Question from Newbie

[Khan]

I just got PSO on Friday. I've been online a few times and so far it's been a great experience. But earlier today, I saw something really funny/strange. There was a guy in the lobby and he was walking into the center of the reception booth where the woman is standing for you to join a game. After reading the thing about going through walls, I don't think that was it because we don't have weapons in there (at least I don't remember if you can). Someone please tell me how this guy got back there.

Well.. it might have to do with what server you're on to begin with. The American servers are in California, and what with Cali's blackouts the servers are a little flakey. It's quite possible that the poor sod who wound up behind the counter wound up there through lag.



In effect, when he moved on his console, he thought he was going around the bend.. The server took it as a command to place him through the counter and when the server & console caught back up, well.. he was high & dry.



Stupid Lag Tricks. I've seen simliar things happen before on other games.
