Edited in because char limits

I would also like to point out they have not only put out an expansion but have also opened up a free login campaign at the same point far overloading the capacity of the servers themselves. The "DDoS" may very well be their own CUSTOMERS trying to get what SE has sold and/or advertised.
Or, you know, they considered it might be an influx because of the expansion but the investigation took these 4 days.
