Week 11: Internet Separation Anxiety

Well, I'm F'ed. WoW has been giving me a great deal of problems as of late, coinciding with difficulties of my router.

Occasionally I'd get kicked off of WoW for whatever reason, I'd throw myself back on, and that would be that. Sometimes it was when I talked to a store owner and other times when I wanted to get a quest (essential stuff). But eventually I would get back on. Then I started having problems with the router. It would tell me that information was getting to my computer, but it wasn't. It wasn't just my network card, because my room mate was having the same trouble. So I updated the router drivers ... things were working as normal.

Or so I thought.

That's around the same time that problems with WoW started occuring. I would get into the game, and everyone would be "Unknown Entity." Or I would fool around for a few moments and get kicked off the server. Or I would try to sit down, and it wouldn't let me. Always with the kicking off.

I contacted support for this issue, and they admitted that there was a problem with people trying to connect (they were also working on their server issues). So they told me to erase this, update that, which I did... and I still have been having problems. This makes me angry, as well as reluctant to even try to get on, because I will be thrown off again. Last night I tried for thirty minutes to get a healthy connection... to no avail.

So this can lead to problems.

I am continuing to talk with support, and get on occassionaly, so we'll see how this goes.
