Runes of Magic US / AU

Re-booted my computer before siege. Logged into the game. Killed the Hippo king, did dailies, prep-ed for siege. Then the real fun started [sarcasm]:

1. I started lagging, chat I typed wouldn't show up for around a minute, sometimes it took more than 2 minutes for a spell to activate, then, pow: I am back at the log-in screen, first password.
   
2. Repeat this about 3 times, with short episodes of no lag whatsoever.
   
3. Then I "rubberband" a few times, bouncing back to where I started 30 seconds ago, then back to the log-in screen again.
   
4. During all this, my ping is 32 for about a minute, then to 15k-30k, next time starts at 47, then to 45k, 3rd time 69, then to 750k, continue this with starting ping getting progressively worse until 568, 3.5m
   
5. missed siege tonight because of this. re-booted my computer 4 times now. NOT HAPPY!
   

Still experiencing the problem, I get about 15-20 minutes of normalcy, then the game gets unplayable.

My internet connection is fine; I have no problems doing anything online other than this game. I have tried re-logging, re-starting the client, trying another account, re-booting the computer: nothing helps.

And it is not tied to siege like I first thought, today it started at 12:00 noon CDT. It has become too frustrating to even try and play the game.

Do not get me wrong, I do complain a lot about this game, but I love it and just want it to get better.

Unfortunately, if I cannot play this game, I will find some place else to go. I am not making a threat, just stating a fact; I will get my online phantasy-phix one way or another...

OK, just wanted to say thank you. I don't know what you did (did you call back the gremlins that infested my internet server?), but the problem has gone away.
