IoF DM Performance Review

Go ahead and try, many people have connected via dialup and played ok, but some have had problems. Any lag will be local...

OK took your advice. Waited til Makz was on vacation so if I did crash any one out he might not know. So I ran some this week with the teamspeak in the back ground as a test and it ran like a champ. Not a scrap of extra lag. I even dismissed teamspeak and continued playing nothing changed then reconnected and Guess what ... No change. I don't have the best Computer but it is well above average. But as I said my connection is absolutely terrible. So If I dont get a noticeable difference in lag when running teamspeak then none of you guys will. Except if you computer causes it. Slow Connection speed has no bearing on teamspeak.

I'd like to say thanks to all the DM's out there who make this server happen. I've always gotten a quick response and help to any problem I've ever had. I've also been lucky enough to join in some DM events which were quite fun.

The ad-hoc quests are probably the funnest quests out there, the problem is finding them. Truth is, once you've had one, you want another one, and another one, and another one.... You get the idea. No matter who you are more DM intervention would be nice. I guess thats just because they do a really good job.

I would like to point out that I came from a server where the DM's focused on only a few players. If you managed to become one of those players you would never leave, but to others, especially ones who saw both sides and were outside, it was saddening. If people are calling out for DM attention, maybe they were just overlooked. Whatever the reason, I'd suggest finding them, even if it takes an hour just to find one who is actually willing to RP it out with you. It will make them a lot happier.

I guess I picked up the attention right about the time it was important though, because I love the server and enjoy the time spend here.
