You should read this.

Then you wouldn't make a stupid statement like this...

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 Your network adapter driver is out of date and needs to be refreshed.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.

SweetieBot can you report server status?

Your path to Archosar, to Teamspeak, and to other games, will not be the same as the path to the Morai server. Something in your path to Morai is having a problem. Usually it's a regional router. If you had bothered to read what I posted, or the other thread I linked, you might understand that. Instead, you're just making silly statements again.

I'm not saying it's their connection. I'm saying it's most likely a regional router. You should actually read what I posted.
Then maybe you wouldn't be making silly statements too.

Run a traceroute.

I'd be willing to bet the others with the issues are hitting the same regional router that's dropping your packets.

Ping won't tell you diddly.

Here, just for kicks. this is my traceroute to Morai....

Gexetos, look at where your post gets cut off and replace whatever character is there.

Make sure to copy it before hitting post to make sure you don't lose anything extra.

Every * is dropped packets.
In cases like hop 2, and 5, it's most likely because that device is not returning ping requests by design, but that's not always certain.

Almost every one of your hops though, is having spikes that are dropping packets. It's no wonder you're having such issues.

filipenogueras

I'm having the same scary lag spikes ... and as everyone else I have everything running fine besides Morai Server of PWI. Curious how always only the Morai server path is the bad apple b:laugh

Evryn - Morai

Echoing what's said here. Occasionally I get lag spikes as well. What is odd is... I run on 2 computers simultaneously and they do not get lag at the same time. If the issue is between my connection and the server, both clients would have to be affected by it at the same time (both were in combat not in an instance - a BM punching on some Tigaeros and a cleric taking on some of the mobs you get base materials from... ossaur cavalry I believe). Cleric got a lagspike which froze it for a few seconds, after which when the game got back in sync, the NPC was dead. Seemingly the server did register my client sending "cast spell" commands.

I believe this to be an issue with the server not being able to send back data to the client. Wether the server fails to generate the data due to high load, or wether a few packets get dropped somewhere between the server and the AMSIX, I cannot say. Issue seems to occur most frequently when there's a crapload of combat going on - during TW's, NW's, tiger event or Archo Assault event.
