Since Patch day I have been rarely able to connect for any length of time. I can usually get to the character select screen, but when I try to login I get stuck at "Retrieving List of Maps". On the rare occasion I can get passed that I will disconnect within a very few minutes while zoning. I haven't changed anything on my PC / Router / FIrewall, the game worked fine until last Thursday or Friday. I'm really starting to think the problem is with my ISP somehow, or some jump relatively close to me. I've tried connecting with all Firewalls and Virus scanners turned off and that doesn't fix anything.
and that's it. Pretty used to high pings...coming from Japan.

Trace complete.
you have two high jumps in the tracert hop 7 to 8 which is not too bad if it was an over seas hop but it is in the same region (company routers) and then again on 14 -15 which has been a continuing problem at cogento.com on some of thier routers setups.
the nettest besure if you are using win7 or vista you have it set to run as admin. and it is allowed access by your firewall and antivirus. Also be sure your IE borwser is not set to work offline which can prevent connections.
Comments
I play plenty of online games and some F2P MMOs, and I never have any way near the trouble as I'm having with this game.
I'm from the UK and I pay at all times of the day and night, and the time seems to make no difference.
Somebody please help, I've seen a lot of posts about this problem so I know it's not just me.
