Given the fact that Sonic Team only budgeted enough server capacity for 20,000 simultaneous online users, the game's popularity is part of the reason people are having problems connecting during peak hours. Credit goes to Killuminati ("user.php?op=userinfo&uname=Killuminati" ) for spotting this news.
