It just can’t get a break. It’s so popular that CCP’s started cutting back the number of folks who can be in there concurrently. Lets hope a more eloquent fix is on the way soon.

A new podcast has also been recorded and should be out soon, so keep your eyes open for that!

A quick note, it seems winterblink.com got nailed with a javascript trojan.  Most virus scanners will catch it and warn you, it’s something at my hosting provider’s end so I’m having them look into the issue for me.  Definitely not intentional.  Will keep you all updated.

I don’t even know where to start in posting an analysis of it yet, so have a read.

Update: Sounds like other than a ridiculous amount of bug fixes, one of the biggest additions to this is the CONCORD and security changes talked about in a recent dev blog.  Details for those changes have been added to the patch notes.

I think a lot of that is the fact we’re not raiding NPCs really, but against people with some skills, and things can happen at any time.
