Frequent disconnects from the game server only

Jasonn

Hi,

Since the patch I've been experiencing disconnects at the rate of approx 2 an hour although I remain connected to the game's chat and have not experienced any connection issues in the myriad of other games I play.

Is there an IP address I can run a traceroute to so I can see what happens when I lose the connection?

Thanks

Jasonn

Bump, anyone?

I'd rather not have to jump through all the hoops regarding opening a ticket and the initial exchanges before having got all the information from my end.
