characters taking 5min+ or not zoning at all

[onnemann]

about every other time i zone my box crew today. atleast 1 char gets stuck while zoning. sometimes just takes them 5 mins to zone and sometimes they wont zone at all. i have to close clients and reopen them. sometimes even when i open fresh client for that char it wont let me log back on them for several mins. any ideas?? it is completely random what toon, doesnt matter the zone, and even does it if i try to zone toons 1 at a time.

Same problems here tonight, as described above.

Usually when this happens to me it is because I have lost packets from a router in Hungary 83.217.233.2. Do a trace route to the THF server, see if you have a slow or lost response to any routers along the way. Then do a constant ping to that router, you should see times where there are no lost packets, that is the time to zone.
