[DEATHMASTER]

got banned from our university network cuz ppl played it so much it brought down the servers 2x within a week. The cables literally got fried.

 

[KagePrototype]

Your uni's network must really suck.

 

[The Brick]

How can a cable burn by network activity? :|

 

[Mutley]

I still want to know why the hell people play that game, the gameplay sucks, the graphics suck and you have to pay monthly. WTF!

 

[<RJMC>]

imagine if kids where near the cables,they would hav died!

someone call jack thompson!

 

[Krynn72]

Why would a game bring down your school's servers?

 

[99.vikram]

These days we play CS:CZ, AoM and NFSMW a lot around here, but with wireless LANs so nothing gets fried..

Their cables' insulation is made of cotton soaked in lighter fluid?

 

[CyberPitz]

Their cables' insulation is made of cotton soaked in lighter fluid?

Even then, I'm sure that's a feat.

 

[Ren.182]

Your uni network must seriously suck if the cable fried. That, or there are a LOT of nerds at your uni.

 

[i am HOLLYWOOD]

I'm thinking that's a bit of an exaggeration. . but i know this kind of thing happened at my friend's college during the Warcraft III days

 

[DEATHMASTER]

2 servers, both pentium 3's.

 

[i am HOLLYWOOD]

oh, well, if they're pentium 3's, i could see them exploding or something from half the dorms running the thing.

 

[Krynn72]

oh, well, if they're pentium 3's, i could see them exploding or something from half the dorms running the thing.

Or if they were just turned on.



BA ZING!

 

[i am HOLLYWOOD]

hahaha this is true.

I remember back when ppl were like "OMG 700MHZ!!! THAT'S TEH AMAZING"

good times, good times.

 

[Baal]

This is all heresay and conjecture anyhow.

I've played WoW on 56k for god sakes and it was playable. Don't tell me a bunch of WoW idiots brought down your school's network.

It was probably just torrents

 

[Acepilotf14]

...I agree with that other guy, what is so popular about WoW? I mean, I played it for a little bit, (Who HASN'T played it?) And it was just kill level up kill with bad quests in between. I prefer playing battlefield 2 for 12 hours a day then WoW for 1 hour.

LOL good / excellent question

 

[giant384]

im curious to how the school came to the conclusion that WoW users caused it. lol it just doesnt seem like it would to me.

 

[Spoonoop]

Haha! Thas awsome. In the internet cafe at my college it's the same deal. Everyone is either playing WoW or on myspace :dozey:

 

[Ren.182]

(Who HASN'T played it?)

Me.

 

[ríomhaire]

[Acepilotf14]

[DEATHMASTER]
