Planetside bans dail-up users

[KamiGaijin]

Remember how they said they weren't actually going to prohibit dial-up users?

Well guess what! All this BFR crap has made the game completely unplayable for dial-up users. Whenever I'm even close to one of these things, the game gets choppy. But since there are always 20-30 BFRs in any given area during combat now, I will literally go LD for minutes at a time. It's very annoying to have to sit at a door for 30-45 seconds before it opens. And then when it opens you run out and drop dead. Then you realize that you actually died 30 seconds ago when an enemy opened the door and saw you standing there like an idiot.

I've tried everything, even sniping, and guess what...I can watch a BFR in my scope simply fade out of existance because the connection can't even carry it's image to my computer.

Congratulations Developers! You've seemed to have found a way to cut the game's population without technically banning anyone! You simply make the game unplayable.

I guess I have two options: Upgrade to a much more expensive broadband, or quit. Unfortunately, the island I live on off of Japan doesn't have broadband.
