Frequent disconnectsFollow

So I am trying to get back into DAoC and activated seven-day trial. I very much wish to get back into it but I keep getting disconnected from the game during East Coast prime hours.

Sometimes between the hours of 5:00 and 10:00 pm Eastern my toons will stop receiving packets from the server and the client disconnects me. It truly affects my overall enjoyment and negatively affects my toons when in a dangerous spot or even while engaged in combat.

It seems to me I had this same problem on a different computer back when I first left DAoC and it was a contributing cause. The problem does not seem to be related to auto detect settings on my AV suite, nor an issue with my firewall (since I have tried it after temporarily disabling both the smart firewall and autodetect AV).

I am on broadband (FIOS) and I don't have this problem in the other online games I've played recently.

So I wonder whether this problem impacts others? Is it a known issue? Is there a way to minimize occurance? Any tips? Does customer support ever respond ( I assume CS is understaffed)?

It appears that whatever the issue was it subsided enough over the past few days for me to feel heartened, and I have resubbed. It is unfortunate that there is no easy way to delve my old account name or recover its password, but I suppose that is for the best. Though I had advanced characters the game world has changed significantly and should be relearned.

Hrm. The disconnects returned last night. It seems to occur most during high traffic periods. Very discouraging when attempting to clear my way through a dungeon only to go 'link-dead' every five or ten minutes. How can it be on my end when no other online multiplayer game that I play does this, ever?

Same situation and same results are happening to me. Frequent random disconnects. Very frustrating. I wish they had would come out with daoc 2.
