Is anyone else having trouble getting to it today? I've tried every permutation of the basic URL, and all that showed up was a 500 Internal Server Error message.

Strange...it worked earlier 'today'...Checked it at about 7am Eastern, as a guess, not working now.

They normally kill sites they link to, not themselves! :D

Doesn't seem to be working for me either.

EA may be trying a DNS on them. :-)

EA as in "E! A! Sports! It's in the game!" ?

EA as in SimCity Societies?

They try denial of service on any computer where someone installs the latter, and the former nearly led to me performing a denial of service on someone's playstation and TV ... with an axe ...

The boys at PA were fairly scathing in their latest illustrated opinion regarding EA's decision to allow people to buy upgraded weapons in their newest upcoming shooter.

Wouldn't put it above EA to try to pull a DNS for that. After all, they're not known for their thick skin over their ... only thick heads.

And today it just refuses to load.

I think I'm going to assume it's a DOS attack, or something similar. The problems are too weird and un-random.

Has anyone heard anything about why they're having issues with their server?

Jack Thompson Spam attacks? xD
