Ah, a while back, maybe in the other Vindictus thread, I posted a method to better your hosting.
Edit: Here it is.
TrunksX:
Requirements: A router, a brain.
*If you already know how to port forward, skip to Step 5*
Step 1: Go to Start > Search/Run and type CMD.
Step 2: Type in ipconfig. Copy down your Default Gateway and your IPv4
Step 3: Open your web browser and put your Default Gateway in the address bar (it may ask for a password, if you don't know it then Google "Default Password [insert router type here]" If the default password doesn't work, then ask your family if they know it. As a last resort, hold down the small reset button on the router with a pen for a minute. Reconnect then try the default password again.)
Step 4: Go to the Application(or similar) tab and find Port Forward(or Port Range Forward).
Step 5: You are going to forward 2 ports. Name them both Vindictus as a reminder of what they're for.
1) Start: 27000
End: 27025
Protocol: TCP
IP Address: Type in your IPv4
2) Start: 47611
End: 47611
Protocol: TCP
IP Address: Do the same as above
Enable them and save.
This will not completely fix the decrease in your hosting performance as time goes on after a maintenance, however this does decrease the lag that results from it. Also, it will not improve your own connection in someone else's party, only everyone else's connection in your own party.
