SNR then Disconnect 5 times in 20 mins now....this DDOS is gonna ruin this anniversary.
Edit: now im.disconnecting right after log in....
Yeah. Gee you'd think a developer of an Online game would take steps to combat DDOS attack situations. Not Cryptic it seems. They just seem to hope the person(s) making the attacks get bored after a while and move on. That's pretty much how they seemed to handle it the last time Cryptic was hit by a POed DDOSer a few months back.

Yep can't get in again - was map swapping in the middle of TIme & Tide and got the boot. Somebody needs to track this guy down and smash his face in with his monitor.

With our luck, its DDoS Prick again. And on a Friday Night too.
Then Cryptic needs to take steps to remedy this situation.
And how would you propose they do that? If its legal action... pretty sure that guy's not American and not IN America, so that gets complicated all to hell. If it securing the servers... how do you do that against a DDoS? The Prick's employing a Zombie Army to Zerg Rush the servers til they overload. Its not like you can IP Ban him because of the Zombies are not coming from his IP Address.

It's not like companies haven't been able to combat DDOS attacks. Just takes effort.
Good thing it's not up to me, though, as I would have cut off Russia and China off the Internet a long time ago. :P

Must be someone with NO LIFE nor girl or boyfriend. Wish this guy could be caught and send him to the big house to get a "real" deserving life under 4 walls.

Then why is Cryptic being so passive about this?! Do something! Defend your network! And if you're incapable of doing so, hire someone who can.

Yes, I'm sure running a script someone else wrote is great for bragging rights.

But wait...
Oh no! It's gotten worse!
Or do I mean...better? We can rebuild him. Better. Faster. Stronger. Able to make that na-na-na-na noise while running in his little wheel.
