beach: These complaints keep going around for some weeks now, and I understand that it is a real nuisance (I left another site because of it).
But - I had no issues all day. Of course I wasn't playing every single minute, but whenever I tried, it worked well (and I tried often).
I think it is something in the internet's structure like DNS or whatever magic failing that affects large parts of the world intermittently, but the site itself _is working_ fine, believe it or not.
