Have You Eeen Dropped From Playing A Video Game Online?

[Lucy Lu]

Hi guys. I am curious about something again. I am asking this because I am thinking about getting Mario Kart Wii. And one of those days I would love to play with someone online. But I heard that if your Internet connection is messed up or not working one day...you could get dropped. And then I heard you could lose points because you left the game without warning. I think it isn't fair at all. It isn't your fault that your Internet connection is messed up for a few minutes. And then the person you played with will think you chickened out. Which isn't the case. I am so afraid that is going to happen to me. I don't want to get a bad reputation. That isn't right.

But I guess that is how it works. So I am kinda of scared. I have a feeling that I don't want to play online. My connection is good, but sometimes for a few minutes it won't work. Like I have to restart my computer sometimes because it is unable connect. It is annoying.

So has this happen to you? Has it happened to you while you played a game on PS3, XBOX 360, and Wii? How did you handle it? I really want to know so I can be calm about it. Because right now I am kinda of scared. So yeah tell me your thoughts guys. Thanks.

Out of the 1700 online matches, I think its happened 3 times (one was a power outage) to me. and my internet is slow T_T (718kbs)

Its not a problem really, it happens once in a while, but that's it.

Well at least it didn't happen to you all the time. I feel bad for people who gets their Internet cut off sometimes often. If only for a few minutes. They are playing a game online...oh man. That isn't good. I hope it doesn't happen to me.
