Looks like Respawn needs a better host provider!
I actually did a traceroute last night while finishing my Networking assignment. Got pretty much the same thing. It would seem their hosting servers are down. And it has been for the past 2-3 days. It did go back up briefly Saturday morning, but then back down the rest of the day. They must have some slow IT people to have the site down this long, or a massive problem. Edit: Just ran it again, went all the way through, site is back up!
If they are using Comcast as their ISP then it is most likely their fault, not Respawn's. Comcast serves League of Legends servers as well, and those have been atrocious for the past couple days, and are only now starting to get better.
Maybe it was a good idea thier forums were down, All i see is whiners demanding respawn ups the count to 8v8 without bots and slagging matches between PC and Xbox players.
Well you have to admit that's not a bad idea about the 8 vs 8 with no bots lol. As far as PC vs. Xbox players I could care less lol
How about that Net Neutrality! @Chaz, Comcast was still waiting for their monthly kickback to "improve" bandwidth to the LoL servers. Stupid ISPs...
