    Although we still have this problem it's awesome to somewhat get to the bottom of it - Verizon Fios & servers in the NE.

    Let's hope it gets sorted out soon - I called Verizon earlier but I had to speak my answers to an automated woman..very annoying =)

    Thank you Sominator!

    On hold with Verizon now - we'll see how it goes. My guess, they will have no idea as to the issue I'm talking about.

    He had no idea - lol but was helpful and friendly.

    A quick update: I went to my sister's house who lives about 5 minutes away and has Verizon Fios also. I downloaded the CrypticNetTest and ran it from her house. Low and behold her Ping was 98ms and the first column had a few numbers in the high hundreds and 200's. At my house it just times out.

    I am able to use wifi-tether from my cell phone and that passes the CrypticNetTest with flying colors...how much data you think I'd eat through? I know it's not a viable solution =)

    How sad is it that you can get a better connection with your wi-fi/cell phone than the FIBER OPTIC CABLE TO YOUR HOUSE? lol

    I have to laugh because otherwise I'd cry. I can barely set my profession tasks though my browser at this point.

    like I said before "ARC is ***"

    ARC went live on STO yesterday, with all new accounts required to use it, and old accounts not yet required to use it.....

    ARC is lagging the Cryptic games.

    Set professions on your cell phone if possible, use two cans and a string - lots of other options out there =)

    What is this ARC nonsense? It sounds like some futuristic machine that is meant to improve the quality of human life, but will only destroy it.

    . . . . . The ARC is formerly known as CORE Connect. It is Perfect World Entertainment's delivery and community system for their games. Think of it like Steam, but with only free to play games from a specific company. With PWE acquiring Cryptic, it was only a matter of time until they started porting the Cryptic MMOs into it also.

    I've been having issues all evening with disconnects and "server not responding". Over the last day or two it had begun to lag a bit as well. Hopefully there's something in tomorrow's patch to fix this.

    I have had this problem for the longest time however it always happens at night for me. (central timezone) Since the last four months I never logged in at night because this was always there.

    Anyone else experience these problems around the same time?

    . . . . . This reminds me of some issues on some ISPs (won't name names) over in Europe that would throttle their users that played specific MMOs during a certain time period, causing severe lag and un-playability to those users during prime-time. Just peeking at World News Headlines, it still seems European ISP Throttling is still a topic over there. I hope that is not what is happening here in the States with ATT/Verizon. Hopefully one (or all) of the parties involved will resolve the issue as soon as possible.

    I just hooked up my Comcast and I am still getting server not responding.

    Ironically this glitch happened on the same day I switched from Verizon FioS back to Comcast and i get problems on both connections.

    From what I can tell and I'm not saying we have near enough evidence to determine what the exact cause might be, but this seems to be happening to people with Fios, ATT,Comcast and Roadrunner from what I've read. If I missed an ISP sorry. The one common factor that everyone shares is....Cryptic. Everyone who is having an ISP related issue only seems to have it when playing a Cryptic game. If ISP's were throttling (GRRrrrr) I'd imagine that they would see similar performance issues on other online games, streaming and what not. In another thread folks playing STO are having similar issues. I'm not expert on network traffic and I'm just speculating and trying to keep busy.

    On the plus side...I have started to layout my foundry quest on pen and paper during the downtime. Hopefully, I can start making it soon =) Good luck to us all!

    For no apparent reason I was able to play late night/early morning, whereas at the same time yesterday the lag was deadly.

    Why? No idea. I did nothing on my end. (I was pretty much convinced it had nothing to do with my computer.)

    Now the question is... will it last?

    I am also having horrible lag. It has been so bad that I have had to log off from the game several times due to server not responding and massive rubberbanding. For reference, I am in the New England area and use FiOS.

    If you are using Verizon or AT&T as a Service Provider it is a known issue and they are looking into the causes and solutions for the problem.
