I have a clean install of XP on my Alienware, and the server is now on it. Let me know if you notice a HUGE speed increase. It should be SCREAMING fast! [img]smile.gif[/img]

So, Thats why I was zipping from area to area this mourning. I thought I was just on a clear line for a change.
I have 6 computers set up in my house on LAN and when I have friends over we play Call of Duty, Halo, NWN and a number of other Multiplayer games. Now your server is very close to that speed or at least is was a while ago, this is great!!!!

Bah, the phone company better hurry up and come fix that broken phone line.
I can't bother playing online when the internet crashes every 5 minutes.

It still lags a little when Buying or selling things to Duran and talking to him waiting for a responce or for the next line of conversation to click on. That may be on my end due to Cable problems Adelphia was having. it seems that a number of their remote amplifer stations on the east coast got zapped in an electral storm. you know what lightining can do to your computer. today it is working much better but, if or should I say when I sell things to Duran and switch from one bag of holding to another the game locks up and I have to hit reset Then reload your server. This doesn't happen every time anymore just every 4th time. That's why I'm thinking it's because of my cable server and their resetting of the system.
They told me everything is suspose to be back up to 100% by monday Aug 30th or before.It better be before or I'll switch over to COX cable. Most everything else is running smooth and alot faster. load time when traveling from one floor to another "speedy quick". unlocking chests is a whole lot faster (ZIP and its unlocked). One problem on the main Inn floor and the speed of conversation may be: there is so much going on in that room it may cause a little bit of lag but if that the worst that is happening I wouldn't sweat it. we can live with it without complaining. as I said that too may be on my end.

Ive noticed a definite speed increase. Skullport is still slow but the game runs much smoother... it seems to me anyway.

He is just checking on everything. See the skull guardians are way over worked and under paid... so to save time they use time stop from time to time to catch up on their duties... or when a hot female skeleton walks by. I always catch them checking out my female characters too.
Anyway.....
