Lower standards I guess. I played on Bristlebane, or Bristlebroke, as it crashed multiple times a night for at least a month every time a new expansion came out. Link Death was by far the most common way to die, if not by the resulting trains when the rest of another party's members fled to zone out when their tank lost connection. It kept things interesting :) Raids on dial-up, how did that even work at all.

Yeah, I was so hooked on MMO's back in the day that I forgot all of the connection probelms.  Although even after I switched to broadband I still had some connection problems, just less frequently.  I played Final Fantasy XI the most, and I definitely started it after I got broadband and remember still disconnecting semi-frequently.  I think the problem was on the server side more often than my own.

Ha, it actually worked better than my early experiences with xbox live on cable internet. 3 out of 4 races in TDU resulted in getting disconnected before the race started. In PGR I couldn't hear half of my friends during the race, yet in the menu we could all talk (with echos). Now in 2017, still getting disconnected occasionally while playing GT Sport online. It's only 1 out of 50 nowadays, but still happens.
