Well, here's what I can add... on East, earlier this evening, lines were 1700+, though they seemed to move more quickly than usual. Around 9:30 or so, though, my ping went to hell... I've tried to start several games since then, and my ping is still awful (600-1000), but the line is only 300 games or so. So it definitely seems as if Blizz has done *something*... hopefully, though, whatever it is isn't also the cause of my ping problems...
