Modem Tapping?

[Snakeandy7]

Is there any possible way to prevent people from doing this? It's causing problems on Era aswell as on Unholy Nation.

Wow, thanks for using that term, I just learned something new.

[Snakeandy7]

Do you understand what I mean?

When you "Modem Tap", you usually pull the Ethernet Cord from you DSL/Cable/Router, and it allows you freedom to move for 5-10 seconds, then once you "reconnect" to the server (eg, modem picks back up and sends the data packets), you just warped around the room and managed to avoid death, heal, then kill everybody.

It's really annoying on Era, but REALLY annoying on Graal Kingdoms. -_-'

There really isn't a way to stop it, it's simular to lag, just a delay in the receiving/sending data packets... I guess you'll have to live with it. Enforce rules against it, etc.

You're using the incorrect term, but you help me stumble upon something very interesting

My modem is on another floor :/

You're kidding me... people actually pull out their modem cable?

[Evil_Trunks]

yes, this was a very common practice on era, before the serverside hit detection was added

it is also common on UN

i have also heard it described as "putting tinfoil over my wireless router"

This isnt just used for graal, its also used to speed up a ****ty computer especially for downloading and uploading.

It works on Era now. People can kill people in 1 hit because of it :[

And then people with lousy connections would also be banned.

Is that the thing people do to change the images of their shields, helms, etc on Kingdoms?

They must be really bad at PKing if they depend on "Modem Tapping."

Or they just really want to kill the other person with the minimum ammount of effort...? Just because they abuse something to kill doesn't mean they suck, they could be lazy.
