That stopped being funny since your first post of it. Enough already, ffs.

Honestly this was a lot faster than the last time. It took them nearly a three days. I remember the cue being something like... 12,273 or something when it started to go down. I was expecting a few more hours.

Thats basically the point. It creates potential backlash by the users for not being able to use the service. It is odd that its a ddos attack on the same day that SE released/updated the Shadow Bringers site with lore on Viera and Hrothgar allowing them to exclude male/female versions of those races.

Typically that's the point. Just look at day one Archeage Revelations. You would have 3000 hour Q time (Even with a subscription) only to be dc every 10 seconds. It pretty much killed the fresh start servers by being so irritating that people just quit.

The websites are on a different system to the game servers, there isn't an relation there. :) Except perhaps salt.

I'm just trying to free the whales

It would cost SE literally nothing

They choose to DDoS because there paid too

having same issue at the moment, on mateus

I hear SE banned Blizzard's RMT bots that are used to keep WoW up and running.
