Party disconnects -- still occuring?

[jrbick]

I took all of my money out of the Party skins last night until they fixed their problem with disconnections. Can anyone confirm that (since last night's fiasco) there has been some kind of fix for the disconnects?

thanks

Absolutely not. They have made no changes and if anything the problem is worse today than ever. The games are unplayable. I got a half hr in today only and couldnt stand to continue.

I had the same old problems as before. Thought they fixed it last night, but guess that was an unrelated problem.

Is it problems with them? I emailed them, here's what I got:

If you are facing frequent disconnections while playing then we are sorry to note that you have been facing inconvenience due to Internet delays. Internet Delays or Internet Disconnections could be due to various reasons, none of which can be influenced by us, like the number of Internet gateways that fall in between our site and your system (more number slows down the process, if any of these intermediate servers are slow, the transmission to your system will also slow down causing Internet Delays or Internet Disconnections), your connection bandwidth, configuration of your system, the number of applications you run simultaneously that access Internet, the amount of available memory space on your system etc.

If you have a dial up connection, which is the minimum requirement, you may wish to upgrade to a cable or a fixed line Internet connection that will minimize the chances of disconnections or you may wish to get in touch with your Internet Service Provider for further assistance.

Note: Please do not disclose your password to any individual/organization claiming to represent us. We will never ask you for the password to your account. If you receive any email or phone call from anyone requesting you to provide your password please report it to us immediately.

Obviously I'm not the only one though...

I've disconnected at 4 different tables within an hour of play.

[titans01]

Well I have cable and I'm still disconnecting.

Just logged off Empire because it was now worse than it's ever been, for me at least. I've sent three e-mails with no response. However, from the responses they are giving others, they do not appear ready to do anything about this. Keep bombarding them with e-mails, is the only thing I can think of to do, other than playing elsewhere.

Oh ... internet delays which they have no control over, eh?

THEN WHY THE [censored] DOES THE WHOLE [censored] TABLE GET SAT OUT IF ITS OUR PROBLEM?

[Synergistic Explosions]

All I know is I'm playing on half a dozen different sites everyday and Party network is the only one I'm having problems with. So if they keep claiming its my ISP I guess I have no choice but to take them off my list of playable sites.

Maybe since they have to answer to their shareholders, it's better to deny they have a problem so investors don't get upset or worried. I don't know. They don't seem to care about giving honest answers to their player base.
