DDoS Attacks Confirmed

[Kosmos992k]

I would like to think that SE might consider a LITTLE recompensation for those of us who played during said weekend, even those of us who were back at the beginning.

DDOS attacks are nearly impossible to prevent, and hard to defend. The scale of the attack was either intended to be, or by sheer coincidence was, just enough to be masked by the expected surge in players, but large enough and targeted enough to hamper the process of transferring to instances. It was either well planned, or an accident, but it was effective.

With respect to compensation; OK, I can get behind this. What about getting two pure white and two jet black dyes on every character on your account...as compensation for the black/white issue of being able/unable to enter the Cold Steel or In Crimson instances?
