gonna have to look at my build for the assassin again, I got a sweet build as it is but these updates may just have made an even more potent build possible.

somehow I do not think ABSA will be getting supreme priority on the IS network...
Their dial-ups have never been good since the get-go
@Vercogen, has the lightning bolt gone away? wait till it goes away and close gw and open gw again and then see if u still get the bolt, if it disappears see if u can login.

well i just stopped playing been trying the gates of kryta mission 5 times now already and now i am fed up of all these people leaving the whole time making it that you cant finish the mission.....guess i'll try again late tommorrow somewhere
Well I've spoken to the GW support, they can make some network tweaks for us but they need to see our routing, but ABSA blocks the TraceRoute request, so I've spoken to them, apparently they're busy on that, still waiting for them to get back to me!
Luckily I switching to ADSL soon!
P.S. Please log calls with them, so they can see that there's a problem! [email protected]

Haven't had any issues this weekend or for last week or so with regards to my gameplay experience (lag, disconnections, etc.)
I am reminded time and again what an awesome game this is
