No it''s not. I used to play Asheron''s Call with ~1s lag. I live in Australia, and at the time, I only have a 56K connection. It was still playable, though rather laggy (but not detrementally so - sometimes I''d click on a monster, but someone had already killed it, etc).

If you work your game mechanics right, large amounts of lag shouldn''t be that big a deal.

If I had my way, I''d have all of you shot!

Player will shoot each other,
so lag is worse here than when clicking on a monster
