That's a PC. More proof that PC's are better then Macs. Open source always wins. And can I get a copy of that client?

I'm pretty happy because I was able to change my multi's name from tarnx to "Kryten" and reserve that one.

Hopefully one of the faces available will be a robot face. That'll be brilliant!

Your perceived "lag" is determined by both your ping and your frame rate.

• Your ping, or latency, is the round trip time for a data from the client to the server and back is what we call ping, measured in milliseconds. A ping of 150 means that it takes 150 milliseconds to send a message to the server and get one back. A slow ping will mean it takes longer for you to see the result of your action initiated on the client.
• Your frame rate is determined by the speed of your hardware, both processor and graphics. Technically, more players could lower your frame rate because we have to draw more, and the other players would be casting spells which could lead to a lot of graphical effects on screen, but it's really negligible (since we're really adding one more character to 20 characters already on screen). A slow frame rate means the world updates fewer times per second (chugs).

The best situation is a low ping and a fast frame rate. It's possible (and normal) to have a low ping and a low frame rate, or a high ping and a fast frame rate.

Bottom line is, you can't affect their lag and they can't really affect yours.

Not trying to start a flame war, but you are wrong

Not gonna retype, so here is short version:

Its called a DoS attack. Very nasty, and an example of how other players can influence your connection and ping. Go look it up.

Again, not trying to be rude, just want the community to be informed.

Lol. That doesn't prove anything. That has nothing to do with the game.

I think azulflame meant to post that in the "Can other people cause lag" thread, as evidenced by where assomers' post link goes.

To the people wondering why it is PL on a PC, it is because naturally, they don't do their programming on a mobile devices. Because of this, they need, I guess you could call it an emulator, to playtest the game on.

Also am I the only one who LOL-ed at the reserved name? Lvlonewarior, his level 1 twink, when PL-style warriors don't really exist in space and the name would be very out of place in BS. If you're going to reserve the.name, it could have been more thought out. Really not trying to be rude, just an observation. Unless the name is actually meant to stand out, in which case I guess my LOL is justified?

yep. mobile version has problems on my phone, concerning posting in the right locations. it always posts in the thread i visited right before the one i want to post in. IDK why, but it does. probably just a script compatibility error.

that's the short version because I spent 10 minutes typing an essay on my phone and did not feel like retyping it. PL was running in the background and some people probably started spamming spells in the town I was in (I was beside Ellie.)hit a lag spike and the information I was trying to send was lost.
