We would like to thank you all for your patience while we worked through the connection issue. As of this update the problem seems to be under control and most of you are playing happily (including many of us here).
We still intend to push the second code fix sometime next week, which we hope will add even more stability to the servers.
We would like to again extend our apologies to those of you who were inconvenienced by this and thank you for all of your patience while we corrected the problem.
