Hey @everyone,
We're aware that some players are experiencing higher ping than usual this evening. We've been in touch with our hosting provider, and they've identified the cause.
There's currently a large DDoS attack targeting another customer in the same datacenter. While the attack isn't directed at our game, it's causing some collateral network congestion that's affecting routing to EU players.
What we know:
- Our server is running normally
- UK/local players unaffected
- Hosting provider is actively mitigating the attack
The hosting team is working to neutralize the attack and restore normal routing. These situations typically resolve within a few hours as mitigation measures take effect.
We'll keep you updated as we hear more from the provider. Thanks for your patience!
Best regards,
Team Pokémon Blaze Online
