I write this message as a newbie, who downloaded and created a character on the day of this message, and I would like to say hello!
Secondly, I would like to rant about my problems with the lag that is created while I play the game Planeshift.
As I logged on, and finally entered the world, a wave of seemingly endless lag struck me; the aforementioned monstrosity caused me 10 second delays or more between each action as I crawled along the game world like a sloth.
My reaction was similar to this:
[Reminiscence]
\" Why! Why have I been cursed with this lag, the pain!@$% (involuntary twitching) !#*& \"
[/Reminiscence]
Hastily, I attempted to log off the wretched device, upon which I slouched back into my chair in dismay at the lengthy intermissions.
After I regained full use of my appendages, I began to put into words the question that had appeared due to the problem itself:
Why is it that I suffer from such lag. I would not expect this to occur.
So, in turn, I traveled here to learn more of my crippling disorder, known as \'Lag\" (see Reminiscence).
I was wondering how the others manage to get by, if they have this trouble at all. For those of you who wish to view into the life of my computer, I have prepared this statement:
Computer Manufacturer: Gateway
Processor: Pentium 4
RAM: 768 MB
\'Hard Drive\' memory: Approximately 70 \'Gigs\'
Graphics Card related Items: Nividia Geforce 2, or something of the like.
Sound Card: If I could remember...
Non-Telephonic Accessory for inter-connected linking of multiple systems (I think they call it the Internet now) Setup: Cable/DSL equivalent
Hobbies: Crashing; Fragmenting
Status: 10% Leprechan, 20% Orthodox Methodism, 70% Computer (Not sure about the rest, may be rat infested,
)
Thank you very much for any replys you may send my way.
