All 3 world servers and the authentication server went down simultaneously today. I hope this is a sign that things are being worked on, and not an indication of a massive DDoS that broke through. {fingers crossed}

There is no a real reason to provide original hungarian song lyrics for true awesomeness. The rough translations is like this:
"This is just another day—not the end of the world—so don't let it get you down!"

yeah whatever is there a way to play or not? so i dont lose my time trying conncet 20 hours

Just adding my two cents for my fellow gamers. I was unable to login using my home network regardless of the commands I ran.

I discovered however that playing on my mobile hotspot did allow me to instantly connect!

Please implement some functional DDOS protection finally.
Example ...
Let players to log in with catchpa on web and whitelist their public IP for 5-10 minutes for login to server and than extend this whitelisting until player disconnects, all other traffic not whitelisted should be dropped on proxy servers before it can reach actual server. Or something like that. I know this is inconvenient for players, but it is less inconvenient than not be able to log in at all! I know that DDOS protection on web server will be challenge too, but it should be easier than protecting server itself.

All changes You done so far are not efective, most legit players have problem to log in and DDOS attacks are still continuing. This is horrible.
