Ryzom

Hi, I'm new to Ryzom. My main char is currently in the desert, and when I first log him on for the day, my connection/ping is fine. When I turn Ryzom off for a break, and then log back on a couple of hours later, I almost always have insane ping/connection problems (8000 ping or so). Yet, when I turn my computer off and go to sleep, when I wake up and log on, I don't have a connection problem. Then the cycle repeats. This problem didn't start happening until about 3 days ago (I played about 4 or 5 days in the desert with no problems so I don't think it's anything to do with the desert)

Also, more strangely, when I log on other characters instead of my main, my connection is fine. I made another char in Silesila and I can always play him fine even while my main char is having problems. I then used the alt char and went to the desert, and didn't have any connection problems.

Any ideas what the heck is going on?

Now this is really strange.

Are you on W-LAN?
Or in a Network?
May somebody else be using your connection at the same time, maybe downloading something in the evenings? Coincidentally at the same time as you used your main Char.?
Just a few theories...
