I really think this so called "DDoS" attack that SE says is slowing the update progress is just a fake. I think SE has received so many calls and complaints that it is using this excuse to shut people up ><...pretty damn convenient that a DDoS attack happens to occur RIGHT after the update. Make up whatever excuse you want SE...I think they just never anticipated this many problems after a 16 hour update and now are just putting the blame on a DDoS attack that doesn't exist!
btw, sorry for the bitterness ppl....i know im not alone in this frusteration >< im addicted and 2 days without playing is killin me XD
