Game creators should have the option to set a max ping to their games, at which a person will be kicked. In many games, such as FPS games, lag can be a real problem and completely ruin the game for people. This includes people who both have the high ping and people who are unfortunate enough to run into them. Of course, this would be optional, so games that don't need this ping kick wouldn't have it. In addition, creators of games would be able to set their games to kick at any ping they wanted.
By the way, for those who don't know what ping is, it is a measurement of someone's connection speed. It is measured in milliseconds, so a lower ping means a faster connection. 100 ping is .1 seconds of lag, while 1000 ping is 1 second of lag. |

Lol of course the user causes the lag and not the geographical nature of the server......
Don't suggest horrible things like this unless you actually understand what you're talking about. :-l |

I don't think it would be fair for the people who lag quite a bit, but can still play the game but they can't because this idea was added? No support.

| Mario, you clearly don't understand what I'm talking about. I never said that the player causes the server to lag, I said that players with lag often cause serious problems. If a player shoots someone with lag in an FPS game, it could take a while for that laggy player's computer to receive the message, and therefore allowing the player time to kill the enemy, even if the laggy player should already be dead. |

| @Strong. Yes, that's true, it would be unfair for people who lag quite a bit, but it's also unfair for everyone else on the game who has to deal with them. Also, not every game would have this optional ping kick, just ones that need it, like FPS games. Plus, the creator could set the ping at whatever they wanted, so if they felt that they were losing the audience of their game that was only somewhat laggy (at let's say 200 ping), then they could set their game to kick at 500 ping, because they wouldn't want to lose a lot of the visitors. |

| Mario, I could tell you were being sarcastic. I stated why a player's lag doesn't make the server lag, but still negatively affects the server. Obviously, some lag comes from the server, but still, people who do lag cause harm. |

| MrPhelps, if your computer lags, that won't change anything when it comes to how other player see you. If your internet lags, that will. Still, even if it's not your fault that you lag, it's unfair to anyone else playing the game. |

No support. People would set it to something like 300 and only people with fast cpu's could play. |

| That would be their loss, less people would visit the game. All I'm asking for is the option to put in this feature, if someone wanted to ping kick, they could just script some sort of system for it. But why go through all that trouble with a feature that should already be in the game? |

| People who lag should still be allowed to play. This isn't fair, what if those beat the obby for robux things had the limit at 100 so they would get visit tix but be kicked 10 seconds after they joined. This is in no way fair and if it were added it would cause an outrage. |

Like I said, it's optional. An obby game wouldn't have a ping kick, it would be completely pointless. Also, what's keeping games from having a sign saying that they feature a ping kick? That way, you could see that a game has a ping kick before paying for access.
Also, it would not cause an outrage. Most games probably wouldn't even feature a ping kick. This is a similar claim as the paid access one. Remember when people were going crazy like "omg nbc people wont be able to play any games because theyll all be paid access!!!111111"? Yeah, that didn't happen. |

| He means that if they made it 100, then people would be kicked and try to rejoin, giving place visit TIX |

So I should never be able to play any good games on roblox again? I seem to have bad internet... It's not fair if this happens... Random people will not be able to play if even it goes 1 ping over for a billionth of a second. This is the type of update that would make many quit. My daily average ping would probably top 2000 :/ |
