Lockjaw down as well just as I was getting ready to play. Noticed I couldn't send any tells , managed to get off one /ooc Server Crash Imminent then it went down
actually completely unresponsive now, just stuck in limbo in game hehe. attack for the big bait and switch scam daybreak pulled with landmark more than likely
Didn't read the whole thread, so dunno if someone mentioned this, and I guess I just heard DB tweeted they are looking into it (read: calling the datacenter and asking WTF), but it feels exactly like a DDoS. Based on our own limited insight into the problem, level3 itself might be having issues. Tracerts to level3.net point to the same thing. Here is level3's outage map (third party information source) http://downdetector.com/status/level3/map/ If level 3 is getting hit or having issues, thats bad, mmkay. May not be a single thing DB can do about it. Take this all with a grain of salt.
I don't think it's directed at EQ since the forums still work. Past DDoS attacks against eq usually took the forums down with the game.
