Worst Lag You've Ever Had?

Let's see anytime when I'm in a major city in WoW. In WotLK, it was Dalaran because there was a crap ton of people there. And now thanks to Cataclysm I have to avoid taking a flight path into Orgrimmar because even my ability to go into an elevator and exit it is completely hindered by the fact that my screen refreshes every 10 seconds. Sometimes this lag has gotten so bad that the game decides to either crash to disconnect me from BattleNet.
In addition, sometimes when I'm flying to a point, I have to wait for the town to load all of its objects and stuff. I actually fell through a wooden plank that was supposed to be there when I landed from a flight, which didn't appear until 30 seconds later.

I got over 9000 ping in AssaultCube.
No joke :3
I've also has >22,000 in Unreal Engine games but that's just a bug for when you timeout, it's not a legitimate ping count/

Wait, FLOOR_MASTER was on the same server as you?wehrp3nguin said:

Ragnarok Online.
Here's an average day of when I used to play it:
*Log in.*
*Kill some monsters.*
*click*
...*clickclickclick*
Why can't I move?
Oh! Damn it. Lag again. I'll just wait for it to be over.
*wait patiently*
...WHAT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M DEAD?! GAAAAAAAAH THAT'S NOT FAIR! YOU CAN'T HAVE A BOSS SPAWN AND KILL ME WHILE I'M LAGGING!

And for me it would be a longgggggg time ago on Diablo 2 hardcore. I started rubberbanding on a Baal run and had to start all over in 30 seconds
You don't see the irony in doing that? Wouldn't that just do the same thing to everybody else who is playing the game with you at the time? I just fail to see a true solution to the problem if you're only course of action is to commit the same act that brought you chagrin in the first place.ScoopMeister said:
Huh.
Worst lag I can recall having is playing World of Warcraft on my old DELL desktop. There were times when I would lag so bad I couldn't move my character to a location where it wouldn't lag. In there instances, the game was unplayable. I am extremely grateful for my fancy Macbook Pro.
Quite a large upgrade from that old DELL.
This, only worse. I had a terribly outdated computer back when I played Wrath of the Lich King that my computer couldn't even load the city and let me do anything before it logged me out from being unresponsive for so long.Wierdguy said:
I eventually had to go over to use my friends much better computer just so I could log back in and get the hell out of that city.
I downloaded an HD texture pack for World in Conflict and tried to run it on my laptop, which can't handle the normal game on minimum graphics settings. My framerate was actually less than one.
In online games, I've seen Battlefield: 1942 players with abysmal pings in the 900 range, on servers that don't purge those people. It makes them rather safe from sniping, but they are absolutely not threatening.

1400 ms of lag while playing TF2. On a server no more than 400 Km away. From Canberra, the national capital of Australia. Granted I was at a LAN party and was sharing a single connection with 9 other computers. But still, 1.4 seconds of lag? Fuck playing, fuck even connecting. I couldn't do shit.
Lag on anything multiplayer is the worst. Especially on Killing Floor.
I seem to have the most trouble with that >.>

My connection is schizophrenic. I go anywhere from 100 Ping to over 2000 Ping and everywhere in between in about thirty seconds.Super Toast said:
Attempting to run ePSXe on my old laptop, playing Final Fantasy Tactics. Oh it ran, but it ran even slower than Final Fantasy Tactics. You cannot IMAGINE the pain.
Doom 3 multiplayer.
Enemies would literally teleport 30-50m at a time, bullets would vanish in mid-air, weapons would randomly vanish from the floor...

You guys think you have it bad? It took Jesus 3 days just to respawn!
Well I thought it was funny
Worst I've ever had was in Bulletstorm, though in fairness it was nothing to do with the game. Because the broadband is really oversubscribed in my area the internet can and will cut out without warning. Bloody Richard Branson.

One massive battle in Eve Online, everyone had over five minutes of lag. This is not an exaggeration, there was literally five minutes or more passing between clicking on something and the games responding, if it did at all.
Heh... any lag in games I've ever experienced has been dwarfed and subsequently forgotten due to the memories of my late laptop. Not only did startup take anywhere between 8 and 15 minutes, but if I had the nerve to ask it to open the internet and then ask it to also run MSN and possibly Notepad, I always had time to go do something else, like make a snack or go to the bathroom or something. Playing simple flash games like Bejeweled became unbelievably frustrating when the screen would freeze for up to 10 seconds at a time; I didn't bother trying to play real games.
