For all of you people with a 56K modem, i've got a question. I have one too, and i wanna know, how hard is it to play MP with one. How slow is everything?

Well, it is, understandably, considerably slower than playing with a cable or (A)DSL connection. Also, you might find that you're limited to playing with only two or three players maximum. Sometimes a 56k can't handle more players than that. I haven't played on one for very long, but the above I know to be true. Hope it kind of helps [img]smile.gif[/img]

I got a 56k modem, when playing MP it's very slow and laggy ( example, to pull out a sword, it will takes like a few minutes where it takes only seconds for some ), thus you'll likely be a target for PvP. sometimes the screen goes totally black as the connection get disconnected.

IIRC I could play Starcraft a few years ago on Battle.net with my old 56k just fine...

Would Warcraft 3 have any problems?

it should be okay if you use US servers but definitely not Asia servers.

SecretMaster, you may be able to, I am unsure- but Jeffi, Starcraft wouldn't be a problem as it isn't a huge memory-guzzling game- still, you could but try it, SM.

as long as the game isnt an FPS you should do fine... RPGs run well over it... I recomend PSO and Earth and Beyond too... those are the smoothest running 56k Games I know of...
