Wow, I just logged on to play a bit before starting all the Thanksgiving prep and the game is pretty much unplayable right now (9:30ish am). I was on for about 2 minutes and got the communication error message 4 times. I didn't actually have to keep logging back in, but spent more time waiting for the message to scroll than I did actually playing. I sure hope they can fix this. I will try again later.
Yeah, it'll probably settle down as the days go on, or they'll fix the servers. There's probably just such a flood of people coming on that they're overwhelmed.
I missed out early in the morning because I had issues with the error from 7pm last night to around 8-9 this morning. Even now I sometimes still get DCed.
I know it's because they're overloaded from all the fans, so I'm not upset about it, but it's unfortunate! I've missed a couple animal rotations over it I hope it gets fixed soon and not worse with the holidays.
