That does sound like lag, and a very probable possibility on a dial-up connection. When the client can't find new chat messages to display (you can check this by sending a chat of your own, it has to go to the server first) until the "stick" is over, then it's most likely lag. Might be your ISP too, what company are you with? Something might be bad on their end, causing a few seconds of disconnection. For a while I had a similar problem, my internet would disconnect completely and I experienced symptoms similar to the ones you are describing. Only difference is, I'd never get back in, my internet would die and then I'd play "Twiddle the Thumbs" until it came back.

Connection speed is irelevant with this problem, Ive had it happen too, and Im on a broadband(gigabit) connection. I think the reason is the packet info is running into a slow spot somewhere along the line. Probably bad routing, see if you can do a trace to see the path youre taking to get to the server.

This happens to me alot, thought it was just coz I'm on a laptop.
Happened lastnight doing Reversing the scales, lasted about 30-45sec when it came back 2 executioners and Lord whats-his-name were dead.

Sometimes I end up dead tho, specially when it happens when you got a bleeding spell/condition on you.
