wow that sucks

I really don't understand why they would choose to attack a game server? what do they hope to accomplish other than being irritating?

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.

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

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.

same reason some people kick cats. theyre usually abused at home, or bullied at school. so they pay it forward due to being jaded or whatnot. Kids will be kids. Or just scum. Combination of the aforementioned most likely.

Its funny that after SE banned all the gil farmers they get pissed and ddos SE.
When is SE going to learn to ban the entire country and just dont allow them to play period. the answer is never they make to much money off banning them
