None of the items that my Warlock had, that added to the distance of teleports, ever reported the additional distance for example.The problem with having the online CB run reliably, on even a brand new computer, is that there's a mode of data transfer involved that is out of the control of both parties; provider and user. Internet routing can get pretty funky, at times, with the occasional hop from Seattle to Omaha arriving by way of Istanbul.And there's server loading, as I've said before, which is not within the control of the user. No matter how clean and fast your computer is, you can only run as fast as the data comes in.With an offline programme, you are in relative control of the user experience. You can troubleshoot why things behave the way that they do. You can rule out reasons for inconsistent behaviour, as they generally involve interaction with other software. We no longer have this ability.</blockquote>
