when it happens to the other guy

lol yes I do

use it all the time

need the high quality wi-fi to avoid those issues

lol I don't know to be honest. But yeah, distant, walls, other computers using the network, etc. Sometimes I hit 130 mBs sometimes I hit 60 mBs. It can be annoying.

My issue, at least I think, was a nearby metal frame on one side of the router and a computer on the other. Neither of which being mine. So, I had to get things rearranged so I could just wire directly into it. Figured it's easier than moving it around until reception improves.

Sad thing is, normal surfing was no problem. Playing an action MMO was impossible.

I dunno. They're the same as any game, entertainment. The only difference is whether or not you want to play alone (SP), with someone (MP), or want to have a variety of people you can meet (MMO).

The only one I'm playing is Vindictus, which plays like Soul Reaver (I've been waiting for so long for someone to make an action MMO that is not point and click) and is free. So, I get free entertainment that is more than stat building and item collection. No different than playing a SP RPG.

Besides, I play like an hour every couple of days. No real loss.

Vindictus is nice cause there's no monthly and, unlike Guild Wars, you have to control your character's strikes and blocks, like any combat game. This means that you don't learn a lot of spells to queue up via hotkeys, but you learn moves (there is training involved) that operate largely through a series of mouse controlled strikes. If you like something more interactive than Guild Wars, this is a good game.

I did Diablo II (which had tons of places you could take it), Guild Wars (story disappointed, but style was nice), Requiem (basic, but tough until they nerfed the whole game), and Vindictus (even redoing missions continues to present challenges). If I did others, I don't remember.

Yeah I agree tesb.

though I guess it would depend on what I agreed on

I know, but I can just say I misunderstood in this case because he said nothing

I rest my case.
