I recently started playing Red server (played original EQ many many years ago) and am having a blast! I do have an issue that is happening often enough that I was hoping to get some help with. To start with my ping is generally around 160 (second bar is 100% and green).

Sometimes I seem to lose connection to the server that I can't get back until I camp out and log back in. I have observed this happen in the following scenarios:

1. Fighting a mob (solo) when everything stops moving - I no longer see attack animations of either myself or mob, and although I can use skills nothing seems to register. even thought he enemy is still alive, I need to sit, camp, and relog which fixed it

2. Fighting a mob (group) same scenario but all the other PCs around simply disappear. They can still see me move around (so they can see me camp), and I will continue to gain experience in the group if I don't camp and rejoin immediately.

3. Other scenarios is when this happens in town - if I /con something I won't see text about this, or if I use skills I won't receive skill points for a long time, I'll know that something is up.

Has anyone else experienced this? It happened a few nights ago 4 or 5 times in a 2 hour group session.

I had a few nights where it didn't happen at all, and again last night was grouping in Oasis and every 5 minutes everyone in my group disappeared and the mobs stopped moving. Had to keep camping and re-logging to re-join the group... very frustrating.

Any ideas what this could be? I'm still connected to the server technically as the group can see me run around, sit down, jump etc but I can't see them.
