A server in NZ? I thought the bandwidth cost were too high to have a server there... Can you believe the ping times you can get?? |

Bandwidth is prohibitivly expensive for the unwashed masses amongst us. But Iconz is an ISP so they don't pay the sorts of costs that most of us do.
I'm guessing this server will even give West coast USA players reasonable pings. _________________ Comments by Hotdog brought to you courtesy of AlcoInline© IV drip - For when the tedious act of drinking takes too much time away from gaming. |

I did up my connection. I have cable now. But now my computer lacks the memory (and I think the video card) to play the latest versions of the game.  |
