Well the servers have never been perfect. Seems like those with sketchy internet and latency speeds tend to attract more problems, but I've had nowhere near the number of problems others have.
However, since the event started, there's been around 5 instances where I've had to restart the game. Even now I can't even log into the game to play, and I'm 5 fragments short of my first ox soul. I imagine that this is even worse for others but I thought I'd open this for those who are having similar problems. Perhaps of they get a look at everyone's issue at once, they'll actually take it into account.
