Fallen London has been on the slow side for me for at least a day now. I can barely get the page tp load, and even then the buffering on actions is raising my wounds to eight!
I'm assuming FL is just getting a lot of traffic since Penstock's Elevator of Sadness, Easy-Mode to Lodgings, and Dreams opened again recently.

Yeah... I have sent an email to Failbetter to ask for an extension of the first phase of the Noman's pricing.

I've heard that the patches for Meltdown and Spectre can slow down computers, web servers included. My wild guess would be that, assuming that their servers have been patched, that they are not getting the same speed out of their machines as they used to, and that Fallen London is going to be a little sluggish until they can get more server resources online.
Just my guess though.

I highly doubt that.
First, the supposed slowdown from the Meltdown OS patches (there's no patch yet for Specter) is mostly theoretical at this point. It was observed in some specific old CPUs running artificial test applications which do nothing but system calls.
Second, if this was indeed related, you'd just see a minor (yet annoying) lag. You wouldn't see the site lagging so much that it's practically unresponsive.
Third, if these OS patches would have caused such a lag for cloud apps, you'd see this lag in a hell of a lot more of the web than just Fallen London.
Just my opinion without further knowledge of FBG's infrastructure.

It's lagging again at this time of writing - there is a delay of one minute for the response to any user input.
I am pinging the Storynexus domain for Fallen London and all of the ping packets timed out.

I can hardly play at this point. It's incredibly annoying.

I can't get the site to load at all right now. Tried two different browsers and on my tablet. (I mean, I should be in bed already anyway seeing as I need to be up for work in six hours. But my deck was going to be full!) Prior to the current brokenness it was very slow but usable.

The site loaded very slowly (and kept crashing) for me most of yesterday, but it's only a little slow now.

I also had some horrible lag for about two or three days, it suddenly worked normally when I got on today.

It was better for much of today.
Now it's not better.

I strongly suspect that the site is getting overloaded by everyone launching a full-scale assault on Penstock's Wicket to try and get their Noman before the price rises.

For I was hungry, and you gave me rats. I was thirsty, and you gave me rats. I was naked, and you gave me rats. The rodents were gathered together, the cats slept in the Sun’s blindness, and the rats rose like the Moon, in the light at the edge of the cheese.
