To all those who do not know:

Inversion / NS2servers.com hosted servers have been experiencing random latency spikes of 999 due to their data center being DDOS attacked in the past week or so.
Tempest, who runs the servers, is on the issue and is doing everything he can. Please be patient in the mean time and thank you for your understanding.

If you are experiencing these issues on non NS2server hardware, please report here with logs/screenshots.

    Is it a reflective attack? If not, have they gotten any traces? This explains a lot of the hitches/stalls I've been getting from a variety of servers recently.

    The DDoS attacks are not aimed at NS2servers.com equipment, it just happens that our equipment is on the same network fabric as some servers that are being targeted. I am working with the data center to mitigate these issues going forward, but for the short term there may be some more packet loss and high latencies until this is fully resolved.
