A hacker came through Goodsprings and MA and did some real damage. Several chunks in high-traffic areas are completely untraversable, including Hourglass Station and the MA CIC. He may have gotten to other cities too before he was banned. Entering affected regions will cause your client to freeze up and you will be stuck.

The admins are cleaning up the fallout but for the immediate future, it's advisable to play other games.

God dammit, and I was just about to post about how good the city was doing, too...

EDIT: If you're feeling suicidally adventurous, confirming that GS is now unenterable would be appreciated. I was the hacker's first victim (tried to offer him taters before he struck) and was stuck in the chunk he killed me in until like 5 minutes ago when I finally managed to respawn.

EDIT2: GOODSPRINGS IS SAFE TO RETURN TO
