Constant mapserving 9-23-09

I'd log this in-game, but I can't stay in long enough to finish a sentence without being mapserved, so it's going here.

Normally I'd just shrug off the mapserves as they come and go, it seems, but things were a bit weird tonight. When I finally got kicked off and back to the log-in screen, the pop-up box that normally says "lost connection to mapserver" or other message, was completely empty except for the OK button. Then, on the character select screen, the box that popped up saying the store was offline would occasionally be empty as well.

I was also getting half a box of text when zoning into missions for the first time. The text looked like it was shifted up, as I was only getting the tail end of the text. This happened on every mish I was able to run, even the side mishes of the Atlas safeguard. I was able to log this particular bug in-game.

Anyone else experiencing this? This is just for curiosity more than anything.

I was on Champion, heroside, around 9pm central time while this was occuring. Was also getting some wicked rubberbanding occasionally.

When HASN'T it happened for me?

A good question to ask is where you are during this. Are you near Wentworth's or AE? If you're in Atlas Park and heading towards City Hall, is there a costume contest going on? Is there a Rikti Invasion or a Zombie Apocalypse?

A quick way for me to get mapservered out of play is to simply go to Wentworth's while five or six idiots are running every buff and debuff power they have in a continual loop ('cuz it looks so kewl!) while you're just trying to sell some of your salvage. And you'd like to do something that would violate our little online code of conduct, but by the time you finish typing in "PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR FRAGGING BUFFS!" you're back at the login screen.

So any of that going on for you?

Had really bad lag last night on Virtue. Netgraph was blocks and spikes of yellow. Never mapserved tho, but was waiting for that to happen.
