Terrible Lag?

[Hexxaex]

Hi all, I've tried using Mud Master 2000 and GMud, but I've encountered a pretty bad lag, to the point where it takes between 5 and 10 seconds for my command to go through.  The web-based client works just fine, with virtually no lag at all, so I'm not too sure what the problem is.

Does the web client have a different connection to the server than an external client?  Let me know if there are any known workarounds to this problem.  I would use the web client but I can't resize and text doesn't appear properly all the time.

Mushclient is free and decently capable of just about anything you'd need from a client.

Use MUSHClient, like everyone does.  I have found MUDMage 5 to be very good too, if you have Windows XP.

I use Zmud 4.62. It's been my best friend for nearly a decade. I have to say though, that I can't think of any reason why any particular mud client would cause you to lag.

That's okay. The game's lagging for everything. It's because it doesn't want me to reach a bar.

[Pale Horse]

Haven't been experiencing any lag due to a client.  It's probably just the game..

Speaking of which, is it just me, or does the game seem far more prone to crashes, lately?

Not just you.

I know with Comcast, they limit the amount of bandwith you can use per month or per whatever. Means if you torrent ANYTHING while even trying to play ARM(which takes up almost nothing), it'll give you serious lag. Mine likes to disconnect me completly too. Fuck you Comcast. :-)


But either way, I suggest using MUSHclient. You can do much more than Gmud, and it has SPELL CHECK!!!

I use comcast and and MUSHClient and don't have any problems with lag other than when Armageddon goes through its lagging spells from time to time.

Are you _paying_ for you comcast?

Just a though. *shrug*

what is this spell check?  is it teh coolyiest? lol.

Gmud is what hardcore people use.

Lazy people use MUSHClient for aliases, triggers, and spell check.

[Ocotillo]

Zmud is much easier to script in, and spellchecks.

I just use MUSHclient because I'm too lazy to find my key again.

Gmud is what hardcore people gremlins use.

I don't use any of these things.

I experience lag when I walk
Heh, seriously, though, I thought it was lag.
