[2020] Super High Ping on Official Servers

Due to the Covid 19 virus and everyone staying at home, you will see issues that you normally do not see. This is due to the internet not being able to handle all of the people currently at home. The internet itself has extra capacity to handle weekends, holidays, and high traffic hours in the evening. It does not have the capacity to handle everyone working from home, classes online instead of in a classroom, and the normal daily traffic.

Based on my experience with other online games, streaming sites, and my general surfing activities this is a bandwidth issue with the internet itself. One of the games I play actually stated the issues they have experienced are caused by internet traffic and not the servers.

Both Netflix and YouTube have throttled the video quality of their services worldwide. This was done to free up bandwidth.

Thanks for your understanding and apologies for the inconvenience. Hopefully this situation will be resolved soon.
Until then we appreciate you staying civil and respectful
