There\'s also a sticky called System Requirements (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=21500&boardid=17) right at the top of the first forum...

Consider thyself lucky, thesasafras. My system doth NOT meet the minimum requirements as it only hath 256 MB of RAM. But I don\'t let that stop me.  :P

Also, seeing as how Izzy*dot and Karyuu have not posted here yet:

Welcome to PlaneShift, thesasafras!  :)

Yeah, you can get away with low ram if you meet other requirements.

Most people have lag, especially when they live far away from Singapore - even if they have fast broadband connections.

Try at the command line:

ping laanx.fragnetics.com

If you get results around 200-500 ms, you should not have more problems than most of us.

wat?  how do i test watever your talking about, i went to laanx.fragnetics.com and its just a site, where do i test it?

Post by: LigH on January 19, 2006, 08:49:20 pm

In case you are using Windows (you never told us...):

Press Windows+R, enter \"cmd\". The console opens. There, enter \"ping laanx.fragnetics.com\".

In case you are using Linux, you know how to use the console...
