Connection Lost: Server returned HTTP Response (please help)

[David Figenscher]

I was on my server earlier today and everything was running fine. Now when I try to connect or anyone else tries to connect this is the error that kicks back:

Failed to login: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL:

Then its followed by a large URL that contains my user name as well as the server ID

I have restarted both my client and the server as well as both computers they run on. Like I said this was working fine an this morning then I get this error.

Other users are getting the same error so its not a client side issue.

Exatly, I have this issue too, got it right after when I enabled recipe for the original Ic2 Mass Fabricator and both me and my friend couldn't join.

The Service is down, so no login into server possible atm

Yes login servers are down. Means you cannot connect to a "online" mode server.

Thank you very very much, this was extremely frustrating

Extremely frustrating... and unfortunately more and more common. Gotta love the broken DRM that doesn't actually stop the pirates from playing - only us paying customers. =(

There was a DDoS attack on the login servers.
