Okay my friend I think is dumb. He said when he Played Starwars Galaxies with High Settings everyone told him to turn it off because it would cause server lag and make everyone lag. I told him that Graphics have nothing to do with servers that is why you download 20gb files of the game on your computer because all of that stuff is done by your computer. So do graphics effect/affect the servers?

Yeah he is full of it. The server basically "binds" the clients together by keeping track of the players and objects
as well as do some calculations. It may serve some graphic objects but for the most part the client does all the rendering and graphics settings should have nearly no effect on the servers

MY friend says yeah with new games but not sure about with old games still going to look into that. He thinks that in old games like Star Wars that he played that Graphical settings make the server lag.
