hello, i've been playing on Wifi for now cause for this month i've passed the limit of my 3g bandwith, next month ill raise my 3g connection to 200mb limit.


how much bandwith does PL takes? like, per hour or so.

and if a developer can answer, what are the things that use up more uploads/downloads ? (other than patching and updating ofc), anything that could be cut in a "light" version for special use in 3g?

Thanks,

Praesidium, lvl 15 enchantress healer.

Bandwidth use depends on play style. Best thing to do is reset your network usage meter, play for an hour, and extrapolate.

Well that's 5 mins of in towne/ light consignment shop and 40 mins of fast runs with alot going on.

I've found 250 MB per month to be ok
