I didnt play any of new non-targetting MMORPG's, and even dont have any to test.
So i wonder. What exactly protocol they use ?

Reliable UDP or pure TCP ?

Because i know that for example many targetting MMORPGs used pure TCP: for example WoW and Lineage 2,
so what new games (for example TERA) use for NON-targetting networking model ?

Depends on the game, most likely. Do you have any specific titles in mind?

More interesting for me is TERA, because there is as i know fully non-target system.
Thats easy to detect: when you play TERA just watch your firewall and detect what exactly TERA uses (inside game, not launcher or smth):
1) Only TCP
2) TCP and also UDP
3) Only UDP (reliable UDP)

You can easily answer this question yourself for about $35:

1) Buy the game.
2) Install the game.
3) Use Wireshark to see what packets the game sends.

My point is: it's not a joke. If this question is important enough to you that you want to request the time of a number of strangers on the internet, why is it not important enough to spend $35? It may be that you literally don't have $35 to spend, and that's a reasonable answer, but you should not discount the obvious, direct solutions out of hand!
