hmm, well is it a coincidence if ALL the people who post here about lag problems have a high ploss count at hopone? :/ So if I get this right, actual data packets don't get 99% lost, but pings and such don't always return because it's not seen as a priority? By the way, clueless, what error message do you get when trying to connect to the zone? "Connection to server lost" after a while?
