Diablo II used to have awesomely evil lag spikes in the early versions, getting abouve level 50 in hardcore mode was sheer impossible due to the oft 10 second round trips to the servers on battle.net . I once had a 7 minute episode of 5-10 second ping... and I was out in Act IV somewhere... needless to say my hardcore character died, but it took a good 10 minutes before she dropped.
My point is though that anyone that plays MMOs will have issues of some kind, whether it is software, connection or anything else.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!"
