He is right. This is a recurring problem and the last time the lag started at CogentCo and Comcast. There are literally multiple goggle pages on it from WoW, LoL, DoD, etc. So did cryptic forget the protection money again?
I am from Manila, Philippines. If I am lucky, I get a 45 second lag time when I play. That's enough to get my daily dilithium refined. Right now, the damn thing isn't even getting past the character page.
I checked and I believe Cogent Communications is causing the massive lag. Cogent handles the ISP in the Boston area where Perfect World is at. If you run a Trace and check the IP Addresses, all the lag started the minute it hit Cogent's area.
