I live in the UK and have DSL 512k with one of the best ISPs in my country.
Lately my lag in prime time (6-10pm GMT) on RK1 has been horrendous. It has become so unstable in the evenings that it is unplayable. Sometimes it can take 20 seconds plus to open a backpack in Tir.
Now I play a few other games online as well as surfing and d/l large files etc and my connection is fine in all other areas. So is the bad connection Funcom server side or is there possibly some other problem I don't know about?
Also I like to find teams in Tir but the lag is getting unbearable there in prime time. You may use the argument that I should go elsewhere but I don't want to. I want to play a MMORPG to mix with lots of people, and that means lots of people will always group into small areas to meet and chat before they team. Is this a problem that could be solved by a server upgrade by Funcom?
During the day I have a steady ping of 120, in the evenings I have a variable ping of 120 - 20000+
Are these problems Funcoms fault in any way and if so are Funcom doing anything about it?
