i doubt it... if ship 2 was down completely, i'd say i could see it being a DDOS attack on the server, but that doesn't seem to be the case, far as i've seen. definitely something going wrong, but i'd sooner put this on bad optimization growing more apparent on the full server first, over saying it's something malicious. granted, the gold sellers seem to have started popping up this morning, so there could be something going on...
