Edit:

Basically sockets are connection ports to a server. If too many people try to connect to a single socket, it drops some of the attempted connections or it underperforms. You can think of them like doorways into a house. If too many people try to enter the doorway at once, you can't all fit.
Because there's so many people trying to connect to the default socket, it can't handle the traffic adequately (it used to not be able to handle them at all and many people couldn't connect).

You change the socket by going to account settings (little arrow by your name at the top) and selecting "alternate" near the bottom where it says "faire game socket".
