    I certainly don't understand everything about DDos attacks either, but I'm pretty sure they don't actually need to log in to the servers to do the attack. It's more like they are "calling" on the server to connect to it. I think they call it a "handshake". If enough ppl do that then the server will be too busy to "shake hands" to manage what it's there for in the first place: sending out data to whoever is legitimately communicating with it when they are playing the game.
    Something like that anyway lol. So suspending the trials wouldn't help I'm afraid. It would however have a beneficial effect on all the RMTs scurrying around, trying to peddle thair illigal wares.

    And welcome to the forums Tarfeon.
