UO Second Age

Im wondering whats the secret behind skipping tiles while walking on a horse? I see alot of pvpers doing this, and I also remember seeing it on OSI.

Another thing is, how do certain people close distance so fast in a chase? Mount vs Mount they can close distance within seconds, sometimes even run circles around people.

Is ping really making that big of a difference here? Is Gear back from the dead? What's really going on?

a lot of times, it's ping.

Could be ping, could be your own machine holding you back (if you have music enabled, sometimes there is a sec delay for new music to kick in, causing you to lag.) Or if your computer has to load new incoming graphics, more lag can be expected.

Or... teleport rings/cutting corners/path prediction (I know there is a dead end ahead, you'll prob turn left, etc.)

All I can say is thank goodness for cable connections. I maybe playing back on dial-up.... horrid experiences with lag especially at Brit Bank.
