Same here. Where I usually play with an average ping of 190/200 (from Brazil), my average now is 500/700, with 2 or 3k spikes. It is unplayable. This happened before, and I had to miss the ENTIRE haloween event because of it. I quit the game for about 2/3 weeks, and when I tried again, it was fine. But now it started again. Am I going to miss the Christmass event as well? Please, Anet, this is a SERIOUS issue with your new servers, and this HAS to be fixed NOW. PS.: I asked on general chat and a lot more people were experiencing it from other parts of the world (Russia, France, etc).
