I hope that SE either gets their ducks in a row to fix the problem, or even figures out the actual cause

i wish they would also tell us what the issue is, but from the looks of it, all SE is good at is hiding information (thought i don't blame them, who would want to announce they made a EA games mistake *sims launch that required internet, and NOT be able to handle the traffic*)

but this lag is getting more and more ridiculous as of late
