DJ, I'm sure that Starcraft is still one of the most popular online games out there. Easily. Oh there are games more popular than it but you suggest that it's lost a lot of popularity when if you go online you'll see how it's still one of the top multiplayer gaming titles on the net, I think...
GR, I've played SC extensively for years and years on dialup. Lag? Infrequently. If you're in a 8-player game, okay, maybe. But you'd be surprised at how stable SC is... remember it came out in 1998. I think I was on 33.6 when I first played it online... :)
As for WC3, I played it some on dialup. I was quite surprised to see how it was almost completely lag-free it was in 1v1 onilne games. More players well might bring some lag, but it never gets anywhere close to unplayable...
Now if it's FPSes you're playing, it's obviously a whole different story. But these aren't FPSes. :)
