They should probably think about not having the eve-online game and their websites running from the same server. Everything went 'dark' including the forums, all the game servers (there are test servers as well as the principle game server) and even CCP's company site went down. I know they recently locked some forum threads as they (CCP) complained they were interfering with some *game* database work, and although I'm no expert in this area, I'd suspect the eve game is vunerable to a d.o.s. via this connection.
