API Features Offline

Due to what appears to be a DDOS underway against SOE services I've disabled API integration for now because it was bringing down the site.

I was wondering why they would be targeting PSU but now this explains why you were having issues.

Yea they aren't hitting us directly, just broke our stuff indirectly

Sigs will also be broken till the issue ends.

It appears the issue is resolved but I'm going to leave it off a bit longer just in case.

Everything is back to normal now.

Checked their twitter cause I read an article about them going after some twitch streamer (phantomlord) that played League of Legends. Appears they decided to go after SoE as well.

That is pretty FU. Club Penguin targetted too? Yeah, lets stuff up the kids... what a bunch of no hoper loosers.

Yea this is what a little knowledge and the anonymity of the internet gets you.

It's hard to believe that the police are still falling for the "swat" prank. People who call in such a prank should do a min of 5 years hard time. Just a matter of time before someone loses a kid or a parent and should that ever happen, the pranker should get the death penalty. Period. I have no sympathy for such a person. None.

Well, thanks for posting about it. I was in the dark until I saw this thread. Been reading about it today and watched the hour long video from PhantomL0rd about what happened.

I was playing PS2 when this happened. The server lag/latency was bad. I logged out of the game then went to check the website to see what was going on. Couldn't get to the website. Then tried to get to this site and had troubles too... Then couldn't log back in to PS2... I got distracted by something else and came back later and everything was fine...
