I'm new here (Tiax is my other character). Hi,
everybody.
No, Darkstar. Slower connections don't have a reduced need for packets.
They have a reduced capacity to move those packets (and that's why they are considered
"slow").
I have a basic understanding of packet switching and would be happy to
explain what I can. But it's far too dull and long-winded to discuss here. Contact me in
game if you want.
I will say this though. "Slower" connections will cause some lag
for sure. There's just no getting around that. How much the server is slowed down is hard
to say.
