DoW recently switched from Vent to TS, after some stability problems with Vent (client-side, not server-side). We're having a lot of problems with TS too, tho - mostly disconnects, probably once or twice a day on average.
My memory of the old F8 server is that disconnects or short outages were also frequent, but more like once a week on average - much better than what DoW is currently experiencing.
How's TS working out for you guys now? What server provider are you using? I can find good things and bad things to say about both TS and Vent, but this instability is really too much for us to tolerate.
