The lag, dropped connections and vanishing games have been pretty bad
on USEast for the last few weeks. From what I see here on agd I
assume it's similar on West and probably elsewhere. I've lost good
stuff muling, had team games blow away, had to redo quests, etc. The
only positive side of the execrable condition of what Blizzard rather
optimistically refers to as its "servers" is that unlike the lag in
the first few months of the ladder season, at the end of it you don't
take several seconds worth of damage in a quarter of a second and lose
your high-level HC chars.

I'm finding on West that some servers are laggy and others are fine. I
assume it's the dupers at work. Makes a mockery of the "Connecting to
fastest server" screen. I was doing a few NM minion runs last night to level
my chanter and BO slave and some games were just atrocious, click the stash
and wait 2 minutes. Other games were fine. It seems that it just depends
which server you're on. However, it becomes a PITA changing (Starting a new
game) if I find a laggy one when I have four PCs in the game and have just
gone around and partied everyone up..... Especially when the next game can
often be the same.

Blizz really need to get on top of this. Unless they are deliberately
encouraging dupers by putting impossible-to-make runewords in the game so
that dupers will lag the servers and drive all the D2 users away, maybe to
P2P games like WoW?

That's what I'm thinking.
