im new to this shard and im liking it when im able to play.
Often i experience extreme lag and game freezes making it impossible to play most of the day, but occasionally the game plays completely normal. I know its not my internet connection because i can hop onto the internet and everquest2 and its fine.
im wondering if its going to be like this forever or if its something i can fix.

There's a utility called UO trace (Google search for it, and it should come right up). This program will trace out the route that your packets take to obsidian. There's a destination field on the program somewhere (i don't know where, it's been a while since I have used it myself). Type in www.dxgaming.com in the field and hit trace route...then hit the "poll" button. It will tell you exactly servers your packets are going through, and what servers are causing you to loose packets. If you loose the most packets at the first hop, then it's mostly on your end...If you loose the most at the last, then the problem is the shard. if your loosing them somewhere in the middle, then your ISPp should re-route your connection, but you'll have to call them to ask if that's an option.

well thats what i got. there doesnt seem to be much packet loss, 2% near the end, but maybe someone sees a problem?

sometimes i got lag too, like i try to run and keep freezen like pausing but if i walk everything go smooth not all the time
