Our investigations showed that there may also be situations where users are unable to log in at all, so the "Details" section was edited to reflect this.

During the time below, we experienced network technical difficulties caused by DDoS attacks.
Players may have experienced the listed issues as a result, but we are happy to inform that the game can now be played as normal.
