We are currently experiencing technical problems with some of our core systems. This is caused by an internet routing issue at one of our main facilities.
It means some players will be unable to login to the game, and it is also affecting other systems like the friendlist, and some parts of our website.
We have contacted our ISP and are working on fixing this ASAP. We apologize for the inconvenience.
To the affected players - your accounts are fine, and will start working again as soon as we can get the routing issue resolved.
Case closed. Go outside, take a breather and you'll be just fine. They'll come back online sooner or later.
