South African latency spikes

This isn't a new thing, as we've had this in the past since launch. However, it was fixed for a while but seems to have come back.

From what I understand, there were at some point 7 nodes for those in RSA to connect to, but 5 have been disconnected leaving us with only 2 nodes, for the entirety of South Africa.

In the evenings when everyone comes online, my latency hovers at 70ms for a second and then will suddenly SPIKE to upwards of 1400ms odd (at the highest I've seen). This.. sucks. I can SOMETIMES force a connect to the other node by starting a new instance but that has become less and less reliable the past few days and I have been dying more and more to desync and lag because of this.

Please, GGG, reactivate the nodes.

Sincerely,
A relatively frustrated South African

They removed 2 nodes? Did they not also tell you the ninjas are carrying out ddos attacks?

Was it only 2? Did a fair bit of reading and it seems I was mislead if that's the case.

Either way, it's still an issue I feel.

Yes i was a bit off lol

Ohh and I wasn't saying anything bad towards you. Is meant bad towards ggg because I have same issue and apparently it's ddos. They are lying clearly.

No worries mate, I didn't see any of the comms you are pulling the info from so I genuinely don't know better. I was reading off forums and reddit.. so I was bound to be mislead but I remained hopeful XD

Stupid that it's DDOS. Explains a few things..
