'But to be logical is not to be right', and 'nothing' on God's earth could ever 'make it' right!'

l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
Well, that explains why the Cardassians weren't my biggest problem in the Badlands... and why I kept getting SNR'd out of a promotion...
UGH. I really hope this whole mess can be dealt with so it doesn't impact the Anniversary Giveaway that starts Tuesday...

It's like opening the doors of a store on Black Fridays, only these are fake 'server requests' that flood the server; bringing it down so no one can get through. Eventually crashing the server.
"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
I wish I could blame Cryptic for this but I can't. Is no more Cryptic's fault than it is the fault of the victims of a mass shooting that the mass shooting occurred. Cryptic is every bit as much a victim here as we are. They are losing a lot more than you and I are too, they are losing real world money while this is happening, and a lot of it too. They are getting attacked and so are we, so if you are going to be angry, be angry at the correct target, the people committing this act. Take what little comfort there is in knowing that Cryptic is hard at work in resolving this as soon as possible, they need to let us in to game and spend our money more than we need to log in to spend our money.
Reboot/reset does not work here. Ping test now shows 50% to 80% packet loss on last 4 hops into server. Been having issues since last patch/server update. Glad I cancelled my subscription lst month. Hate wasting money. (sigh) Saved the last pingplotter test, looks like another week of waiting to log in.
Literally - 'Digital Denial of Service', like others have said, it's using programs and bots to overload a website's servers and prevent it from working properly or even crashing it.
Metaphorically - proof that someone's parents should have taught them better respect for others instead of letting them pitch temper-tantrums like a two-year-old whose teddy's well and truely out of the pram...

I really hope whoever is doing this is stopped and doesn't do it during the event. I want that ship.

Some jerk is baraging the server to cause it to crash. I understand he does this to Neverwinter nights too.

"distributed denial of service" attack - someone kept "hammering" at the server until it curled up and died
