Bug?/Intentional?: Disconnected at similar times

For 2 weeks I've noticed something odd that has been happening at a certain time of night. And usually in the middle of a mission or dungeon. It has happened between 1100pm-1130pm(CST) every time.

We are in the middle of a mission and we start to get the slow down or freeze indications. In a couple minutes we get the old you have lost connection to the server message and would we like to reconnect. We try to reconnect but we end up having to re-login and all our progress on the mission is gone. We were in hard mode last night in a Tyria mission when the latest one occured. We were on teamspeak at the time and didn't lose connection to the internet.

Here's a question: Is GW starting to kick people off the system after a certain duration, making them re-login? I always ignore the "You've been on for 3 hours, please take a break" message. I'll be getting off pretty close to that timing anyway, but it is really annoying to be right near the end of mission and get disconnected.

Any info?

Thanks

Does it happend every night that you dc between thoose times?

Also GW doesnt kick / make people relogg after X hours.

If you guys still were on teamspeak, while GW told that you had no connection sounds kinda strange :S

So far it has happened every night at about the same time. Both my friends experienced it at the same time. We're kind of theorizing that something is being updated on some server(not necessarily GW's) somewhere and we get disconnected. It's weird how it is at the same time every time. We may never figure it out.

Massive is correct.

You'll probably want to call your internet provider and ask them, since it's nothing on GW's end.

No bug. But instead of closing, I'll move this to Technician's Corner, in case you need more help.

Oops...closed it by accident. Back open now!

Similar thing was happening to me. At 8.49pm on the dot every night I would disconnect for a minute or two. Turns out it was my ISP doing some sort of maintenance.

It's not GW disconnecting you - some times, when I get those "You've been playing for 6 hours" messages, I wish it would.

You didn't give any info on who "we" is, but I suspect that you are all living in the same area and going through the same hub somewhere.
