Programs connected to the internet have alot of data flow. Everytime you move, a packet is sent out.
and you constantly receive packets from the server. Your internet can only handle so many packets being sent. Because your server sends packets to everyone on the game, you can imagine it is pretty hard on your internet. Add that to an online game, also sending stuff, and your internet is almost dial-up speed(horrible I know.....) But a single player game wont slow down unless your low on RAM
