I think they’re doing a slow load (letting only a set few people back into the server at a time as to not overload it). ---

Well it really depends on how long it lasts. But aside from the cost of SP and gametime. CCP wouldn’t have to divert resources from other game things to deal with the server if these attacks wouldn’t happen. ---

That’s because AT&T doesn’t want you to know they are one of the worst internet providers available. Companies with nothing to hide don’t do that. I’m a big fan of a free market - if I don’t like your business methods, I go with a different company. ---
