Hi folks

I've had probs with lag for a while now its always red square/triangle middle perf bar sometimes red square on the left of perf bar. But last night was awful took about 7 seconds for messages/ spells any actions !! computer is so-so spec 2.17 Mhz ath XP 3000, 1gb ram, radeon 9100 gfx card :/

I read some posts here done a ping plot, several in fact !! the results are below.

Any advice would be of great help.

*shudder*

Try a different isp, my bet is the problem disappears.

Well, the longer the plot the better the indication. I can see two things there to comment on.

First is the aol.com latency you're getting. Your average ping times to the first hop are considerably slower than my blueyonder 256k connection is to the DAoC servers. Hence the other provider comment by Kicks.

Secondly that I'm not sure what you're pingplotting to. 193.252.123.177 is Prydwen, if you want to try that. Only by pinging the server itself can you see the whole story with the routing.
