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

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.

Having no luck here connecting to Aether Datacenter. I usually play on Faerie server. Guess the attack is still going on.

*stares in Spanish* DDoS, how am I not surprised

Same problems Goblin server Aether data centre np with Japanese data centres but both US are by the looks of it being DDOS'D.

That's a bummer. Was hoping to jump on for a while via Coeurl unfortunately got hit with 5006. Best of luck and hopes in getting them fixed from the attacks that was mentioned earlier

Getting this now too. Lobby error 5006. Please fix. Today was my day OFF work. Figures.

I got into Goblin 10 minutes ago, and I'm still connected. Zoned a few times, to see if I'd get booted.
