Well, that explains why I got booted and couldn't connect to FFXI.

Wow, we had some nasty lag spikes in crawler's nest and then suddenly noticed all the other parties were gone so we went to town on the beetles. Hey, usually I'm the one kicked by this stuff! :)

After you and Ead logged off, the lag got really bad... then suddenly my connection dropped. After trying to reconnect for a while, I hit the POL site and saw that all the servers were down.

Glad it made your partying easier for a while, though! :)
