SO today while trying to participate in the final hours of the smuggler event at hidden falls I kept crashing and when I try to log back in I get the normal avatar logged in message once then always several timeouts. I ran the traceroute that MA sent out for us and discovered that I'm getting some requests that time out in the middle. Here's the first one.

Since i'm rather nub at these things does anyone have any advice? I tried calling my ISP but they wanted to charge me for info on this (complete BS imo). Any help would be appreciated.
I would say this isn't your ISP or the IP routing currently. I would say that this is more than lickley due to the reduced infrastructure that all Planets are currently running on due to the failure last weekend. That and Ned Kelly Smuggler Causing Chaos Server issues July 26, Entropia Universe had an unexpected production disturbance. It turned out that the root cause of the disturbance was hardware issues that resulted in failing servers. The failing hardware has now been removed. In the meantime we are running EU with reduced HW resources and that is the reason for the exceptional lag. Replacement hardware is scheduled for delivery beginning of next week. With the new and more powerful servers installed, end next week at the latest, we should see a considerable improvement of the lag situation. We are very sorry for this inconvenience and will get back to you when we have more information. Klas Moreau CEO MindArk If you really want to check then you might find the following useful - but then your going to need to get assistance from your ISP. I know this isnt your ISP but its got instructions on how to capture and analyse the data. http://community.plus.net/library/faults/using-wireshark-for-data-capture/
This is no fun! I cant log in at all now! Server status: Some areas or services may be inaccessible. This does not have to affect your gameplay. Anyone know how long i will have to wait?

THanks Sally. I will look into this. The one reason I thought maybe that it was my ISP is because at one point i did see comcast.NY somewhere in the list right about where the request is timing out now. Things got a bit better later last night and haven't checked into it yet today so here's to hoping.
