    You can't logon to the main map, just tried it but the instances still work and/or trap you afterwards as if you were stuck in an infinate "leaving instance" loop

    Yep, verified it with some testing, and other players. The server is most likely set to GM/Admin only mode. Making it so nobody can be on the main map. You're right though, there is a "switch" that controls that on the server. I don't think it was ****, but it may have glitched or who knows, Angry GM? XD

    it was probably the DDOS again, maybe the hacker found some glitch in the sever software that he exploited. The server is modular and the maps are separated, they can be switched on and off independantly. Due high load usualy the process which takes the most resourses is killed, that is always the main world map. it could be done on purpose too, to stop the hackers flood attaks. we can only speculate at this point.. i hope this thing gets resolved soon
