All servers offline for max 25 hours

Another large scale DDOS attack was launched. This one was much bigger than a few weeks ago. As a result the connection has been severed.

I have contacted support to try to see if I can get it online sooner.

I should note that it was aimed at the wcs server exactly the same as from a week or so ago.

same ip?

Well yea the attack is targeted at the ip of the wcs server. This could just be random though, normally when people are DDOSing you they tell you so that your like oh I should not have done X to Y to piss them off. However what is confusing is that we get DDOSed but without deceleration. In addition it is just the game servers and not the website. What ever it is must be very powerful or have a lot of money b/c the data size of the attacks are quite large. Perhaps though it is just some strange network hiccup and a bunch of data got miss routed.

you can't tell the ip it's originating from?
