Speaking of connection problems.
EVERYTIME I log into EQ for the first time of a gaming session, I lose
connection after about 5 minutes of play. I have to log off my ISP
reconnect and load back up EQ then I'm fine for the rest of the time.
ANYONE have any idea why this may be happening? It seems to me like more
of an ISP problem since I have to log off of my isp to reconnect to EQ but
who knows...
