Depending on the server, you will almost certainly need broadband. I've got high-speed cable and on the larger servers (55 players) the lag is still crippling, but on a server with a limit of 10 (Still very fun) you would be able to play and enjoy.

Personally I'd use broadband to make the game more enjoyable for yourself... it's also more considerate to others not to lag them like crazy.

Personally, I'd have broadband anyway..but there's no cable anything out here, and I'm half a mile too far for DSL.

woot!

You can.

We had a Massassi NWN game not too long ago and some of the participants were on dialup. I noticed no lag or connection problems.

Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.
