Guild Wars 2, Tera, League of Legends, Smite, Torchlight II, and WoW all work flawlessly on this connection, FFXIV is the only black sheep.I have never lived in a dorm but I tried playing UO way back in the day in a friends dorm room and we couldn't keep connection for shit there. I'm not seeing what you are but it could be something weird with that if you're on like the school line, have you played any mmo's before on this service or any other persistent online game? I've seen large networks like this refresh your connections often and that could be causing the disconnect. But idk what kind of internet a college dorm has, I haven't been in a dorm room in 10 years due to the fact of being old as shit now.
find the closes window and throw your computer out of it? that's what i like to do when i'm mad, like being at work till 6 when i could be playing...

The WiFi router you are connecting to may be to blame as well. Perhaps it is blocking certain ports. Unfortunately if that's the case there may not be much you can do to change that being as it is unlikely you have admin rights to the router. Maybe if you were to connect to a proxy you could somehow circumvent the restrictions.
I'm connected via ethernet, but I understand what you mean. I can go have a talk with the ISP which is the school itself, monday. I'm not sure what to tell them though, forward ports to address BLANK?The WiFi router you are connecting to may be to blame as well. Perhaps it is blocking certain ports.

Oh sorry, I thought you were connecting via WiFi. If they are willing to unlock those ports for the game..assuming they are indeed locked..then that should help.

Shouldn't need to be forwarded..just not blocked should be good.
Well, I appreciate the help, hopefully it helps, but the times I've been able to get through still lead me to believe that there's no issue on my side. But, we'll see.

There is a chance they may have recently blocked those ports. They may have noticed an increase of network activity on those ports and decided to block it. Just a hypothesis, but seems plausible. Good luck.
