ahaha, hilarious messiah

What the fuck is a DOS attack anyway? Can somebody explain roughly what it is and why I've literally never heard of it outside of this emulated everquest server? It's annoying having no idea what it is and just hearing "welp, DOSed again!".

massively pinging a server/ip to overload it.

DDOS stands for 'distributed denial of service'. So a DOS attack would be someone sending tremendous amounts of data through to the site they're attacking in order to make it not function properly. a DDOS is the same thing done from many different computers at many different locations, which is a ton harder to prevent.

Hahah wow, so people actually got angry enough over emulated everquest to coordinate a widespread "attack" in order to bork the server? What a bunch of virgins.

Not going to comment at this juncture till I've had time to confer with the others.
