I'm not sure if this is just me or not, but the more people from my "general area" I'm around on the same map with, the more lag it seems like. Whenever my friends get on and we party together somewhere, the lag seems to become insane, but once we are say on different maps and such, everything gets much less lagging. It still does lag from time to time granted, but I wanted to see if anyone else had that same experience with leveling with friends in their general region

• "Is the location you are forum posting from, the same location as you experienced game play lag from?" Yes
• "What time in PST (clock is on the website) did this happen" Last 3 days constant, same IPs causing the lag and disconnections.

Tracert attached in pretty form, ran right now which would be 1.30pm PST.

Spoiler

I'm not sure what to do about it as although it's iRO's ISP provider it's not iRO's server itself causing the lag... Leaves me in a bit of a limbo as it doesn't seem to be getting better and it's become very hard to play. Is there anyway of resolving it myself like tracking down the problem node and getting the company information to contact them have them fix it?

Yeah, Gravity's server team really needs to put their foot down with their ISP and start making some heavier demands on fixing the problem. Each day it goes on it gets worse and worse. I'd rather see a day of downtime with the lag resolving afterwards than to keep this crap up.

The biggest issue if can't resolve it is I may end up getting banned for KSing because for example at the moment hunting Magma popos and I click on one even though noone on screen it lags 3-5 seconds and by time my character reaches it someone else has walked on and started attacking it, I quickly after what looks like warping across screen due to time lapse click on another part of map a dozen times so I don't end up KSing anyone but it's had some close calls and making my life a misery. Then theres the fact it will stop during an attack on something and 3 seconds later a barrage of hits on the monster and myself I sometimes come back deseased by time lap spike ends. On some occassions after the spike I don't come back at all as in get disconnected.

But like i said I can't really have a go at GMs themselves as it doesn't appear to be their server as the cuase of it, it's the ISP NTT (IPs) that seem to be where they start half way through the tracert and always at same places. So I would like to know if theres anything I can do myself to resolve it. Other than running tracerts and seeing theres a problem I don't know what to do after that.

According to NTT site:

• The NTT Com Global IP Network is free of Network Outages 100% of the time.
• Latency will not exceed 50 milliseconds for the North American Network, 90 milliseconds for the Trans-Atlantic Network and 130 milliseconds or less for the Trans-Pacific Network.
• Packet Loss will not exceed 0.1%.
• Average jitter will not exceed 250 microseconds and will not exceed 10 milliseconds more than 0.1% of the time.

Yet I'm always getting 200+ (currently at 291 milliseconds not microseconds) on their network recently over past few days not the 130ms or less they say wont exceed. Surley this is ammo for iRO to bash them with. I looked at site and seems is nothing I can do since I'm not a customer of theirs. The problem seems to stem from Hop 15 on the images I supplied shown above in my previous post. Again thats the Hop with almost 300 milliseconds now.
