So, i'm fairly ignorant about how DDoS attacks on servers work - but is there really no way to prevent them from happening? I assume if there is a method for prevention, it would cost more - is there an option for some sort of prevention method that the community could donate more to support? I know I'd be willing and most others would be too. How do the servers for, say, EQ live protect against DDoS attacks?
Extremely complicated and expensive realtime IP filtering services / software type stuff.
