This doesn't really matter on Zodiac so it's no wonder no one cares. Also probably why everyone there is so skippy compared to players on UN, makes melee fighting worse.

Actually, it should have relatively the same effect no matter what movement system a server is using. It happens because of network lag with TCP, so the players location might not get sent until microseconds (or even seconds) later.
UDP honestly should be the default, it's generally the standard in online games. Though it doesn't guarantee a packet will make it to it's destination, it is plenty faster than TCP. The issues between two users who are using different protocols (sometimes a TCP user may not see a UDP user) is probably in how that's handled in the client, which, to be fair, is probably difficult because you wouldn't generally have users using different protocols (nor should you). |
