Okay.. Im thinking of getting Guild Wars I have the system to play it but I doubt I have the connection speed to play it. Lol I have a 56 K modem. Im not with the times I know but yeah.. Iv read where people have played it "smoothly" on 56 K but I highly doubt its smooth with those kind of graphics. So if anyone has played this game so far on 56 K please tell me your results with it! lol

I'm guessing that as GW is a MMORPG that they'll be lots of players? You'll be really lucky if you can play with minimal lag.

When I had 56K I just gave up playing online games because the experience was just so bad.

according to the main GW site and testimonials gW runs smooth even on 56kbps.

ive never played it on dial up though so im not positive about it.

the only 2 games i cud eva play on 56k were age of empires, and monter truck madness.

if uve got a good system ur not doin it justice wiv 56k. a 512kb connection is easily enough 2 play most games, and now its about £1 extra than dial up.

I don't think you can play any game on 56Kbps dial up modem.

Age of Empires works fine, only the demo. Once you have many units... it starts freezing.

I play Guild Wars on a 56K and it runs just as good as on cable. Sometimes it may have a little lag, but not usually. Just as long as I can get at least a 49K connection and that the server I'm on isn't completely full.
