Their last update was this past Saturday and as of the writing of this, there has been no confirmation that things got stable enough to get the game back online.
DDoS or denial-of-service attack is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to a network.
Normally this is used by hackers as a form of protest or just “messing around” and this appears to be the case as no hacking group have claimed responsibility or a reason for doing this.
A new form of game rage though?
