Probably some stupid script kiddies thinking they're leet hax or something. This gets old.

Did you just change your hair color?

......yes.

[Berret_Snow]

......yes.

Had to check since I've been out of it lately thanks to the Buprorion :P

Anyway I have DCed a few this these past few weeks after being okay for a long while. Trying to queue up for the last MSQ dungeon as a DPS while constantly DCing is not fun. Unsure if it was my internet or something else. Early Access is going to be annoying with all the script kiddies going out.

Very few issues on Light either (Chaos' EU partner centre), although Odin head some problems the other day but wasn't a server wide thing. I mean if someone is going to DDOS, pick something that's going to get more attention like the NA or JP centres ...

Edit:. As I found this in another thread that might be useful for German residents, give it a look over.

Got disconnected once

People that do stuff like this really should be put in prison and kept there for life. Throw them in a solitary confinement and throw the key away sort of thing.

So far I'm on my 9th disconnect in one day, I still can't log back in, every time I try to, I get immediately disconnected. We've had this problem last year for like 3 months as well. It's really f----- irritating I'm paying for a service that I can't use because SE is unwilling to pay for good servers and good protection against this type of thing.

I've seen multiple players with connection issues similar to what it was like playing on the PS3 with multiple disconnects throughout summer and holidays just today. And, it's like this every expansion and then they announce that they've discovered DDOs attacks and increased player traffic as a compound cause. The only thing they could do, besides ahat they've usually done, would probablybbe to just custom make servers and a broadband/fiber-optics that would be powerful enough Bankrupt SE and react to the stress without a sweat, and improve the net-code, which the later might be tricky with the spaghetti code
