Can anyone explain it to me, how for example if you play on battle.net server that locate on USA and you live far away, you won't have lagg at all? many big MMORPG games have no lagg at all, and i am wondering how is it possible? I mean the data still have to go through many servers, and only then get to us.

Netcode designed for high latency environments.

iirc battlenet doesn't actually play thru their servers, its just a matching server, the actual game play occurs in p2p sessions between clients.

I also have never heard of "Dave"

We have Mario and Sonic and Donkey Kong

When I was in school we played AvP, Unreal and the likes over the network and that Tron bike game (that rocked) and and Midtown Madness Cops and Robbers

Man I wish I was back in school

Well anyway, if we are talking about connections, I have noticed that if I am restarting the internet, I might get a better connection then i had before.

Is it possible to make the connection the best it can be from the start?
