Ten Minutes of Frustration

It seems that the PSU servers have recovered from a major hiccup.

The problem began at about 5:10 PM Eastern time today, when lag became so unbearably bad that the game was only responding every 30-40 seconds. These super-long lag cycles continued until about 5:15, at which point the game stopped responding altogether. I was disconnected two minutes later.

It doesn't look like I'm the only one that was affected by this, either:

(Perhaps this is a glimpse of things to come?)

Things were back to normal around 5:20. Nevertheless, hopefully Sega will provide some information about what happened. I say this because some players are already annoyed enough with the lag. Does this mean that things are getting worse?

UPDATE: Sega GM RubyEclipse reports that the brief outage was an ISP issue.
