Since it was the server itself (according to them) it may not have required a client side patch to fix. We'll see, though.. gonna log in now, find the most populated server.. and race my bishada through pedestrians to test for lag
Edit: Scratch that. I AFK'd my enforcer for free ranks via fashionista/tuner and my char was never disconnected all night or day. So they didn't even take down the servers for a server fix.. I'm more skeptical
Edit #2, lol: Well according to the launcher at least, they did indeed tweak the action districts. Of course I get the same 1k lag spikes in social, so dunno what they think they did. Pasted from launcher news:
EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE 23/07/2010: The action districts will be unavailable between 13:00 EDT / 10:00 PDT until 13:15 EDT / 10:15 PDT. This is to make some changes to the server configuration. This will potentially address the latency issues players are experiencing. After the downtime is completed, we'll be looking for feedback on whether the latency problems are still occurring for you.

I think my comp is running good because I was in the beta and the game was fixed a lot based on the massive amount of info I was constantly sending them
