Outages Today
As you might be aware, many of the IRE games have experienced outages today both on our websites and the games themselves. This is due to an ongoing DDOS attack.
We're fortunate that as of this writing Lusternia itself hasn't yet gone down, but it is possible that in the incoming hours we may do so. We have also already seen outages on our website and, correspondingly, the Nexus client.
We are working to do what we can to solve this across all of IRE, but currently do not have a projected timeline. I will be posting updates here and to our social media in the coming hours as soon as we get any. There is a bot in the Unofficial Lusternia Discord channel which syndicates our Twitter feed, so you'll also hear it there.
Thank you all for bearing with us.

It looked for a moment like we were stabilising but the attack is unfortunately still ongoing. We're doing everything we can to get the affected games back up, but it's a difficult task.
Lusternia remains online as of this posting.
Things have fortunately now stabilised and all of our games are back online. Lusternia did not go down, and there was no loss of data across any of the games.
We are working on some solutions to ensure that this does not happen in the future.
