Hi Lochnar,
You know, if I hadn't read this
True, they're still in a huge developing period and constantly streaming data on the users pc, but that's their overall concept of patching anyway, so if that doesn't improve quite a bit, I foresee dark times for dial-up users.

Quote: Will I be able to play Guild Wars on a dial-up modem?before (from the Guild Wars FAQ), I wouldn't have been so disappointed. You know, I have DSL, well, actually sometimes just 1/4 of it, but that's still 192kBit/s or 24kByte/s at least, mostly I have a lot more (depending on how many of my three co-DSL-users hang on the pipe at the moment). So that shouldn't be an issue.
Yes you will. We are well aware that many users do not have broadband access, and we want the largest possible number of gamers to be able to join our game without being held back by technical issues like their Internet connection. We have designed Guild Wars to function excellently on a dial-up connection and our alpha testers confirm they have no problems with their connection, even testing from other continents.
