That's the problem, the ping NEVER spikes. I rarely see it in the triple digits and never really above, I'd say, 109. Don't think I've seen it hit 110 or over. That's whats so baffling about it is that it's acting like packet loss or some sort of connection deal, but not everything, in fact there are things, as noted, that lean against it.
However, Last night, after searching these forums for four hours along with eqemu forums for lag issues and things (regretably a Large topic to "search" and come up with nothing that fits my description of issues), I started it up, patched the new patch, tried it to see if that would work, and it still did it. I left the game running minimized to come here to post about the issue and by the time I got done posting here, I went back into the game and everything worked for about 2 hours till I got off. I was gonna post about it last night but I have to admit to being guilty of enjoying EQ working. Now I'm going to try to find out what happened and why it worked. Just got off 13 hours of work (Dang THE MAN for keeping me away from my reunion with EQ), gonna give it a try. If I can figure anything out, I'll update this post just in case someone else by some fluke (as this seems) has the same problems since I couldn't find anything.
BTW, yeah I'm hardwired.
I did actually put everquest as accepted through the firewall. But there was no changes during my post time that would have explained why sitting there that long would have allowed it to start working flawlessly... I'm just baffled
PS, Thanks so much for the Reply!
