1. Frame/Sec (fps. frames per second
This is the how many times the screen is redrawn in one second. It is displayed as a bar graph in the above screen. The fps performance will be lowered when the objects are destroyed or during fast action. It’s recommended that you keep the bar at blue while your character is in the town.
From the Vindi site:
The lower your bars, the less frames you see per second.
Wrong bar.
He's talking about the bars of varying lengths in ascending order in the party status window on the left hand side of the screen.
Best -> Worst
Blue - Green - Yellow - Orange - Red
The amount of bars seems to be connection status, while color seems to be latency.

That was my first thought as well but experience tells me otherwise. I had some issues with my own connection where I was getting 2-4Mb/s down instead of the usual 8Mb/s. Normally things would still be playable at those speeds but my latency went through the roof (250ms+). During that time, trying to play Vindictus - I'd get one bar (when joining someone else's boat). If you are correct I think I would have gotten more bars but they would have been red.
You may very well be correct, it just doesn't quite add up based on that experience. I'll have him do some pinging this evening to check latency.
Let this thread just be connections we've noticed, before we draw any conclusions.
Such as how on my slower computer, I have a 4 bar connection as a host, but when on a faster computer it's 5 bars for me, (And usually most of my party, but that's likely my connection.)
