1. New Jersey, USA

2. Embarq DSL (Sprint)

3. Doomsayer

4. Anything and everything, the "spike" is at all times when I log in, I never get below 100ms and usually hover around 1K. Since whoever is hosting the AoC servers has disabled IP echoing I can not run an appropriate trace rout to find the problem.

5. Happens almost all the time during "Prime time" 5pm EST - 10pm EST, SOMETIMES get decent ping in the early mornings usually before your 6am EST downtime.

6. Forever....

7. AMD 3500+ 2.21ghz, 2gig Dual DDR, 8800GT OC 512meg, game and system installed on a 74gig 10K rpm Raptor HD.




Any help would be apreciated, if you could at least PM me the contact information for the hosting company hosting the AoC servers in Jersery I could request them to do a reverse tracert to my network or to allow IP/Echo temporarily.

well whatever they did the issue is not there on my computer anymore. Got to play for a good hour tonight before i had to log off for work. I still think they need to talk about this problem and fix it for those who are having it and i will still be vocal about that.

Changing instances while in Tortage (Day) helped me with the latency. But while playing in Tortage (Night) I got stuck in 10K latency and since there are no instances to change to, I just died and logged off.

I played for 5 hours today in the Omm server. Everytime I got hit by a latency spike that stayed for more than 3 minutes I just changed instances and that helped. I kept doing this until I found an instance where my latence went back to normal (100-170ms) for me.

I am guessing its a bandwidth problem. I am just not sure what else to think.

To me it sounds like a server side issue still, since I don't have the issue when I simply change a single username field on my router...
