    I've been trying for the past several hours to get a steady connection to Alice, but I can't. I can ping any of the sk domains with about 25-55 ms response time, but as soon as I try to actually play, everything lags out. It takes over a minute for a chat to go through, and if I try to open an inventory of any sort, I time out. Other games (D3, Borderlands, and Rust) and Skype work just fine. I'm not sure if it's an ISP issue (Time Warner), or if it's something going on with my client, but this is unplayable. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I can do to mend this, save switching ISPs, I'd be appreciative.

    Have you tried either mirrors that LordRedstone setup?

    I've tried mirrors, switching my DNS to both OpenDNS and Google's DNS service, I've tried restarting my router/modem/computer, etc. I'm on right now. Playing just fine for the most part. The issue is off and on. It fucking sucks.

    Maybe it's something at your base or where you're logging in that's using a lot of network?

    I'm pretty sure it was my ISP. I was having connectivity issues at my office, too, and that's just a couple blocks down the road. Problem's about as resolved as it's gonna get now.
