All of the DBG games are getting DDOS attacked. Apparently the CEO, John Smedley, has upset some people with his tweeting. Honestly, I think personal matters should be taken elsewhere as now it is the players/customers who are suffering the brunt of it, and possibly the company. I feel for the guy, going though personal attacks and all he's been through with this ordeal. But he's clearly not acting professional.
I really hope to see the games back up soon, it's been quite awhile. The webpage is actually pulling, it not a bit slowly. I do feel for the company and all the players. However, I'm very disappointed in
Guess I'm off to play TOR or WoW... Instead of EQ2 tonight. Maybe Smed will ease off the tweets for awhile and we can all play tomorrow?... Heh.
