Enter a specific channel and it will stop jumping you from place to place.

Honestly while the text can be annoying its just a minor nuisance that occurs. Its a little bit of a pain but as of right now it really shouldn't be to much of a bother in the game since you can't trade with people currently. I do believe if your in a party though the game attempts to keep everyone logged in the same channel although I'm not 100% certain of this.

It's something about moving you to the channel that's best for your internet connection.

I'm having a feeling its more along the lines of, 'Our servers are dying, and we need to balance people by throwing them around.'
Then again, this function is in KR, so...

No, because you can still manually enter like 137 or some other random number and it's deserted.
They really only ever take you as far as like the first thirty.
I think they get too many people in one place and then switch you to another to try to help your lag.

Yeah, it seems like all the channels from 100~200 are all empty and stable. And if your channel's stable, it seems like the game won't try to move you around as much..
Lol, if you randomly changed channels while trading <_< That'd be horrible. It happens during my conversations in All Chat..

Huh? What trading?
It moves you to random channels to cut down on graphical lag with too many players on screen at once, I assume. Doesn't matter how powerful your system is, everything has a limit. Since they're not going to individually screen each person's system specs, they just assume you will lag and move you around. Either way what difference does it make? Unless you're cybering or want to be e-cute and sit next to your e-girlfriend for 4 hours in town, channels are meaningless.

Beiber, maybe it's because I changed to channel with few people in it, I don't know, but when I do it, I never get changed to a different one :X
Also, zippo, e-cute, I lol'd, never heard that before xD

i never get moved when i move into a channel in the hundreds, so i just assumed they move you around in the first 20 channels, like when you first log in
