DDoS Attacks Confirmed

[Tonkra]

No offense but it really sounds more like an excuse at this point since they are saying it has been going on since the 16th (early access start) and one would think they would say something far earlier than days later AFTER the media has started publishing bad press about the expansions launch.

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.

Oh look there is a conspiracy theory all over again.

just to tell you:a company should really avoid to lie. i worked in several companies and we never lied concerning technical issues and stuff. There is a huge risk that the truth is coming out which would damage the credibility of a company sustainly. So i really doubt your conspiracy theory.

Its quietly possible that this is a DDOS attack, it is very popular for people to ruin the release of a new expansion also.
Additionally it is less afford needed to run a DDOS attack, everyone can do this.
