Time to time, generally about this time, the server connection becomes very unstable, constant drops outs, lag spikes as long as five minutes (why the hell is the drop out timer so long?), failure to load and numerous other issues. Now I know for a fact it's not my internet as that performs fine at every other task, and I know that it's not server wide, as friends of mine are suffering from no issues what so ever.
Thus I'm here asking as to what's causing it, and if it may be from the region with which I play (Australia), or just communication issues between my provider and the host. Thus I ask my fellow Australian gamers, if this issue occurs to you also? If not, what are my solutions? Because these issues completely inhibit my ability to play the game.
This happens to me as well, and I'm in the US. Sometimes, especially when going down elevators, it'll lag forever and just stops doing anything it seems. Even waiting sometimes doesn't make anything move. I tested my internet connection on the ping-test the wiki links and it says my internet is very good, so I shouldn't be having these lag problems. It's kind of ridiculous that I waste so much energy trying to just do one dungeon because of all this lag. I've had numerous friends who also lag on the elevators among other things, so I really think it is something with the game rather than the internet of the people playing.
