    I notice that from time to time. I was DC'd for example this morning when I woke up as well. Luckily I sold my important mats that I wanted to sell before I got DC'd.

    I wonder if anyone really know why this happens.

    If I had a dime for every thread I've seen like this, I'd be a millionaire.

    Disconnections happen. The only real time you need to sit and wonder what happened is when the entire server is booted and maintenance wasn't happening nor scheduled - because this is clearly when there's something wrong server side. Up until that point, some people never disconnect, other people disconnect daily, others still are fine for a few days and then are randomly booted.

    It happens.

    Did you read the part where I said "some people are fine some days and then disconnect for the next few"? Guess not. Read again, please.

    Disconnections happen. If you're so worried, ask your other friends (preferably in game rather than an immediate "QQ i r disconnect" on the forums) to see if they've been having the same issue. If they've all been having problems with remaining connected to the server then feel free to come and ask the general forum populace if they too have had the same issue.

    Until then it's seriously only you and a few other people who've been having this problem, and since this typically happens to everybody at some point or another, it's nothing special.

    Of course it happens.

    The question remains as to why it happens. I am not a Internet Connection Techie so perhaps someone can explain why it happens and how to perhaps prevent it occuring at a less frequency. b:thanks

    Sometimes internet pipes get clogged, then when it uncloggs you get a blast of information that dc's you.

    Thanks for the reasoning behind it. For some strange reason mind you, I pictured using a toilet as a visual example. b:shocked

    This happened to HT today.
    Yknow the old wc drama was goin on, I was grinding on my cleirc and I start lagging like ****, I read in wc "Anybody else lagging like crazy?" You have been disconnected. I log back in, look at wc "Man I'm getting dced like as soon as I log in" "DC Anyone else?"
    I got dced again and again for about 20 mins, and so did the rest of the server

    Same thing on Sanctuary just happened tonight. I woke up to check my cat-shops, had been DC'd, and WC was filled with comments about, "Is anybody else getting DCd in the past 2 mins?", "OMG, we got DCd in Delta!", "GMs nuked the server!", etc...

    See, this is where the server connection comes into question.

    I'm not sure about DW today but yesterday and the day before was fine. However, a few days ago, a good portion of Dreamweaver was booted from the server, and while it was my first time with the mass disconnection, it was apparently the second time that day there had been a mass disconnection.

    Same issue I had, and yes I noticed the WC as well. Something is going on with the servers, to be honest the day I lag the most is on TUESDAYS, it may be because of uploading / downloading information from servers on bulk? whenever someone downloads something to their server it should lag as every other computer does, a server is a computer anyway.

    What I think happens is that the connection that each server has gets lowered when devs/gms/the maintenance guy with his doughnut uploads information into the servers which reduces the speed of the connection for whoever is uploading / downloading information from these (users with their client).

    I am not sure if the website is hosted on the same servers, would be dumb to do so... for several reasons devs will understand, mainly security reasons. In its case of being hosted on the same server, a website is files, as such, it will lag when someone (or several peeps) download the game / upload stuff / massively update ~ refresh the site.

    Not to mention SQL databases have a limit of connections (at the same time), which may be one of the issues PWI has, which may cause lag on queries.

    Thats what I think its going on.

    As for the d/c part, if you have a router, some routers restart themselves at X time, for example mine does this every 2 days at 3:00 am.
    Routers need a reset from time to time, since they can be overloaded with information which will lead again to d/c or the "clogging" as someone said before.

    This is my point of view of routers behaviour as an user, not a tech.

    The game servers are fine and have been populated with players.

    Please note that there are between 10-30 systems that your data packets go through across networks on the internet before they reach our servers, and back.

    If one of those ISPs has a problem, is doing maintenance, etc; it can trickle down to any data that was going across their part of the internet.

    You can check out what could be going on in the world with Internet connections here: http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/dataviz1.html Please note this only gives you some traffic data on one of the networks, but helps give you an idea of the semi-organized chaos that is the Internet and online gaming.
