DAOC from wireless BB

[Wild]

i have been given a vodaphone live card to use with a works laptop and was wondering how much data Daoc takes to run online ... i mean MB per hr

i think im geting 200MB per month and wanted to know . is it worth me playing daoc a little or will it suck up all my MB allowance in a matter of hours

thx for any1 who reads this and replys :worthy:

Well on my home broadband connection, I just browse our guild forums, and play DAOC.

My usage for last month was just a little over 1GB

Daoc probably uses about 10mb/hour or so, probably a lot less in fact if you don't use voice coms, FH etc. A 56k is perfectly capable of keeping up, absolutely.

thx for replys

10MB a hr seems a lot but that would mean i get to play daoc 20 hrs a month with my 200MB cap on data

any1 actually know exact firgure it uses ?

Well, daoc uses 0.5 to 1kb/sec just walking round or idling. The moment u use spells it goes up to 3kb/sec. When u meet zergs it goes up to 5-8kb/sec or more.

So let's say the average is 3kb/sec, then the bandwith usage will be 10.3 mb/hour.

I play over GPRS a lot, uses about 1mb/hr xpin, with just you and a few mobs. goes up to 5mb/hr in busy areas.

Trouble is the GSM network has a good 2 sec lag, so forget any RVR
