How the server handles lag...

May 25, 2003 Urza link
A while ago, before a1 optimized the server (great job, BTW) everyone tended to lag. In lag, you were invonerable. Because of this, people bitched because laggers had an unfair advantage. Thus, the server was changed so you can be kileld while lagging.

Now, lag is pretty rair for most people (even me) but not unheard of. But i want it changed back so you're invonerable while lagging. Why? BEcausw with the way the bots are now, lag means certain death at their hands. No skill can be used to fix this, no tactic can be used to prevent it. All one can do is get a faster internet connection. But not all of us can do that. People already cant hit someone when they lag, so why should bots? It just means that it's unfair now. So let the laggers lag free of harm. It's not their fault, so why punish them?

Sure it's your fault! You need to move to a shack in Guild's parking lot and run a Cat5 cable through the window.
