Su> what class are you? And what is your connection speed? I assume you're on dial up in a rural area and highs peed internet such as cable or DSL is not available to you. Even if you're connecting at 44k-46k sometimes you can help yourself by what kind of computer you have. I know at one point I had a PIII 800mhz system on an ISDN line and I didn't have TOO much lag. But that was back when Kunark and Velious were the newest expansions. Now I have a P4 2.4 Ghz with 1GB RAM and a 256MB video card on a 5Mb cable modem connection. No lag at all.

Subject: Re: [EverQuest] Does anyone solo anymore?
I prefer to solo, unfortunately its not possible with
my connection. At level 66 I still have trouble
killing level 30s. Mostly because of the damage
misreporting related to the lag. Although I haven't
played in months. My connection has gotten so bad that
I really can't play anymore. I tried doing an LDON a
few months ago but the lag got so bad that I was stuck
for 15 minutes unable to do anything. Zoning takes at
least 5 minutes. If I die it will take me 20 minutes
at the very least to get back to my corpse. Sometimes
an hour if I have to zone a lot.
I really don't think the game is designed for
characters of my class and level to be able to solo.
I've pretty much switched to World of Warcraft now
because it doesn't do damage misreporting and death
doesn't take too much time.
luv,
