i'm really hoping it's not a ddos attack

It's only 4 servers. And it's the same ones as last night. And 3 of them are on one datacenter and the other is on a different one. O.o;

It isn't only 4 servers.

Everything should be hosted in Texas!

I also have unbiased support for this notion.

If it was in Texas they probably would have a lot less problems then they have with Canada.

Everything should be hosted in Texas!

Even though, I don't live anywhere near Texas, it would still be a little closer to me than Canada...hah.

it's definitely more than just those four servers. over a hundred people including me got hit with 90k's last night and many have been hit with them today on gilgamesh.

Youp also had 4-5 random DCs on Cerberus last night

Why are the servers in Canada anyway? It seems like such a horribly non-centralized location. Hopefully they migrate or build more servers in the coming year--or maybe the relocation and building of the EU servers will help.
