Been playing for years with few problems if ever. Heard a lot of people complain about crippling lag and mapserves recently, but it hadn't hit me much at all. Then sometime last week I started getting spikes of lost/retransmitted packets a minute or two after zoning...every time. Long stretches of 1-2 inches of red+yellow spikes on netgraph. Definitely not my connection, as everything else is completely fine and everything has been rebooted and re-checked multiple times.
Tonight I poked around the forums to see if there were any solutions, as it hit particularly hard tonight making the game totally unplayable. Saw someone mention /neterrorcorrection command and decided to try that. Did not really do much of anything, so shut it off.
Now, however, I can no longer even log into the game.
Well, untrue...I can log into the game just fine but I mapserve *immediately* and get dropped from the server. Tried at least two Guardian and Virtue. Both same result: mapserve and drop from server as soon as I log in. What can I possibly do now?
Edit: For the sake of completion, I tried one of my chars on one of the least-populated servers (literal ghost-town) Infinity. I was able to log in just fine albeit with a stretch of red+yellow at login.
Editx2: Been on Infinity with netgraph up for a few minutes now, nothing but a nice field of green. High-pop servers are just not standing up to the stress it seems. I am geographically quite far away, and I have to wonder if maybe those of us not in the USA are suffering due to the latency involved...the servers are not coping and just dropping those of us who aren't quick to respond.
