so.. devs are aware that this is an issue.

and are trying to correct it.

but do not acknowledge or attempt to fix the random dc's that people around the world constantly get. Some days I'll dc a few times every hour, for the entire day, no matter what I'm doing. Some days I won't dc a single time in 10 hours of straight game play, no matter what I'm doing. Sometimes I can't even sit in one place doing nothing but waiting for time to pass while people gather for a party, and I dc every 5 seconds. So what gives? I know the current server system blows, I know a lot of stuff is going to be fixed for 2.0, but this is one problem that persists though, and needs to be fixed sooner.
