The outage was exactly during the time that the Amazon cloud service went down. That is a mighty coincidence.

It's plausible that EA would lie about this and pretend "one of their servers" went down instead, because if it's a cloud service, it is using Amazon's infrastructure and performance could be scaled up to be less than AGONIZINGLY SLOW. That is, after all, the business model of hosting stuff in the cloud.

The conclusion would be that EA is too stingy to pay a few bucks a month more to provide services that do not feel like you are communicating with Mars, latency wise.

If they actually host their own servers, it would be incompetence. If they host with Amazon, there is no incompetence excuse for not scaling up performance.

they host on 3 speerate networks, amazon services (3 dynamic load sensing servers under a singler external ip for each connection used by both me3 and origin) a secondary setup used purely by origin and ps3 under limelight networks (exactly the same) and a 3rd tied in system soley for 360 and origin,

oh yeah they use all 3 to provide forum accesss as well, and well 90% of hte mirrors time for bsn thankfully is via limelight (there stability is at least better)

and ea should of known about the outage to amazon services since it was planned ot take there cloud down for sometime

and another thing, ea used ot have there own servers (physically owned and operated one server room in evry country where they operated) now its all the much hyped cloud system provided by 3rd parties

so they no longer have control over how the load sensing etc is done but it does provide them a much cheaper operating network and provide them wiht far greater reach (amazon is operating in far mor countries than EA ever did) making them a far larger international games pressence...

cloud systems -yuck- they were never any good for anything other than file shareing even back in the early 90's before "cloud" was a new buzzword.
