Is origin systems down? Anyone having trouble?

I keep getting notifications , but can't connect. Very frustrating.

Sorry to dissapoint you. But they are just script kiddies.
DDOS is for script kiddies.

Anyway, It could be good if EA actually could change status on origin.com/status to offline and not online as they claim it is...

As the ddos attack was specifically on the login servers (per the hackers), I bet if your device was already logged in, it will work fine. If you log out, no telling what will happen.

This makes perfect sense in my case. I was logged in moving the Santa village & other Christmas themed stuff to another end. I wasn't kicked out and haven't had problems going back in.
My issue is staying logged In the forum longer than a few seconds

I think that's what confused me. I never logged out of either town. I'm wondering if I tried to get in at the same moment all this was going down. Or if it was just some goofy glitch that logged me out on one but not the other. Has anyone else gotten logged out of their town automatically?

Yes, I got kicked out while playing and proceeded to log out, force close, reinstall. But I bet if you have another device or blue stacks that was previously signed into your account it will work now. I can't test this theory as all my devices are logged out.

That sucks. I can't test it either. I have 2 towns and 2 devices and I did have a moment where I was actually going to log out of my main town and into my other one when I noticed the orange button was missing...thank goodness it was missing or I'd be out of both towns probably. Hopefully they get things back online soon.

Thanks for your help!!

I get the the "Tapp to begin"....then I Tapp but endless donut circle

I jinxed myself...now all I get is the never-ending spinning donut. Now I have to decide if I want to pick up a book, or watch the snow fall, which in itself is depressing thinking how much shoveling I'm going to have to do in the morning :?

Some people need to get a life...

I just got on! After a few hours of down time, I was just able to log onto my town, everything is fine, all my friends are in tact! Yay! Hope your guys towns are back too, if not now than very quickly!

Same here :( It's snowing, wanted to get some redesigning done to occupy my mind before the big dig out tomorrow.

I FINALLY got in !!! Let the tapping begin !
