    So as some people know, I am currently playing from South Korea.
    I am fully aware my location is far away from the host/server, so I know there might be extra lag or delay in any of my actions, but everyday, it seems to be getting worse and worse, to the point where I just get frustrated and don't want to play anymore. For example, today on a Zak run, the game would constantly freeze for 2-3 seconds every 5-8 seconds, to the point where I was just spamming potions rather than attacking. It takes 2-3 seconds for a potion to even register and 1-2 seconds for my damage taken/done to register. For reference, we ran around 1 AM Server time.

    This almost never happened when I first started, and even with the population increase, it never got THAT bad. I KNOW there are constant DDOS attacks, but there's a huge difference in when the server is getting DDOSed and when it isn't. I called my ISP and checked, and its not from my end. I tested other games the same day (Today) and everything was fine. I even went to try other private servers to test the connection (with or without a high population) and it just runs so much smoother.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to compare servers. I love this server and the community (70% of it ;D), but its just so disheartening to come online to play, only to see I'm the only one facing these problems. I have asked other friends from SG, U.S.A, and anywhere else around the world. They will face "small lags" at most, compared to my constant freezing. My computer is fully capable of running Maple so it has nothing to do with my hardware either.

    To finally get to the point, why am I the only one dealing with terrible connections? Is there a way to fix this? Will changing the host (as said by Kimmy) improve this at all? Sorry for all the rant/complaining, but I hope you do understand where I'm coming from :(.

    Poi!
