I have a feeling the issues we have all been experiencing will go away very soon once @CliffyA has had his morning 
Possibly another dev with a hotline to the server provider 
Happy Xmas (Lag is Over)
Popping in to let you know that Cliffy looked into this closely and found nothing wrong or degraded about our server performance. It looks like this is an outside issue.
What is an “outside issue?” then? Please explain
We don’t know what this one is specifically.
Examples in the past have been internet providers going out of business, cyber attacks, new internet censorship laws that restrict access to specific content or games, etc. Sometimes outages happen in specific areas or countries.
Ok, thanks for the reply.
