I have also been having that but I assumed since it wasn't happening to anyone else, it was just my computer. There's no pattern to it. Sometimes I can be afk overnight with no issues at all. Where yesterday it happened 3 times within a 10 minute time frame and all throughout the day. Sometimes, Ill be afk for a 5 minutes and come back disconnected so it's not based on what I'm doing either. I also get both client crashes and disconnects. No pattern to those either. I do freeze for like 20 seconds before it disconnects which is annoying. I usually just X out the client because its 50/50 whether Ill disconnect or stay logged in.

I think it's related to a disconnect. Many times when i disconnect, the client crashes. Well, if that's the case at lest we know where to look.

Yeah right after posting asking that question, I went afk for a few minutes.. came back disconnected. Lol. I almost wrote in that post that I haven't been disconnected yet today but it's bound to happen. Haha.

I have been disconnected alot but i thought it was just my network issue (bf upgraded the router few weeks ago). Couple of times a days, sometimes even caused me death.

Today the crashing has been awful for me. I have crashed/disconnect over 5 times in my 30 minutes of playing. It's almost unplayable today. Yesterday, I crashed a few times but it was not nearly as bad.

It ended up being 11 times over 32 minutes. I died in Labyrinth from crashing, crashed as soon as I logged in, took a few steps towards the ankh from where the pyres were and crashed before I could res. Finally got back in resurrected and ran out of Labyrinth and crashed just sitting at Britain. GreenBar gave me a suggestion. I will PM it to you in a few hours.
