The dc issue is one that fascinates me in vmk. It used to be every 30 minutes. It seems to have shortened to about 25 minutes recently. However, on the Sunday of the ride-a-thon (didnt do it on Saturday), the time between dc seemed to be MUCH longer.
I do not know if vmk sets a dc timer that wipes us off the server every "x" minutes or what exactly the situation is - as I dont know their server set-up, but it truly has to be the most frustrating issue of this game for me.
And even the staff is well aware of it. I was told by a HOST in a game once when the game was structured such that we were only playing against ourselves, "You have to beat your opponent - the dc monster."
They know it's there. They know we all have issues and struggles with it. I have no clue why they either 1) dont fix it or 2) intentionally have it.
Then again, it IS a free game........
BUT - we can help each other by not getting in arguments with the HOST or hanging out in the staff rooms when we are done playing so that our fellow players that are in line can move through faster - before the dc monster grabs us!
