Since the server was moved to Amsterdam, my ping has been fluctuating a lot. I first noticed the change today, and I assume this is currently the best option for DDoS protection. However, my ping has increased from around 180–190 ms to 280–290 ms.

Has anyone else noticed this change?

I don't know if it's related to the server change or it's a new DDOS, but my ping when I log in today is about 5k, and I get disconnected within a minute. Played fine ten hours ago though

Edit: After about half an hour of false starts it seems to have stabilized and my ping has dropped from a 5k average to about 700. I did move my VPN location closer, so that might have helped. Or the issue I was having may have simply been a temporary one

I don't think the server has moved yet. Here is an announcement thread from yesterday where they reference server migration and that it hasn't occurred yet.

I typically sit around 180-190ms as well and apart from the DDOS attacks I've been in that range.
