If you're goal of DDOSing is to get the server to change, what happens when rogean finally says fuck it and shuts it down for good? That solution is no better.
So...what is the goal here? You say the server is corrupt and want it to change. So make your case. Your explanation is too general. "IB did xyz, GM did abc." How about listing exactly what is required of the server that will make you happy again and stop the attacks? Specifics, such as soandso_gm gets removed from power, fgh item gets removed from soandso's backpack, etc. Be specific. If you brought forth evidence and specific accusations of people, you might actually get some of the playerbase behind you, which would pressure the GMs to make a change more than just your DDoS is doing.
Currently, you have everyone against you because you're shutting down the server they like to play on. If you want change to happen, you need the players on your side. It won't happen without that.
Ultimately, unless you have a clearly defined goal of what you hope to accomplish by shutting the server down, you aren't accomplishing anything. If you can't change rogean/nilblog's mind, then that's the way it is. And lets say for arguments' sake that everything you say is true. If the top GMs won't change anything, then the reality is that we have a corrupt server. Now, you can't change that, it either exists and is corrupt, or it doesn't exist. The legit server you want to play on does not exist. So accept that, and then you can then decide to (a)play on a corrupt server, or (b) don't. If you can't accept the reality with which you are presented, you are just hurting people who have nothing to do with the things you accuse others of. If you can't change anything (and you can't, without getting the players on your side), then a legit everquest progression server does not exist in this universe. Jennifer Love Hewitt was once the hottest girl on the planet, and now she's not even close. I want her to be that same girl again, but that's not one of the options with which I am presented, so I can accept my fate of a world without young Jennifer Love Hewitt, or fight reality in an inevitably losing battle.
To anyone else: I'm not siding with anyone and don't know any first hand info about any accusations, so don't assume that because I'm accepting his point of view for arguments' sake, that I accept his point of view.
To IB: Obviously saying "there is no cheating going on blah blah" is a total waste of time. This guy thinks there is, you think your "there's no cheating" post is gonna make him go "OH WOW I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY!!!11!"? Whenever you argue with someone, you gotta argue based on their premises or you get no where.
