[quote=Flexography]Played maplestory on 3 laptops (one of which was from the year 2000 or 2001) within the last 12 months, and I've never gotten town lag.[/quote]

Laptops have a higher rate to suffer from town lag. That is all. It has to do with the integrated chip sets involved in them.

Also I've played on a laptop without integrated chipsets and there was still town lag. (from 2010 with a 330m gt card)
Again comes down to optimization. Some cards run it well some don't. (most int chipsets don't) But not everyone can afford a new card just for maple.

I would like to point out that that isn't quite right. I have both a desktop PC and a laptop, yet I only have town lag when playing on my desktop PC (and not my laptop).

[quote=Flexography]If you can't afford a new computer, you probably can't afford to be playing maplestory in the first place...[/quote] well that and most cheap standard laptops don't even really get town lag unless your running on a dinosaur of a computer.

I don't get the argument you're trying to make. I've been playing this game for a long time no and I've yet to spend a dime on it.[/quote]

Yeah, but at the moment you're pretty much limited to what you can do. It's not like killing CZak or normal RA is all that fun.

Also, she's so wrong about better computers. It's the way maple is optimized. If you don't have a specific card or if you play on laptop then you're screwed.

Supposedly running on a GTX 560 with a quad core processor with a 7+ megabit connection is not enough for maplestory but playing Black ops 2 maxed out is? better computer my butt

[quote=xxsetokidxx]Well, since all the town-lagger are ALL GOING TO BE IN ONE MAP... looks like handing a quest in won't be so easy[/quote]

I sure hope we can hand in the quests from the left side of our screen, or else that really is going to be a hassle.

@Flexography:

Can't afford to be playing a free to play game? What..

Even people with better computers experienced the lag. Plus who would get a better computer for a free to play game?
