I noticed the other day that I was having more lag problems than usual. What was weird was, I was in a zone that not too many people were in: East Altepa Desert. Macros were slow, movement was slow, typical stuff that, after a while, it irritates the crap out of you.
Meanwhile, I was looking at the S/R icon in the upper right of my screen and I didn't really seem to be having any connection problems. So I thought "What the hell is going on?" I wasn't even on for 3hrs or so. Well, I figured I'd log off and look at my PS2.
Well, it looked like it had been in storage for about 3 years. Hmm I said. So I went about trying to get the dust out of it. I even toook out the HDD and dusted that. All the while I was being careful not to ***** anything up.
Anyway, after I was happy in the way it looked, I tried it out to see if I had done anything. Well, it worked quite well. I was impressed with the way it worked. I mean it really seemed to make a big difference. So, if you're having lag problems and you have no idea why, try dusting out your PS2. lol I did and it worked for me.
