I've seen this issue posted all over the forums... here's what I've noticed:
When my server is having severe lag, it's almost as if the server doesn't load a dynamic zone quick enough for the client. The client gives up waiting and drops the connection.
The only fix I've seen is to have servers with statically-loaded zones. This is a killer on resource though, especially if you're using a large database and map files.
If you're an admin, you can try #zonestatus to see what zones are up, and then #zonebootup <zone server ID from #zonestatus> <zonename> to boot the zone before you go into it. I'd give it about 5 or 10 seconds before you zone in.
