Rough Day on Saturday June 27th?

I'm posting this here instead of as a bug report, because we haven't seen these problems before in our previous five sessions, and are just wondering if anyone else had a bad day this past Saturday. The server status page showed all happy servers, but our group of three kept losing audio/video. Also my own session kept crashing when I switched to a different "battleboard." This just after I'd been on Facebook and G+ talking about how I never have a/v problems with Roll20! We fiddled around for a while, but one player just gave up and left. I'm going to try and convince my non-Gmail players to set up an account, and have Hangouts as a backup option, but tell me, was our Saturday experience a lone incident, or have others had trouble? Thanks for any feedback from the community!

We had a lot of lag, probably just due to traffic, everything worked, it just got very slow for players on the US East coast.

I've found for hosting purposes Roll20 is fine. Until you add in the voice system. It has 1-3 second lag (so an effective ping of 1000) whereas my skype has the typical 100 ping (so less than 1 sec). I have people I game with completely unable to combine Skype with Roll20 in any capacity as well, causing one or the other to crash. Until things improve or they find a problem they can fix. I would recommend not using multiple aspects of Roll20 at once. Use it for hosting the game, but not the voice aspect. It's buggy, but improving. I know, I'm not being constant. But I'd stick to Skype/Vent/Teamspeak etc for vocals and stick to Hangout or Roll20 for the dice/text side of things. (Disclaimer, I use Roll20 daily don't hate on me mods) As for Saturday, there was a multitude of problems for Americans due to weather. You may want to check where your players are and where the weather had hit worst. Some people I know were without power for 6+ hours. Others got power/internet in doses.

This is the easiest way to historically see when we've had server issues: <a href="http://status.roll20.net/" rel="nofollow">http://status.roll20.net/</a> Doesn't look like there were any major outages on that date.
