People hate me for posting this over and over, but damnit, there's just nothing better to say until you bother to provide more information. And seriously, there's a much better chance that the issue is either on your end, or somewhere between you and the servers. Unfortunately, that can't be determined until you give us something to work with.

Common reasons that you can't connect to the servers, experience disconnects, or just have lag in general...

1. You don't have the three .exe files for the client set to run as administrator.
2. You don't have the game directory set as an exception in your antivirus/security software. (Especially with Norton360 or MSE)
3. Your network adapter driver is out of date and needs to be refreshed.
4. Your local area network settings are improperly configured.
5. You have more than one firewall and don't realize it. (Common with some modems.)
6. Your firewall settings are too strict. (Very common withNorton360, ZoneAlarm, and Commodo firewall.)
7. Your router is configured improperly. (Or it's just a cheap router that can't handle the traffic you're putting on it.)
8. you have a bad network cable.
9. You're using a wireless network connection. (Which leads to another huge list of possible issues.)
10. You have a lot of traffic on your local network that is bogging your router/modem down.
11. There's a fault in your router.
12. There's a fault in your modem.
13, You have a bad phone cord plugged into your modem.
14. There's an issue with your house wiring.
15. There's an issue with your outside wiring.
16. A squirrel chewed on your phone/cable line at the pole and it's raining. (I have personally had this happen.)
17. A switch/router at the CO for your ISP is having an issue.
18. One of the many hubs between you and PWI is having an issue. (Most common)
19. There is heavy sunspot activity. (Has happened within the past two years)
20. There's a regional router outage. (This has happened more than a few times. More often occurs with trunk lines crossing large bodies of water)

That's just a few. Sometimes, the easiest fix is something like shutting down your Modem/Router/PC for three minutes and then bringing them back up. Unfortunately, all you've done is complain about having high latency. You haven't done anything that might lead someone who can help you, to be able to help you resolve the issue you're having.
The more details you give, the better I can narrow it down and tell you what the issue is.

At an absolute minimum I would need a copy of a traceroute to the server, and detailed information about how your local network is configured. In some cases, even a published Speccy log.

You don't have to be a tech wiz to provide any of this information either. You just need to be able to click the links I provided and to read and comprehend/follow instructions. I can understand you're frustrated, but sitting and complaining about a connection, without actually ever attempting to fix it, or provide information for those that can help you fix it, it probably one of the stupidest things you can do. If you feel offended by this statement, then you really need to take a closer look at reality.

As much as I appreciated Sylen's copy pasta of the same post;
Dreamweaver has been experiencing mass dc's and lag since yesterday.

Seems kind of unlikely that it's on the player end while the entire server is having trouble.

Server is probably just having hicups... again...

Besides that, people who play with the same kind of setup (network and software related) suddenly getting lag out of nowhere are highly unlikely to have any use for those steps, since in most cases that I experienced when helping people with it, it always ended up resulting in part 18, which we can't troubleshoot anyway.

Pretty much what it comes down to atm with the lag and dc's on dreamweaver:
coop with it, it'll pass away again. There's nothing to be done about it and it's almost weekend, so engineers are unlikely to do a thing during the weekend anyway. If they'd even do anything for this in the first place at the moment.

When the server or PWE's ISP hiccups though, you'll see several threads started about it, both in this forum, and over in Tech Support.

If it's just one or two people posting about it, there's a pretty good chance it's not the server or PWE's ISP. It's much more likely a localized issue, or a regional router.

You would be surprised at how many people connect to the East coast servers from Europe, or Africa that don't understand how much their connection can be affected by that trunk line across the Atlantic and the associated distribution hubs on either end.

The servers aren't as fast as they used to be. Just over a year ago I noticed the server ping has gone to **** I used to get 90-100ish range now it's 300-400+ range. Hell even the website has been having issues this is the second time I had to type this because the first time got an error because the website wouldn't load it. I would like to add in that time I played other MMO's and all those servers were on the west coast same as HT on here. I never had ping issues on those games.

there would actually have to be people playing this game and not everyone having 8 alts lvl 100+ sitting around, not at the comp.

I rather blame the servers, its always has got to be the servers, other US server mmorpg has better ping rate than PWI
