swarner · 12-30-2006, 07:56 PM

Okay i got two gaming comps in my house and was wondering if i could play WoW on both of them sinultaneously on the one shared internet connection or would i need two seperate internet lines from my ISP?

Thanks in advance!!

So long as you have the network hardware, meet the minimum specifications on both PCs & have two WoW accounts, yeah.

Although using the same line it may lag depending on your internet conenction.

I've seen 4 play at the same time on an 8Mbps/384Kbps cable line with no lag.

I tried it on 2 Mbps tho..... not so good :)

when i first started playing wow my friend had 2 pc's playing wow at once without lag.

when the 3rd one logged in the lag started.

when the 4th logged in it was basically a trial to see who would crack under the lag pressure first.

WoW's servers try to balance the speed to make it as though every player is on a decent 56kbps line. Most broadband connections surpass 56kbps (unless you've got DSL in San Antonio...) so you ought to be fine.
