[EU][Ragnarok] Lagspikes: first time it's getting this bad for me

[Soukyuu]

So I was invited to coil t1 today. The whole party was having lagspikes that lasted about 10 seconds. Not a condition you can fight ADS in.

Thinking maybe coil was crowded we left and went to try Titan - same story.
Garuda - same story. At least we could win against garuda, even though she disappeared for half of the fight for half of the DPS.

Looking at traceroutes to Ragnarok, the problem seems to be the server itself, or rather your datacenter:

I really hope this will get better, otherwise I don't see why I should pay for having to idle in town, because everything else is laggy beyond being playable. My ISP doesn't throttle P2P traffic, and it's the first time since release that the lag has been this bad. I already tried re-logging, resetting my router etc.
