11:15pm PST: I’m pleased to report that the earlier issues are almost completely resolved and those regions which were disabled during the replication attack are being brought back up. Thank you all again for your patience. 

10:45pm PST: Around approximately 9pm PST, we received reports of a self-replicating object in-world. Our grid monkey and in-world team responded and have been working to resolve the situation. At the current time there are some regions still unavailable, and others with scripts disabled as we continue to address the attack. We expect a resolution shortly and things appear to be clearing up. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we address this issue.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Christmas.
