ahh phew...I thought this might be punishment for trying out Hidden Forest server (which is a ton of fun...but all risk is gone)

[notahipster]

if you read the post above you it says an hour or so. (:

[jakkin]

noticed the same here - wasn't too sure if it was just me and my client, i'll be back in an hour for all the funz!!!

[malroth69]

was kinda funny(for me), logged in and immediately saw the broadcast "server coming down in 15 minutes". I was like 'What the....." lol. Didn't know people were losing the characters though, glad they are fixing it as quickly as they are. Never see this kind of support from the big companies, now this is a service I would gladly pay for lol

Guys! Guys! OMG! Because the server is down, I opened the big thing that has a doorknob on it and get this......outside is pretty cool!!!!

[Extunarian]

Does this mean sony will be doing a 25% xp bonus?

[Nuggie]

lol Jorg.

So for those of us that aren't as tech savy as the rest of you... what is a packet injection? the creepy chat guy doing his thing?

@nuggie I don't know how they have everything set up, but basically the attacker would be sending malicious data packets to the server from a program that is not the EQ client.

p99 downtime after attack: 30 mins
sony downtime after hack: Q2

[Geoduck]

Has anyone had their characters restored yet? Mine is still MIA.
