Last night saw a record 42,500 simultaneous players! As a result a few of our servers were getting low on spare bandwidth.

To make sure all these extra players doesn't cause the game to lag we have just purchased some extra bandwidth at the busiest locations, so it should be working much better now. We'll also continue to keep an eye on the bandwidth use to make sure we always have enough.
