Singapore is so damn close to my country.

Probably like New Zealand.

NOt much international bandwidthj or limit.

bah

WHy does this game work slow on my PC...?

Intel Pentium 3.2 Ghz 2mb cache
Intel D925 Motherboard
1024mb Corsair XMS 5400 DDR2 RAM
Geforce 6800GT
74Gig RAPTOR 10 000RPM Hardrrive

IS the game engine bad or something? cause it jumps and has texture problems ...

The simple answer is, this game is in pre-alpha development. The engine isn\'t \"bad\", but it\'s hardly \"finished\" either.

PlaneShift DOESN\'T NEED low ping

400 is quite normal, this isn\'t a FPS where every movement needs to be transfered and every bullet needs to be calced 1000 times

iirc, doesn\'t the ping in ps not measure the simple bounce from the nic on the other end. it also has some server responce build it to it?

Ping is not the issue. Worse if you have packetloss. I have sometimes
500-600 and game works ok, if I have packetloss I have LARGE delays
while chatting or fighting. So, if you are looking for problems with slow
game open yourself a CMD/DOS window and see if you have packetloss
or not.
