I had the very unusual situation of having a T1 to my house when I was ~13. I could run circles around everyone in UO (until cable modems started to become more widespread). I was decent at the game, but the difference in lag definitely made a big difference. One additional trick was to have macros that would spam text before casting a spell. This would cause even more lag for people on the receiving end of an explosion + ebolt combo.

When UO came out I had a ~5ms ping to LS server on a substantial university connection. I thought I was amazing at PvP until several months later when I was downgraded to a 56K modem :(

But for a while it was awesome being able to outrun people who were riding horses.

Not to flex, but …

In 1998 I had a pc co-located in a yahoo data center that was running UO 24/7 on 100mb.

Ping times were low single digit.

I used pcanywhere to remotely control the client and the rest of the time It was macroing. Never disconnected and never had a power outage.

That was my 1998 password to dialup in seattle for Diablo.

I have a shitty mem, but I can recall every single password I have ever used...

That wasnt 1998, my bad - it was 1996 with an ISP in seattle... I cant recall the name - and I want to attribute that password to ix.netcom, but thats not correct... who was the indy ISP in seattle at the time?

I can't resurrect that name, so help me out?
