Topic: Bandwidth

Ive just recognized that Perpetuum need an (for an non fps mmorpg) awfully lot of Bandwidth >70 kb/s+++

How comes? Can Mass battles even work some day when every Participant produce that much data ?

Re: Bandwidth

even if it is not FPS - everything is calculated serverside -> and somehow that data has to get to you.

Re: Bandwidth

If you have constantly >70 kB/s that is not normal (unless you mean kilobit, then it is). 10-15 kB/s would be, but the number really depends on what you do and your surroundings.

I hope this becomes a limiting factor -- blob v blob isn't as fun as the smaller scale skirmishes.
