I play on the Excalibur server and regularly get huge bursts of lag every day at any time. Enemies take up to 20-30 seconds to load, NPCs can take up to -three minutes- to load for me, I get stuck on loading screens all the time and my game rubberbands all over the place.

I regularly see "receiving" pings of over 1500 and all the way up to 3000 on any given day, regardless of what time it is.

What doesn't make sense to me is my pingtest and tracert to the Data Centers are fine.

I would very much like to try and resolve this issue if at all possible, because playing the game with this much lag is very difficult, frustrating, and not very fun.
