Horrible disconnecting issue, question.

[MacIronhawk]

Lately, well, to be more specific, ever since El Patron's sword went live, I've had horrible connection issues.

Usually I'm fine for the first hour, but then sometimes I'll end up freezing up; seeing my pirate frozen and still hearing music, and then the screen just goes grey. (black but for my vista when I click on something that won't load it turns grey)

Anyways, this has happened four times today, twice within the last ten minutes.

Anyone know how to fix this? I'm pretty sure it's not on my end, but maybe it is. Any advice?
