now i wished i had a just stayed logged in! or maybe like someone already said the hackers have come, this is the end we'll all log back in and we'll be stripped off all gear and gil!ah well patience patience:}

Im on PC so its an all around problem im guessing :/
Not PS2/PS3/XBOX.

That would be kindof neat lol.
Seeing as Titan's economy sucks atm lol, we could make money off of farming again lol

Sadface! ; ;

-if- they solve the hacking problem, assuming that is the case, it's worth it :)

its funny we all so addicted we'll sit here waiting for servers be back on instead goign and doing somethign else in rl.

lets hope SE are not "working on the problem" the same way they are working on the rmt problem, or were all screwed.

I pushed my JPb a few times, and nodda.

No need to apologize everyone makes mistakes.

"After 3 months on investigation...."

Also, with the registration maint. they been having you best check your CC and hope they didn't drain you dry.

Either the servers are slowly registering the people d/cing, or people are still d/cing / logging out. Gilga went from having 1,407 a little before the system message. And is now down to 1,103. And keeps slowly declining.
