So no wonder it lags. But why does it lag for Graal, when nothing from Blizzard does? I know they have more developers and higher gros for their games. But god, why does graal lag so much =/

connection speed does matter but so do those other things.... the key problems is... BAD CODING! there is too much data transfer which is eating more bandwidth than needed and also causes more strain on the server causing more lag for everyone.
The more connections to the server the slower it will go, the way the servers are setup could also be a problem...
Blizzards games could be coded in a language that can process things faster or they could have faster servers/connection
main problem is the way it was coded though...
BTW when they had the sell thing at cyberjoueurs.com I think it was they managed it but you could add your own ad support and all of that crap... that means you paid them to make a server for you.
Source code sale would be a really nice thing...
somethin I was thinkin about... if source code was sold servers that are modified/enhanced beyond the ability of the current client, software modules could be created for the client, when connecting to the server a routine could tell it which module to use so that custom games can be created within the same game...
so lets say I want to make a brand new game I buy the graal sourcode and rewrite it in C. Its really great because its faster but I think it could be faster if the client was rewritten, so what I do is write a module that would make data transfer faster. Now that it is running awsome and is really fast even when 100 people are online at one time I want to add a particle engine and custom DX stuff to make magic spells and everything sexier.
I would also be able to release modules automatically from my server and update my server any time I needed....
This would all be very sexy and could cause servers to be more diversed and different type of games can be made inside the game "psuedo" games we could call em
All this would be working using current users and a main exe listing servers
this would also be good because people could create things to make the game accept different type of input devices like video Camera's, Streaming Radio, Special types of game controlers
this would be awsome and I am sure it would help graal... I know I would buy the source if it was only 200-500 dollars...
also ports of the game could be made to Mac and linux to allow EVERYONE TO PLAY!
