Definitely GameSpy has deteriorated in the last few weeks. Now I have much longer login times, longer join times, longer hosting times, longer for all in a game to get to 100% connect and then sometimes the game locks up there (never had that before in vi), more drops, more disconnect from server after a battle. It all adds up to a lot of wasted time, and it's getting to be more time than I can afford. You can easily spend 2 hrs trying to get a 4v4 game going. It doesn't take that long if you are willing to just jump into any game, but an arranged game is very hard to get started these says because of all the dropping and difficulty getting logged back on after a drop when most of the players in the game get blown off the server when they exit a game that had to be restarted.
