I've been having trouble with connectivity for weeks, i keep getting the Bart screen. But i was at least able to play the game.
I just now was playing, an noticed a significant slow down in my game. It got much worse at exactly 10edt, which is 7pdt, and is very possibly an indicator they're doing a maintenance or hardware swap or similar, because that's typically when these things are scheduled. I've worked in many data centers, as well as coordinated outages with California teams, and this is frequently when major upgrade services are scheduled.
So hopefully by Monday we'll have some kind of improvement. Cross your fingers, pray to the Skyfinger, etc, that they've been working on a problem, and not just abandoning the platform.
