			Was just in game and was booted. Now we can no longer connect. I've confirmed the same with multiple guildies. 	
----
			Booted from Thunderfoot just as someone pulled scorchwing before everyone was there and ready....	
----
			^This

Ja, all my characters are on rowsdowner.
 
Kinda a downer.
 
Sidenote: What is a rowsdowner ingame?	
----
			
Booted from Mikros about 5 minutes ago.
 
Can authenticate but it's stuck on "Retrieving Characters" until it times out.
 
Appropriate that the graphic is a hamster wheel.	
----
			lol its the Ram looking animals I believe.

Says online...
 	
----
			Also booted but from Thunderfoot. Can log back in but gets stuck at retrieving characters for a short period then network time out.	
----
			
Battle Net is going through DDOS today... several times so far.
 
Probably a DDOS attack... by morons with nothing else to do.	
----
			
*sigh*
 
These outages are apparently brought to you by the FOTM internet jerk-crew again.
Try not to rage too much, you're feeding their troll-egos.	
----
			Yeah same here. Rowsdower, in Whitevale, waiting for Nothingness actually. Now can't get passed authentication.	
----
			
Same for me and wife on Thunderhoof.  Was standing by Toxicologist Poxic in Galeras and servers dropped.  Upon attempting to log back in, server gets stuck while retrieving characters.
 
 
Just as a FYI, that's not a hamster in that wheel.  It's a chompacabra. :huh:

lol, script kiddies bored on a weekend, if it really is them doing it.

I don't know if they can see how much attention they're getting just by people clicking (as opposed to following) their Twitter.
If they can't see the traffic to Twitter, feel free to look for the relevant account and see for yourself.
 
If they can see how many people are checking out their "mad skills" though, I recommend against it.

I couldn't care less about them. Doesn't take much "skill" to DDOS something anyway. I'll just go play something else while they sperg out a bit.
----
			Same issues just happened on Mikros, about 10 minutes ago.  Everyone in my guild is also seeing the Character screen image posted above.	
----
			Same for me and my partner on Mikros.   Kicked out and haven't been able to retrieve characters  since about 7:20 pacific time.	
----
			
Yeah i just came back from a month gone and wanted to play (I kept my sub going and i bought 4 CREDDS). I am not a plight to the game.
 
I just wanna kill shit!	
----
			You know they are getting DDOS becase they dont merge the servers, if they would jsut do it the nerds would get back to playing and would stop DDOSing them	
----
			It's not so bad as a DDOS, NCSoft just forgot to pay AOL for the 300 baud lines used to run the game.  They're currently on hold with tech support to straighten it out, but getting a hold of anyone who can fix any problem at AOL is a monumental undertaking almost as difficult as successfully cancelling an account.	
----
			Same for me. Grrr.
