So some of you might have noticed that Civcraft is having connection issues, the admins where investigating and found that it's not on the servers end, somewhere there is a screwed up routing system that's causing Civ to have connection issues for some people.

This is not anything we can fix and it will probably get resolved once the American holiday ends tomorrow and various network engineers get back to work.

In the meantime though my packets are getting lost, taking a vacation to Europe to find themselves and then making their way to Civcraft.

If you want to know if your having connection problems open a terminal and run "ping mc.civcraft.co -t" for a few minutes, if you get anything other than 0% packet loss when you press ctrl-c to exit it after the time is up you are suffering from this.

tl;dr there's a bug in the interwebs.
