What everyone needs to remember is that this issue is not so Black and White.

It is NOT:

If route via Level3 = lag, If route =/= Level3 = no lag.

It is instead a big Grey issue.

I'm sure many thousands of users who are routing via Level3 are fine, but it is much more complicated than say "I/My friend go via Level3 and they don't lag, so therefore it's not Level3."

It is more accurate to state that "When routing via Level3, the lag is more likely to occur." Not "When routing via Level3, lag WILL occur."


And yes, I do blame your ISP for your issues, Dodo are the worst ISP in Australia, and it can be expected because they are the cheapest too.

On the other hand, just because this 10K lag happens MOST OFTEN with Level3, does not mean it will never happen via another route.

Considering that almost EVERY SINGLE traceroute with the lag was via Level3, except yours, it would be safe to say that your situation is caused by some other factor/routing issue, but the rest of us are affected BECAUSE OF Level3.


Anyway, I'll stop rambling, I have my fix and I'm just trying to help and hope Funcom pays attention.


PS: Funcom on the Euro forums definitely confirmed the issue was due to German Telecom Level3 routing. It is a long thread though, probably 70+ pages now, so have fun finding that particular post again.

Hi all,

not i'm not one to normally bitch about this stuff, but i have to say, i'm getting extremely annoyed with lag of 4-9seconds during combat!!!! never have i experienced lag such as this off U.S. games servers for other MMO's... and it's driving me nuts because it's getting me flogged!

I am on a 10Mb ADSL connection in australia with TPG internet running a Q9600 quad core processor, a 9800GTX Nvidia reference card, 6Gig of RAM with a 1Gb LAN on a Billion 7402GL ADSL modem. It is continuously happening during COMBAT since i jumped into the game a few days ago. Also getting lacky banded around the lands and seeing others skip around quite a bit because of the lag. I'm on the SET server

PLEASE PLEASE address this issue - is it at the server end - is it the server or funcom connections slowing things down???

answers or suggestions please... sorry for the rant but getting very frustrated being ganked by low level stuff because i'm standing there for 9 seconds doing nothing because of lag....

Cheers all - apart from this, mostly love the game.
