Shattered Kingdoms

I've been having some pretty bad lag recently. Is it just me?

The tick lag has been really bad lately. For me at least.

I've been having issues as well. I thought it might have been from an item or just my crappy old laptop, but maybe not?

Mine is awful.

Mine is awful.

I've been noticing some particularly bad tick lag, as well, particularly when I'm leveling or dueling. :/ I thought it was just my dinosaur Dell acting up.

You got a dinosaur dell, my PC has the original floppy drive

I described SK as a "needy girlfriend" the other day to Achernar. I used to be able to open a Firefox window while my character slept, doing some multi-tasking during character downtime. I also never had a problem with simply going afk.

Now, though, if I go to the bathroom, I'm linkdead. If I click over to my Firefox, I'm linkdead. If I type in a response that's more than two lines long, I'm linkdead.

>.< Really irritating.

edit: FYI this happens on a number of different clients, so it isn't that.

Firefox is sexy!

I've been having a weird problem like that, too! Again, I attributed it to my laptop, because before I left for a year I never had this problem. I don't go linkdead right away, though. It's more like, if I go afk for more than a full minute or two, I just don't get any sort of response when I type in commands.

It even happens when I'm playing, actually, if I'm just waiting for something to happen or taking a minute to read something. To avoid this, I generally keep half my screen scrolled on whatever I'm looking at, and periodically type att, sc, who, just to keep my client active. :/ My logs are riddled with garbage.
