredibly WRONG anyways.

For instance.. I have a 30 Mbps connection and download at 3.4 MBps.

I think I'm too stupid for my own thread...

You'll be fine. Maybe some lagg occasionally, but overall it will be OK.
