I've done it with the velious ui (ie no bandolier or external inventory window). Ball mice were only marginally worse than opticals (barely so with a pad), the main thing was they required consistent cleaning.

I don't assume your desktop is bad, but my laptop is 6 years old and didn't have problems. Dunno what to tell you.
that is simply not true at all about ball mice being worse then optical, specially back then, you can ask any oldschool FPS pro

Devs should just throttle server side bandwidth to 28k per client.

Not a whole damn zone of mobs like some are saying. Yo must have had the BEST internet connection in the whole world to do lots of mobs back then. Not counting your mom or dad would have thrown you under the bus dialing a phone number when you were on like a lot of people did back in the day.. [You must be logged in to view images.

Ok son, I think tying up the damn phone for like 13 hours straight is probably long enough. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Not counting AoL dropped you about every 45 minutes whether you did something or not.

You can play eq with really low band width, you don't need a vast quantity of information to be transferred between you and the server, you just need what little is transferred to be done quickly.

Hell the "Blue Screen of Death" was to me a bigger problem than Bards back then lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Window 98 and Windows XP were about as reliable as a woman's period. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
