| Jun 20 at 17:25 | comment | added | Chthonic One | As far as the frame of reference to the question, I admit I don't directly answer that. I just sometimes feel that people ask the wrong question, when another question would solve their problem a lot more easily. The OP can consider this a chance to rephrase their question if this in fact is a good solution to their friends actual problem. | |
| Jun 20 at 17:21 | comment | added | Chthonic One | Timmy Jim- I tanked heroic Lich King raids in WoW without losing agro with > 18000 ms latency during times when the internet was really spotty and my party never realized I had issues. It was nail biting for me, but for Runescape the game is even more forgiving it looks. You most certainly don't need 100ms for that game. | |
| Jun 20 at 13:57 | comment | added | VLAZ | @Questor I'm far more likely to land here after searching for "play Runescape offline" than "my oversees friend in military needs runescape offline" | |
| Jun 20 at 13:55 | comment | added | Questor | @VLAZ Is it though? The meat of the question is "My friend works for the military and wants to play Runescape while deployed overseas."... this answer "you probably can because runescape doesn't require good internet" answers the meat of the quesion... so it isn't even really a frame challenge. | |
| Jun 20 at 7:24 | comment | added | VLAZ | @Yksisarvinen it's a terrible XY solution, though. If I wanted to play Runscape single player, then telling me I don't have to does not actually help me. | |

| Jun 19 at 15:34 | comment | added | Edward | Runescape is almost like a fast turn-based game with its 600ms game ticks. For most activities, it's very forgiving for high-latency connections. I used to play with people from Venezuela, Pakistan, and other countries not known for their stellar broadband connections. As long as the connection doesn't drop entirely, it's mostly fine. | |
| Jun 19 at 12:59 | comment | added | Yksisarvinen | @Cherona It's a frame challenge really, this answer says "you have an XY problem, your friend doesn't actually need to play singleplayer". I'd say it's reasonable enough in this case. | |
