You either need new servers or you need to examine your network infrastructure because one or the other (or both) is falling as far short of acceptable as it's possible to be. The game is UNPLAYABLE between 1900 - 2300 hrs UK time.

Yes it is great that ze Germans can play with us, but NOT at the expense of actually being able to play!

The lag is just stupid. Your servers do not appear to be able to cope and this has been going on since the merge. As it is, unless I see a marked improvement soon I am going to have to cancel my 5 accounts; I am not prepared to play for a stutterfest.

I'd urge any other players experiencing similar issues to send feedback to the usual address. For all the good it will do.

100% this. WTF is going on? How can they not know how unplayable this game is in the evening? I've submitted feedback almost daily - haven't even had a response, so don't hold your breath.

It's difficult to know whether their network can't cope with the number of players, or their servers can't cope with the number of players, but it's definitely a number of players issue. I played during the morning one day late last week and there was no lag at all - it was fine.

I suspect they have pared back their hardware too much.

Oh look! Almost 9PM and the game is unplayable again! FFS! I'll vote with my feet - farewell, cruel world!
