You know it's patch day when...

[Novak_04]

You get lag spikes and disconnects alluding to the ever-so-frequent DDoSing...

Behemoth here. Getting knocked offline often and having insane lag spikes.

Balmung's getting hit pretty bad too, along with Malboro (judging by our dcing tank).

[Shizomaru]

same, famfrit just died

[Nims]

Is it actually DDoSing or just the servers under heavy load?

[FengZhou]

My entire potd group was spiked.. and then fc started lighting up at the same time.
We lost one guy to dc in my party, then it quit for a bit only to start up all over again. This time my entire fc was kicked offline and then my potd party. I was almost done my 10 set of floors and I'm pretty growly about that /sigh. Time wasted.

Same on Hyperion.

I doubt savage brings in people by the bucket loads, but certainly no small amount. Just not, fresh new expansion, amount.

Very likely ddosing or some someone tripped over a cabled in the DC.

[Kaoru_Nagisa]

Is it actually DDoSing or just the servers under heavy load?

Very likely a DDoS, as it was completely fine most of the morning and even after the first major spike a couple hours earlier, it stabilized itself quickly.

Probably some script kiddies trying to ruin world first runs of Savage, if I had to guess.

No confirmed statement about DDoSing... but the symptoms are there, it's patch day, and it's been a full week since Blizzard last reminded us they still exist (kidding, not kidding). All the signs point to it.
