My internet is REALLY slow during the day well form about 9am-4pm (gmt2+) and its so slow that I can't even join. On the login screen it most of the time says failure but when it successfully pings then I click join and then it says then server is off-line please go to the forum for more information... So I was wondering if there was a way to login in with out needing to ping the server? Any way even if i have to do it with paramters.... Just yesterday I tried loging in for a hour and 8 minutes :'(

if your connection is that bad, then you will most likely keep loosing connection in game anyway (then have to restart the client). I would contact your ISP about your connection.

I can actually play when it is that slow just not pvp/duel and not take on to strong npcs. I guess I will have to phone them about it...

WOW, that sounds like you actually have a worse connection than me :oO I must congratulate you on this ;) May I ask how you connect?

I have 64k wifi always on no cap for 250 rand a month (and btw my isp also blocks out some random sites eg. http://www.rainbownation.com/business/randwatch.asp I can see its there with google but I can't go there some times some sites are blocked and then later not blocked like once http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ was blocked out and I couldn't get new wine had to compile my self) I can guess its about R6 to R8 for 1 usd so that makes it 41.667 to 31.25 a month for super slow internet. Like I have said it goes slower in the day round about 9am to 4/5pm when its going fast its reaches 7.5kbytes/sec and I play planeshift ok and join ok (just can't ever pvp :( ) I used to have 56k dailup but was only allowed to go on the internet on weekend because I paid / minute and now at lest its perment only prob is when its slow its slower than my 56/k was.

Lol Datruth, that is so true ;)
Ahhhh, The pains of SA and their telecoms monopoly and terrible infrastructure. I used to meet loads of south Africans on WAP before I figured I could connect to the net by connecting my mobile to my PC :D Alot in SA do that aswell and can get free access through certain proxy servers, im not sure it would allow you to get access to the game but it might and it would probably be slightly more stable.
As for my charges, I pay 30 pounds sterling per month (R330/50USD/45Euro) for 47Kbps (5.9KB/s). So I pay more for less ???
As for those sites you cant access, try using a proxy called CoDeeN, its what I use to avoid my stupid filters on my mobile it works quite well :)
