What the hell just happened to me?

[ridiculousmoose]

Seems hes looking for some kind of conspiracy theory...

Your ISP doesnt have direct access to p99, it routs thru other servers. This is classic case server failure within the circuit rout, not a conspiracy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Even the fact others were not having problems.
Think what you want, me gone.

Again, there is no logical reason why I was the only person locked out for over 10 minutes. "trust me I does dat know abouts dem dare packets stuff" is complete BS. It also does not explain why my corpse was not where it should have been, and if the server was considering me wre my corpse was, there is no way my "pet attack command" would have even done naything.

How many people were in the zone? 20-30. How many of those people do you think use the same internet company as you and live close to you? I bet 0. Your connection to P99 takes a completely different route to get to the server then the person standing next to you in the zone. Say your information travels between 10 servers before it hits the p99 server. Say the person your grouped with hits 12 servers before his info gets to p99. You might not have any servers in common between your connections and the final connection. That is why you dc while the guy next to you doesnt. You could live an hour from the p99 server and depending on how your ISP transfers info it could cross country and come back before actually getting to the correct location.

ok, take off your tinfoil hat..no one is out to get you and your summoned bags..

Lets take Sally and Jimmy for example.

Sally is at point A, Jimmy is at point B..

Sally calls Jimmy for a bootycall..

Jimmy gets the message and takes off down crenshaw and vine towards Sally's apartment.

On the way, Jimmy gets stuck in traffic (lets call this latency), and tries to text Sally but Jimmy doesnt hit send, even though he is sure sent the message (this is called packetloss)..

In the meantime, Sally is waiting and dries up and Jimmy gets rustled.

You are Jimmy, you are rustled..your packets sent did not = packets recived..this story has nothing to do with what happened to your packets across the network, but clearly your Jimmy is rustled..that is the moral of the story..

Good lord I'm gonna need to get drunk before reading more crap on this forum to deal with this nonsense.

What part of clicking on numerous bookmarks to other websites, rom both coasts I might add, did you not read?

If it was my local area only afected, I wouldn't havae connected to any or at least some of them, but they all popped up near instantly.

/sigh Learn how the internet works and come back please. Your the one causing all of us the need to get drunk. You know those "10 servers" between you and p99 i was talking about? The 9th server might be the one that went out. That server is only used by you to connect to p99 and NO other internet sites you go to...Does that make it any clearer for you or do i have to whip out my Microsoft Paint skills and draw you a picture?

Kid, I forget more on the toilet than you will learn in a lifetime. If you can't exactly explain what happened then get out of my thread and go back to your miserable existence.

er I'm posting again, ah well. But anyhoot, that's a tcp/ip error when it comes to packet loss. I've worked on udp/ip servers, I prefer that much better for mmo's. TCP/IP is nice and responsive, but when packets fail or come in out of order, things tend to get all squirrely before the certain drop. UDP/IP is far more forgiving, more stable, but not as responsive. It can take packets out of order, and even recover after a good deal of packet loss.

But that's not the reason, just the result. I've been at this a long time, since even before computer science and network admin in college, far from BS fur sure. Nooow I'm done here heh

Maybe you should have posted in rnf, please don't troll this forum. Thulack has it right, should listen to him.

Only did this cause i'm getting paid to. http://imgur.com/uySbQzK Notice the big red X? If that server went out only p99 would be affected for you. Get it now?
