Is it true that modems cannot be used in any of the betas!
I�m asking this because i have a 56k and am desperately waiting for the betas... so should I just stop waiting?
I know in the past some betas have only been for broadband, but once you think about it, its not very smart scene its a test. Its necessary for all types of hardware to be tested in betas...
What would happen when you officially released the game and found out that there was a bug that effected connection speed so much 56kers would over lag... the 30% of today�s game has a dial up, And 30% of the people who buy this game will most likely modem users, and thus you have 30% of all the people quitting right off the bat just because you wouldn�t have a few modem testers in beta
I cant get broadband because I�m too poor, in less than a year, broadband costs usually more than any piece of hardware in the average computer, and even in some cases more that the computer itself, which is ironic because it is the most unnecessary piece of equipment in a computer...
I�m sorry if I�m acting despite but I really need to know!

Too bad... So Sad.. I hate 56k

It's true that no modems are admitted for Exclusive Beta testing.
It is NOT true that no modems will be in Open Beta. We'll have as many types of bandwidth connections, video cards, CPUs, etc. in the Open Beta...*including* 56K modems.

The game definitely supports modem-play.
