Babel server unstable

Just before and around midnight (GMT) we had a spate of hackers then a load of disconnects on babel. I was not disconnected but about half the server were. I did notice a load of new players joining around that exact same time and also getting disconnects, I did not recognise any of these ‘new’ joining players names at all. Bajanmonkey was also on at this time and he said he got a disconnect.

Twice today two major disconnects but surprisingly I was one of the couple that the server didn’t kick.

thanks Kikk, it seems the current issue is an upper level network issue not specific to the babel server. we’re looking into it, should be resolved soon.

from our data center:

“Over the weekend our network experienced several short periods of degraded performance due to an equipment issue with one of our upstream providers which caused high CPU load and other issues on our routers. The equipment problem has subsequently been resolved and our network has been running optimally since that time.”
