No, but the government would and they would go to jail for a very long time.
The likelihood they are just some 14 year-old kid is not very high. While getting your hands on a botnet of infected zombies to initiate such an attack isn't particularly difficult, the chances it's some kid isn't likely.
It's also possible this guy isn't even related to eqemu at all. (though unlikely since we've already been hit by one of these faggots before, and they were someone banned)

I doubt they would go to jail for DDOSing an EQ emulation server. The feds would probably pass on the case unless it was a high profile or corporate target or unless they feel they can make an example out of this person, this means it would be passed down to state. Depending on the state(if this person is even in the US) and their case load, they would probably just plea out with probation. Hell, ask any DA in NY what a DDOS is and they will probably look at you like you are crazy. Not many people do time for ddos, I would love to see that change but it isn't taken as seriously as ID theft. at least from what I have seen.
