Honestly, this is not an issue with ISP. If it was it would not be an issue with the multiple different ISPs cited in this string. I'm from Canada on Shaw. not many posters here are with my ISP and I have the exact same issue. I have played P99 since 2009 and NEVER had this issue till the last change.
I have played on P99 for the last 4 years on the same PC and ISP and have had load times of 5 seconds or less. I have never had any issues crashing or anything else that has been stated in this post. Since the last change I crash on 7 out of 10 zones and the game is basically unplayable. If it is considered "playable" it is not enjoyable.
While I do consider that this is a free server and you are not paid for your troubleshooting and work that you put in to this server; it would be nice that you at least consider that there could be an issue.
Only since the last change have I crashed on 7/10 zones (and NEVER crashed while playing in a single zone. stable at 100ms ping). I have deleted ini files and reloaded. Removed EQ and reinstalled fresh. Restores windows 8.0 to the date BEOFRE this started happening. Did a fresh install of Win 8.0 and reinstalled EQ. Did a fresh install of the upgraded Windows 8.1 the fresh install of EQ. Still same issue.
I installed EQ on a different computer and tethered my phones internet to it (which has been very reliable in the past on P99, before this issue started) and still same issue. Its not my ISP and its not my computer. Doesn't leave many options.
We CANNOT start to fix this issue till someone server side at least acknowledges that there is an issue.
Thank you very much for your time and effort on this server but PLEASE look in to this!
