I've been playing on a 56k for months and the two things I have noticed that might interest you are that:
1. You will disconnect every now and then, and
2. Some services are better than others as far as lag is concerned. On the second point, I give an example: I used connect using AOL, but I used to get lag all over the place, but after switching to NetZero High Speed, (which costs half as much, but requires a v92 ready modem for the high speed dialup), I only get lag in 3 places. These are: all of West Rounfare, the forested west side of East Rounfare, and on the bridge from the auction house to the residential district in Windurst Woods. I hope this helps you out.
