I keep getting DC after zoneing. And if I box a charter i get dc when I invite them to my group. Think it might be time for a reboot.

might be a client problem. noone else reported any issue. the server was running fine all night long with 100+ population.

Can't say much for the invite thing, but getting dc'd when zoning typically has to do with your internet not being consistent enough. Here is what I've seen:

I've been struggling with this for about ... 3 months now I think. My ping is great and always < 150ms (I live somewhat near the server), but my internet provider isn't constant enough so I'm getting dropped about every 3 times I zone, it's random. The only problem is that it has to do with the way EQ handles zoning and really it is impossible to fix except by improving your connection. I can do anything else (any other game, YouTube, internet call w/ video) fine, but only EQ can't handle it.

If you run a wireless connection on a home network, I'd begin checking there. It could also be your ISP.
