QUAKE II ONLINE "SIGN UP NOW!!!"

[Calen]

I was just wondering if there was some 'trick' to get around this without paying £30 per month for broadband just to play Quake2

If your in the UK and within range (6KM max) from your nearest telephone exchange that has been upgraded for ADSL, then i think you will find its cheaper than 30 UKP,  around 20 to 22 UKP p/m  is quite common, you may find it even cheaper though depending on ISP.
Be carefull as some charge extra for connection & equipment.

You should  check out ADSLGuide  it pretty much covers all the info you will ever need about ADSL in the UK and also includes an ADSL checker to see if you can actualy get it in your area. if not there is always cable which i can't get :/

Might join you guys during the week when i get Q2... if the server is still up. I've never played this game so go easy :-)

redmelons:sorry for killing u so much ;( , anyway how all managed to play in the late 90s , easy...they used ISDN or simmilar or minimum 56k , its fully possible but make sure you have selected 56k in the MENU in quake2 , if thats on broadband then u will have problems seeing us due to packet size of the files u recive...

also so sphinx is a tad slow so when there is like 6 people playing u will get a lag, and a lag means.. you will see an icon in the top left corner and u wont be able to move for a little or longer period of time...

other than that, we might need to run some practice runs when u join us so we could actually test if its a problem or not, let me know when u wanna play ....oh and tell sphinx so he can have the server online

cheers
