Playing on a Mobile Broadband card

Hi guys,

I was hoping that someone here might be able to help me out. This is my first MMORPG and I was wondering if I would be safe playing this on a Mobile Broadband card? I'm not really worried about the speed of the connection, besides I can just launch the game and find out about that, no I'm worried about the amount of data that will transfered between the server and my computer. My plan for the aircard only covers 5GB of data a month and my initial thoughts were that the game would chew up this limit and spit it out before I was done with breakfast. So if anybody knows for sure for how long I could play the game and stay under my 5GB limit I'd be greatful to them.

Thanks in advance,

    what is your broadband speed?

    also who do you get it from?

    3g 4g , or is it older?


    also it is safe to use, but so just try it out, but do not patch on it.

    I play using an internet dongle sometimes. The connection may drop of every now and then, but if you don't mind the "Sever Not Responding" message popping up now and then, that's not much of a problem.

    I usually play 8 hours at a time and reach around half a GB downloaded. So, depending on how often and how long your planning on playing a month, you should be alright for a couple weeks, maybe more before you reach your limit.
