Performance

Security
• Network Hardening: Extensive security hardening across game server, login server, and networking code NOTE: Yesterday around 10AM, an attacker attempted to compromise the login server; this effort failed and we took the server down to ensure we were adequately protected from this attack vector going forward. We will continue to improve security as we go
