[quote=KrystiCakes]It's probably not a DDoS attack, most high level servers pay large sums of money for DDoS mitigation hardware/services, not to mention that they often utilize dozens of different servers and often all over the globe, so to try and target ~every~ server and hammer them all with enough traffic to render their DDoS mitigation useless would be... beyond measure. A DDoS network of that size would cost countless MILLIONS of dollars...and trust me, no one is going to throw MILLIONS of dollars into an attempt to inconvenience Maplestory users.

No, what's likely happening is that they're testing out some new function to try and tag/track every item in the game (or just certain items). Such a form would essentially make item duplication impossible, but it would also incur MASSIVE system resource depletion, both memory and processing capability would be ground to a halt and people would get randomly disconnected left and right and there would be VERY noticeable lag all over the place (which is exactly what's happening)..[/quote]

lol too idealistic

You guise have no idea what going on!
My father work in computer store, he say it DDOS

@MrPaperMan: Thanks for taking the time to ask.

@Bluepotimus: Hmm, interesting. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

@MrPaperMan: It could possibly be a database search overpowering the servers, it could be a problem with the companies ISP, there's so many things that could go wrong when hosting a game like this, and immediately these toolbox's hop on "DUPES! DDOS!". In actual fact, if it was possible to DDoS any of the Maplestory servers with ease, they would be down for hours on a daily basis, for no particular reason whatsoever.

TL;DR: Grow something between your ears basil

2012 Deja Vu?

[quote=Bluepotimus]You seriously don't understand what the term DDoS means and how its achieved, and the general public assuming this is a dupe attempt is foolish.

I feel like BasilMarket just eats a whopping bowl of stupid every morning.[/quote]

If the general public is supposedly 'foolish,' do you mind suggesting a more logical cause of the server issues?

[quote=Fluxxxxx]yeah those guys that called the swat team on Phantoml0rd[/quote]

It's cause PhantomL0rd is playing MS too!

[quote=iamhyper101]You mean the group that call themselves DERP?[/quote]

You mean some kid running scripts and claiming to be a master hacker? I could be thinking of something else entirely.

[quote=rebirthed]Haha, if you think it is a DDoS you clearly don't know what a DoS is[/quote]

Pretty sure I do.
