NPC's and Players disappearing
I posted this on postcount, but thought it might get more attention from BS here. For the last couple of weeks, I have had npc's and players disappear from the screen. I thought it was just my computer or ISP, but I have discussed this issue with others and know of at least 5 other people that is having the same issue. It has happened 4 times just today. It is incredibly annoying. I keep dying to toons I can't see.
I port and still nothing comes back. I wait, nothing comes back. I have done multiple ping tests. I have no packet loss. I did a register clean up, checked for viruses, etc, basic computer troubleshooting. Rebooted computer, logged back in and 10 minutes later, town was empty again.
Any chance this is on BS's side? Would appreciate any information before taking more steps on my end (i.e changing isp providers)

That is why I am asking for feedback from BS. I am not the only person this is affecting. It doesn't seem to be on my side. I use Comcast, have for years, and never had this issue.
a) fix stuff
b) introduce more stuff that unbalances the game.
Going in and out of water has done nothing for me. I have tried. I have tried porting. I have waited 10 minutes to see if anything will come back. Nothing...so lonely And it happened 2 more times today. Maybe its my game file
Dear Kat, and dear Readers, the strange occurrences of NPCs phasing in and out of the game is likely not happening in your heads, but, beloved readers, it is part of the AI War. They do it in all the MMORPGs now. It's part of the singularity of big tech server software, if people haven't noticed, all the old home servers have been Archived, and we are all on Yvain now, some of us have even deleted and lost our first characters in the transfer process and lost our account loyalty rewards, with only the Alt Right server Gaheris leftover. It's in shambles. Oh God, Jesus Christ our Lord, where are you to put a stop to evil like that? That is how deeply we need to react to evil conniving greed that implement cheap breaking junk like that in a monthly pay game. Demand they stop taking money and stop using people like a guinea pig. Monthly pay games are supposed to be The Very Best User Experience. Can you see the AI War coming? Play Bit Heroes on Steam (Free to play), it allows players to Use other player's characters (Spirit bodies?) in raids, quests, pvp, and more. If people remember Quest For Glory 3, the hero's image is captured by a magical evil mirror which then a monstrosity comes out and attacks the hero. It will probably come in peace, bearing good gifts, and promising to never harm us. But like the phasing in and out NPCs, it can also be a cancer. Being able to use our offline friend's characters in the future will be a boon, but it may also be a curse. Especially as this becomes merged with reality. This is what brings us to remember the words of Jesus Christ.
Was playing last year...somewhere...and some ppl (incl me) had the same problem. They figured out that this issue could have something to to with udp blocked or not working properly.
In the end my problem was solved with this fix (not going to post a link, so just a quote):
Did work for me, did not work for others, but worth a try.
lol - hibs are going to tar and feather you - they seem to be a bit angry at me
The bug doesn't happen on both accounts. I just had it happen on my main acct, but buff bot was not affected. Would the UDP issue happen separately?
That it happens on only 1 account could be a hint for a udp problem. I would try +noUdpForMe for the main acc first, you can switch it back easily if nothing happens or things go even worse.
