^ PoodleCorp appears to be the culprit. They insisted on an interview with the Youtuber Keemstar (a very cancerous Youtuber) and said after that they would stop. He did the interview, and everything should start slowly coming back around.
Yeah, they were, DDos'd also hit Blizzard (WOW) pretty hard too. Currently that's the issue atm, along with a few other server issues. But if you want to have a laugh, go to EA's Support on twitter.. and read comments from them and customers, Pretty humorous and sad all in one. Trying to pop the servers if and when they come up as much as I can. Pretty much a hit or miss on staying connected to said servers til this mess gets fixed.
