I have been experiencing fairly consistent server drops and time outs regardless of whether I am playing on Server-1 or Server-2. This has been happening for weeks now. Today however, I have averaged a server drop once every 10 minutes. The reason for this post is to solicit from the community whether other players are experiencing the same issues. my Internet service is outstanding and I am not impacted in any other way.

Cheers!

It happens to me a lot. For example, right now. This has been going on for several hours at the moment

I am so sorry to hear you too are experiencing server drops. Thank you for sharing. Perhaps if there are enough of us... this will be investigated.

Cheers!

same problem here since around the server migration.
had tried a lot of things to fix it but nothing works and im fairly confident its not on my side by this point.
game is barely playable since then

So far, Euro and Euro approximate responses, correct?
Do you have any timeframes of when it occurs most frequently?

Super stable and smooth connection, never had a timeout.
From Germany.

I too live in Germany. I am on my 5th year playing on this server... three of those years living in Germany. I've never had a problem until the server migration.

Cheers!

I typically log into the game everyday around 18:00 (GMT +1) and play for an hour. I typically get booted from the server every 10 - 15 mins.

On the weekends, I log into the game at random times throughout the day.

If I get booted from the server during a DM event or when there is large number of players at FAI, then the server tells me my player name is already in use and denies me access. As such, I simply switch to the other server... then I get booted right after my character materializes.

Cheers!

Coming from Croatia, I've had exactly one timeout that I can remember in the past several months, which happened to be last night. In any case, never anything nearly as frequent or regular as the OP describes: Usually I'm disconnected by crashes on either the client or the server, not a connection failure between the two.

Are you using a VPN?

Yes. My default setting is to use a VPN. However, once I started to experience consistent server drops I stopped using my VPN.

This actually may be the issue. While I was disconnecting my VPN before logging in... it was set to disallow access to the Internet and was then connecting on its own. I've reset it and spent about 90 minutes playing without VPN with zero issues. That's the longest I have played without issues for a very long time.

Cheers!
