Dear Players,
Last night we experienced a concentrated DDoS attack against our services with resulted in a temporary loss of service.
Unfortunately attacks of these kinds aren't something we can completely safeguard against due to their unpredictable and sudden nature.
Out IT and production teams have been hard at work overnight shutting down potential avenues used by the hackers and will continue to monitor for additional attacks.
We apologize to our loyal players for the inconvenience caused.
The Nexon Team

Now who the hell is DDoSing Nexon now. Granted a lot of people do hate Nexon for various reasons so the who's and why's will probably never be known. But that explains why I was kicked back to the login screen last night.

Thankfully didn't even notice this due to sleeping and working.
I'd say (if they truly did) that they recovered pretty quickly though, I've seen worse. Such as 3 and a half weeks of constant downtimes/wonky servers due to DDoS attacks. (not on Mabi) X_x Let's knock on wood.

I'm hoping this is the reason why I keep getting Invalid ID/Password Errors. Otherwise, I'm royally screwed.

The same thing is happening to me...I know I'm putting in the right password/ ID.

Phew. It's a relief to know I'm not the only one. I checked another community, and some of them are having the same issue.
Apparently, there are people logged in the game right now, but if they log out and attempt to log in, this issue will come up for them too.

Oh okay, I see. I guess I'll play the waiting game...hopefully it won't be to much longer.

I restarted Mabinogi since I had to reboot my computer. Same thing happened to me too now. Kept saying invalid ID or password. After clicking log in 4 more times it did let me get back in so just keep trying?

From my experiences, DDoS attacks tend to happen to several groups at the same time, world-wide. Several days back, SEGA JP recieved a DDoS attack, and PSO2 was affected. A quick look on the World of Warcraft forums is showing lag and crashing issues that have been fairly consistent with DDoS attacks, so I really don't think that Nexon was specifically a target, or anything.
iirc, DDoS'ing the servers has, in the past, allowed hackers an opportunity to gain easier access to information that they should not have.

That would explain my friends being booted from pso2 repeatedly then. We thought it was the proxy at first but then noticed even Japanese players logging back on in large quantities.
