Ok I know I haven't been here real long but the first week or so I had NO LAG at all no random disconnects... but the last week or so I keep getting CRAZY bad lag spikes I just almost died to scorpions... That's Sooooo Not Cool... I know there some other folks having this issue lets hear it and bring it to the attention of the Devs... somethings up...

I know I've randomly disconnected at least 8 times in the last 5 days... and lagged so bad I closed UO and reloged in at least 3

It's happened to me a lot too, Vlad, and seems to happen in small patches. When it happens to me, my laptop completely loses internet connection and then gets it back very quickly, but the lost connection is just enough to kick me out of UO. I'm not sure yet whether it's an issue here in our house with our wireless network (e.g., interference from cordless phones or cell phones or a neighbor's wireless network), a problem with our ISP, or something on EA's end. The wireless network drops off once in a while even when I'm not playing UO, but the drop-offs seem to happen a lot more often and back-to-back for five-ten minutes when I'm playing UO. I've also noticed I have the problem most often with Siege, Europa, and some of the Japanese shards like Yamato.
