When one game has high server traffic to the point where there are massive latency issues, it happens to be affecting the other game as well. Dragon Nest's population has been EXPLODING over the summer as a result of two very big back to back updates.
All the games share some common databases; the Nexon accounts for example.
Even if they're all running on distinct hardware though, they could all share the same network congestion. There's many things that can cause a shared/simultaneous disruption without this necessarily having to be the case.
Players should not focus on trying to identify the root cause and lobbying for a specific thing to be fixed so much as pressuring the company to find it and fix the impact it's causing, otherwise you run the risk of sending them off after a red herring that costs them money and only earns them more annoyance and frustration if they fix the wrong thing because they kept being told it was the problem.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
