Ok here is a wierd one for you. I clicked on Options....Citizen....to see
how many days I have. I pushed Cancel and was fine. Then I went back to see
the date of emmigration and instead of pushing Cancel this time I pushed OK.

Without leaving my world the bots and people disappeared from my view and
whisper box. It said 'looking for Taurius' ...then Done....I was there but
still no bots or people. Telegramming one of the people, he said I was not
there.

I tried Login....went "looking for" again, but returned same as before.

I had to close AW and reopen in order to reappear in my world...

My friend tried it to see if it was just me. He opened
Options...Citizen...and when he pushed OK, the same thing happened to him.
He had to close AW and return to be seen and heard again.

This is new.

Not to sound like the old doctor joke, but if it hurts when you do that,
don't do that.

The new servers suck at reconnections. When making a change such as
quickly logging into tourist, another citizen account or using a PPW as
well as changing (Although for some silly reason, pressing OK without
making changes is considered a change) your citizenship details you'd be
reconnected to the server usually, right? It used to do it instantly.
But now the new server is having trouble trying to reconnect it seems.

This is not new at all. You got disco'd from the server like I get disco'd
every day almost and this has been happening since the first day the Windows
server was made available. Welcome to the club.

well so far (other than aw doing their testing) I have found the connection
in 4.1 to bed excellent. Worlds are running well, probably better than when
they were in 3.6. Disconnections are fewer, people actually see the name of
world on list which did not always happen before.

I think 4.1 was a huge improvement....and giving AW a chance to fix the bugs
which I think they are so far doing an excellent job, we can and should
expect a few shutdowns (which they have been pretty kind to let us know
pretty much before they happen). I have no complaints there.

But in 3.6 when I pushed ok in Cit options I was not disconnected...this IS
new to 4,1 ....but like Baro says, I can live without doing the OK
LOL...Just telling others - dont do the ok LMAO

When you change your privilege password usage, you're disconnected and
reconnected to the server. In 3.6, the change would take effect without
reconnecting. This is by design, and was said not to be a bug.

ok, look at your server logs during the times you are NOT disconnected, but
when you can't do anything, and you move real slow.... do you see the words
>garbage< next to your IP address? If so, then you have what a lot of us
have been going through.

I saw that the first day only...when I tried to connect to the 4.1 for my
worlds. Never since

I removed 3.6 completely from program and startup....put startup to 4.1 on
restart....and have had not one garbage since....and not that many
disconnections considering the work aw has been doing.

even though the 3.6 was closed down and in C drive, for some reason it
seemed to be interferring with the 4.1installed in My Documents....removal
completely of 3.6 seems to have fixed all that garbage.....

or maybe I was just lucky. Only thing other than the occasional AW shutdowns
to break my connection in the last few weeks, was a crow landing on the
transformer top of pole across the street yesterday morning...electrocuting
herself, blowing the transformer, and the whole neighbourhood's
electricity....She is still lying dead on the ground by that pole....should
I blame her for all the ills of the world? LMAO it sure was not AW's
fault....
