Just got this error, and booted from the server. It said something like Stop posting so many messages as it's considered spamming.

For the record, I wasn't posting anything... oh and for about 20-30 seconds prior to that, I got some tremendous lag spikes/packet loss..

    It's the lag catching up with the server. Happens all the time. :)

    Never happened to me before :(

    But the amount of lag spikes I'm getting to this EU server is making the game unplayable almost :(

    This happens to me currently, I believe its due to animation canceling for me.
    I begin combat and a few seconds later all my skills are inactive i can still chat, then later kicked for message limit.
    Sent a ticket in and told to wait for a fix soon. Jumped on the forums yesturday to see if this happens to anybody else and I could only find this April thread with no answers either

    Yes there is something wrong on server side. I get this message about 5-6 times yesterday and game randomly freezes (i can move but nothing else) 1 to 10 seconds at time to time. Never happend this before. Btw my ping is below 50 ms now after moving to EU.

    It's sadly yet another well known and oft-reported problem which has existed since the game's release that ZOS haven't/can't fix.

    Well if it ain't fixed I'm sadly going to have to get my gaming fix elsewhere.. last night was just an abject lesson in frustration for me with skills not working, nothing happening for many seconds once I've started a fight, then bam.. server catches up, and I'm dead.. it might have been tolerable (just about) when levelling 1-50, but at VR levels, several seconds worth of lag spike = dead more often than not.

    Hmm rock and hard place.. unplayable due to lag spikes or unplayable due to a duff UI and lack of features (without addons). Though why they should suddenly start causing problems now...

    I had this last week I think. Due to lag ... too many new instructions build up on the client side, and when the server suddenly gets them all at the same time, it fires the rate-limiter check.

    More helpful than the zos reply. Has nothing to do with addons.

    The problem is definitely server-side. When I'm in a group those 5 to 10 seconds "world freezes" happen to everyone in the group at the same time. My groupmates are in a different country using different providers, and some are not using addons. I got Error 318 twice after those events (out of ten or so times).
