Everquest in the early days had no parametric events, so every time you're in the faggy elf city and there are people riding up the elevator to the treetop forest, the elevator has to retransmit its coordinates with each new world update - prediction was only for players.

It was kind of funny watching the elevator, just by itself, stuttering up and down as each new world-positional coordinate was transmitted. Even funnier was watching it literally HOP several feet each few frames if, say, 30 players got on it at once.

The guys at 989 bragged in interview after interview about how great their netcode was, too - I read with anticipation, and when I saw that behavior I started laughing because I had started reading up on parametric events at age 17.

Take out the word "faggy" and this reads just like TDARCOS. Poor SB.
