    Hello all since MA will not post it, I will. This is most likely due to our major lag this weekend:

    DDoS of unprecedented scale 'stops Sweden working'. The target? A gaming site

    http://www.zdnet.com/article/ddos-of...a-gaming-site/

    Most systems seem to be working find but the few systems in sweden seem to be slowing most of all the other systems down and that being the Chat server and the client loader client information server. So yes, this last weekend has been off and on with speed issues this points to the most sense since it started about the time the DDoS attacks started and was reported by ZDNet.

    Rumors are they targeted Electronic Arts for some reason. But yeah could very well be the source of the trouble.

    Such bullshit. This event occurred over a period of two days early last week. That's some extreme latency if we see the problems this weekend.
