Dude, I’m not from EU or US and I’m having to play on EU because it’s the nearest. And I’m getting 200ms at best. Now, think how much latency someone from space will be getting.
buddy
space is not a friendly place.
just forget about mars.
who wona travel 6 mons to planet full of radiation and no air for us people to live
our tehnology is crap.
we cant build citys on antartica and we ar going on mars
musk is cool guy and mars whit humans yeah maybe
in like 100years in future.
If you told someone 1 thousand years ago that we’d have flying ships ( air planes ) and can talk to each other from village to village they’d call you insane.
At this point anything can happen, we may aswell discover ways to use magic, body enhancements and teleportation, or we may reach a point were we go back to horses swords and castles, imo one of the outcomes can happen.
We might play Wow in space or we might lose connection and never be able to play Wow again ( pls no ![:frowning:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=6" ":frowning:")
).
But looking at certainties, next year might be huge in terms of connection with the upcoming 5G technology and soon the development of better ways to deploy the internet.
Some years ago I got VR as a gift on my phone, it was crappy as hell and you could see the pixels, fast forward to now the HUGE amount of leap in terms of technology that happened just via software updates is insane.
if the same pace is kept, we might be using Full dive gaming pretty soon with how some VR experiments are having body stimulations where if you touch something in game you controller tries to imitate this feeling on your own hand.
Can’t beat fiber optics.
By then everyone plays wow VR! Though I think space will be only for rich ppl
If someone was theoretically on the Moon and you were on Earth, you would have an average lag of more than 2 seconds (1000 ms) generated exclusively by the distance alone (the Moon orbit is located at aprox. 384000 km from Earth, or more than one light second, so a Moon-Earth-Moon signal would need to travel that distance twice). The farther from Earth your position would be, the higher the lag - for example, someone who would be on the surface of Mars would be at least 55 million km away at the closest approach, and would have a 3 minute lag to Earth and another 3 minutes for the signal to reach back.
The second problem is that of signal strength and signal decay, which is far more complicated.
TL;DR - you won’t be able to play online games from space together with people on Earth unless we invent faster than light communications.
Don’t have access to fiber optics
It’d also be an expensive trip back for Blizzcon each year, I’d hope you can also pick up the virtual ticket on Mars too!

Most hi tech inventions are based on tech decades old. There’s been no new particularity revolutionary discoveries in decades.
They said similar things about 3g and 4g. It’s mostly marketing hype.
The funny thing. Where I live in the UK they laid fibre optic cables about 20-25 years ago and they give much, much faster internet speeds than the new cables laid by the the phone company and they call them ultrafast broadband!
