Has anyone out there play a internet multiplayer game on a dialup modem? If so how did it play?

I played during the beta-test on dial-up. It was slow/sluggish, but it could be done with players who are patient. Some games lasted far past an hour before any problems. Definitely stick with small/tiny worlds.
I have since gotten a cable connection. Completely different world! -
I tried, but gave up since other players won't allow you to play if your ping is too high.So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste

Latencacy was always a problem. Interruptions as well. Go DSL!

For 1:1 duels its tolerable, for anything else it's not (33.6-56k).
Also there is a problem with "lazy" DSL players who won't allow you to join.Comment
