English lad Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well Fibre optic landed in East Africa a couple of weeks ago (I was lucky enough to be at the launch ceremony in TZ) and its starting to trickle down through the ISPs as they get their last mile delivery up to speed. Currently from my office I hit an average of 400ms - over 100 packets sent, although my packet loss is still like 25% + but i've been assured by the CEO of our ISP that he will have that problem resolved by the end of the week. I'm considering options on what I can play effectively on that sort of link, I don't think i'd bring my invoker out of retirement, as invokers require pretty quick response times, but I think i might be able to manage something a little less speed intensive. Basically a two pronged question 1.) What do you ping to play.theforsakenlands.org 2.) What classes (ninja aside - already thought that one out in my head) would you say deal best with having a slow response time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WagesofSin Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Things that do their winning through attacks rather than inputted commands. Maybe warrior or monk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English lad Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I hate you all - back on Vsat today as the rains yesterday knocked out a WiMAX base station here - average over 100 packets is 5782.54 - with 57% packet loss. On for that honor all we had to pay was $13,500 for a VSAT dish and $750 (+VAT) a month for a 256k/64k connection. Whilst i'm loving East Africa in general - i do miss my 25Mgbs connection that I had in my house in the UK for $30 a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
