The cloak and dagger around root cause is interesting. Only thing I can think of is some exploit or security vulnerability that was found and resolved. However, even at that I don't understand why they can't just say that. My other thought is it was something completely boneheaded and they don't want to admit what happened because it looks like incompetence. Something like they ran out of hard drive space on the database server which then corrupted the database, and they spent the weekend trying to get new drives added and restore from a backup recent enough to not constitute a rollback. That's also entirely plausible, would explain the duration, and their lack of transparency.

Anyway, I haven't played LOTRO in years and never played DDO, so I don't really have a dog in the hunt. The headline just caught my eye.

Are they really back up or this an April Fools Day joke? Hard to tell.
