Massive lag reported from everyone in all areas right now. 5-20 second skill delays, log in delays and even the forum site is incredibly sluggish. Really seems like a ‘Distributed Denial of Service’ DDoS attack.

Over the last couple of days, we are aware that there have been connectivity and latency issues. Our team is continuing to investigate the matter.

It generally is not necessary to submit a ticket or make a forum post about such a situation because, due to our careful monitoring of our game servers, we learn of such matters nearly instantly.

I have sent tickets and I have opened a thread in this forum about my issues but everyone who replied was having the server attack issues (which didn’t help me at all). Also this thread got attention from Gaile so I thought I would post here.

Continue to discuss with a Technical Support agent, please. This thread is intended to collect various posts about recent service interruptions.

Thanks for understanding.

Unkillable — You are welcome to submit a ticket and discuss what seems to be an individual issue with Technical Support. Clearly this thread is about a very recent occurrence, not a situation that has been ongoing for 2+ weeks.
