In light of current gameplay login issues I thought it may be viable to know what each player has for an ISP you go through. While a poll could show the general playerbase choice of ISP, I have a hypothesis that Time Warner Cable users are not having problems and those that use a different ISP may have issues.
What I am requesting for active players to reply with is if you use Time Warner Cable or a different ISP for your Internet access. There is one more request that could be useful in this study: if you as a player here have login problems related to using your provided client to play that usually allows you to login. The clients in question are either the jave scripted client or the executable client in both as an official download. The web client version is already unplayable to my knowledge and as such isn't and option for this request.
As a member of staff, I feel that Ryan could use this information even though he didn't request any staff as far as I know to query on it. As far as privacy goes, I don't think providing the information for my hypothesis invades any person's privacy.
Personally I do use Time Warner Cable and while the game server is active I find that I no matter what I can login with no major errors.
