Broadband is required

[Jackrabbit]

Note: Participation in the beta is limited—only while supplies last. This offer is only available to purchasers of the official pre-order box (which includes CD with Jump to Lightspeed installer and Access Key sticker). Must be a subscriber in “good standing” of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided. Broadband connection is required. Beta period is defined as October 8, 2004, through October 22, 2004. Those trying to enter before or after the defined beta period will not be allowed access.

 

You guys do know that the second I find out you need broadband for the expansion I'm out of here? I'm serious; no warning, no giving my stuff away, just bam delete Grask so I don't have any second thoughts, then bam, cancel account.

 

The only reason I bought this game was for JtL. The only reason I've played this long is because of Tebra () and because I'm waiting for JtL. If they cut me out of it now, after I've waited so long... *sigh*

bah, the devs have run this game into the ground, i'm quitting no matter what

[JunoXanadu]

i'm pretty sure i read the specs someplace for the actual add on, not the Beta Test, and it said the same specs as SWG it self.

I will try and remember where i saw em...

I think its just Beta that requires Broadband..

 

please corect me if im wrong, but whats the point in illiminating half the galaxy for the xpansion, just coz they are on modem.

 

i deffinatly read someplace minimum was 56k modem

Finally, those 56kers won't lag up space for us 1MB's.

[Jackrabbit]

Are you being sarcastic Reaper? 56kers don't lag up anything in this kind of game. SOMETIMES in FPS they lag things up, but not in an MMORPG. The servers are set up differently.

 

The reason this makes me angry is this - I play FPS online. Yeah I've got a lot of lag, but I'm serious about playing, so I get used to it and still kick ass. Any 56ker who is serious about playing can do the same thing. But, if they make it so I can't even get into space, that's just...not right.

i dont take lightly to that comment neo'/neoc/ryu-. grask is right in the fact the servers are configured differently to accomodate 56kers with minimal to no effect whatsoever. any lag you experience is just server itself, as it cant keep up with all the **** going on at once sometimes.before you post, im NOT flaming, im just stating my opinion and it was in no way an insult nor am i pissed at you, i just didnt like the comment

 

as for this new development, ill pretty much be doing similar to grask. if JTL requires high speed, im sellin everything and will decided where the money should go. i would hate to do this, because i love the guild, but its just the way it will probably go. wait for MEO or some crap. *shrug*

 

just have to sit back and wait
