A quick update to this - most connectivity issues have been resolved at this point. If you continue to have connection issues, please make sure everything on your end of the wire is working properly.
Towards the end of last week we started to see various issues with server and website stability. Our investigations into this revealed that we were being held victim to a number of DDoS attacks on our servers which affected both game and website stability. Unfortunately, as we have mentioned in the past, attacks of these kind aren't something we can completely safeguard against due to their unpredictable and sudden nature. However, we have been working tirelessly to resolve the bulk of these attacks by closing any potential holes that are being used by the hackers to destabilize our services.
One of the largest changes we are making will be happening this week with some back-end modifications to the hardware we use for our servers. This new hardware should improve server performance and stability, and, going forward, we hope to see improvements over current service with these changes.
I would like to apologize to you guys for the inconvenience caused, and rest assured that our teams will continue to work to make sure that situations like these do not rise again in the future.
Thank you!
