Default Recent Problems with Icons and Away Status

Hi got two problems that started after the most recent updates and not sure if its just me or its anyone else:

1.) Minor one thats kinda annoying and possible bad if people are looking for me...

Randomly during the game, the Guild window will list me as not being on... it happens sporadically, doesn't depend on whether or switch characters or not, just happens in the middle of playing. I can still talk and PM people, and they can read it and I can receive from them, but it just shows up as if I am setting my friends list status to offline. I am not sure if this is just me, as I have yet to see what the friends status is when I find myself "offline", so I might just be quickkeying that status by accident. I have not yet been able to test that though, was checking to see if anyone else was having the same problems.

2.) The larger problem imho:

I am getting delay on icons displaying, either my body graphic, skill icons, or item icons showing up in my inventory, and whenever I move something it delays showing up as well. This only started happening after the most recent update, and I was wondering if other people had this oddity happen as well. Sometimes it takes a good 10 seconds for the icons to show up. I was considering it a problem of my RAM as well, as I recently (a couple weeks ago) upgraded to 1.25 GB, but it was working fine before the updates this week (either the first Canthan New Year update or one other before that). I am running two different sticks of memory, one 1GB stick and one 256MB stick of different companies but of the same speed (DDR 333 2700). Not sure if that has anything to do with that but it was a speculation. If someone else is having this problem though since the recent updates please state so, I have a weird feeling its due to either the updates or my memory. This could also be server lag but I always put my blame on that (whether my side or theirs) last.


Again, all these problems started over the last week week after the newest updates. Thanks!

Not sure about problem #2, but I am having the same problem with problem #1.

My status is usually set to "online", but I think ever since they did the update a few days ago for the Canthan New Year, it seems that about every 10-15 minutes or so, my status changes to "offline". On the Guild Screen [G], it shows offline, but on the Friend's list [N], it shows my status as being "online". It is strange. Its not like a problem that will kill me, but like you said, it is annoying if someone tries to PM me, they get the "offline" message.

If you just change the status under your friends list to away then back to online, or whatever... it fixes the problem. It is a bit annoying, but it at least solves it.
