Last night I was in Mistmoore at 9PM Hawaii time. Thats 3 AM EST. When I
logged on, there were less than 15 people in the zone. The entire time I was in
Mistmoore, my packet loss percentage never went below 25%. A guildmate was also
in MM and I asked if they were having problems as well. They stated they
weren't having any problems and suggested I quit the game completely and log
back in. Tried that but it didn't do any good. Decided to go ahead and play
despite the lag.

Got into a fight in the GY and packet loss zoomed up to over 50%. Was fighting
a pledge familiar that started to run away. Tried to cast chains on it but, due
to the lag, it ran down the cave and soon brought a train of ancilles back with
him. I ended up dying and appeared at my bind spot in GFAY.

When I got to GFAY, I had absolutely no lag problems whatsoever. Packet loss
was 0% and the lag number was very low. LFAY was the same as well. As soon as
I zoned back into MM, packet loss went back up to over 25%.

I've been playing since April and I have never had lag problems like I did last
night. Any idea what was the cause? I know MM is considered a buggy zone but
there weren't that many people in MM and the other five people in my group were
having no problems whatsoever. Don't think it was my connection (cable modem)
because I had no lag problems when I was in GFAY and LFAY.
