Guest Kvan Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Originally posted by darthfergie It will be a little slower, but not by much. The way this game is, the only way you will have a problem on slow down is when you get into the HUGE battles. Which won't be a problem for me cause I die pretty quick Does anyone know if you can play modem to modem? You never have any slow down when you play games that way.

darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Most likly although I havn't done that in quite some time. So I really wouldn't know. Paragon_Leon how about it. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Looks like you guys better get cable really quick. I don't know about in the Netherlands, but it is pretty cheap over here, and it is the same price if you have a second phone line. And believe me, it is worth every single penny, or whatever currency you have. Not only is it really fast, but it is liek a second phone line, and you never have to dial in. It rocks, so get it, you won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthfergie Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Yes I know I have one. I would have had DSL, but oh well that is a LONG story. Cable modem is awsome! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Cable is coming here in the Netherlands... it's already in several cities, just not the one i live in. We get it in two months time. (just in time for the game!!) I haven't played online yet, fergie, so i really wouldn't know how fast 56k is. But since it is supposed to be no trouble, i imagine you'd run pretty smooth.

Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 ok people, the question of the thread was about system reqs and two pages ago i asked if it could be a bit more on-topic. about 3 posts on those two pages were (!). I'm moving this to off-topic, sorry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kvan Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Hey I asked about how the game would play on a modem, thats part of the system req.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go get a job....slacker Yep, that's me. I'd never pay for my own internet, as my 3 sibiling use it too, although not as often as me. Trust me though, it is like 30 times better, i had an old 19.2 modem, then a 56k, but i'll never go below 218k now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Kvan, then yours must have been one of the on-topic posts. Seriously, just look at the first question and then read the thread. then you'll see what i base these kinds of decisions on. A lot of people who only visit these forums once a week are a bit put off by going through so many pages of posts and reading only 20% of it as relevant stuff..

Yes but in every thread there is "side talk". My question about Modem play is on the last page! It was still going on topic, it just had a bit of small talk, which would have past. I don't agree that you moved it to off-topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 i asked about that small talk two pages before. that's what i meant. sure it's ok to have small talk, but better to do that in off-topic if it's overbearing in the post. and the post talks about requirements anyway, not the game itself... relax, there's no real difference in posting in galactic discussion or off-topic. unless you're easily set 'off' of course. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess there was a lot of small talk. I've just been seeing you move a lot of topic lately (I don't want you going power crazy), but maybe thats because the original mods never did (sorry I just had to take a shot at them ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 ...and you missed. :D I moved two topics so far i think. So it's not that bad.. maybe you'd want to start some new ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 not if they're on-topic :D lighten up, Kvan.. make my day.. What did you say you have again ? 56K or cable ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 But what can you really expect form a thread named "qeustion"? After the question is answer, a couple times by a couple people in different words, the topic is bound to move off topic. Plus, there is no reason to get upset about a topic being moved. I don't see any of this as spam, as we are having a legitimate dissucssion, but you gotta admit, we are off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Hmm, that's not where i thought this post would go. But it is still applicable. Anyways, you should have heard of the topic "question" because it is this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
