If you are a player or a former player attacking or destroying the ZOS server . . . stop it, just stop!
If you are petty enough and vengeful enough to take out your agression on on a video game, well you are a huge stick in the mud.

If you have an agenda to take out a corporate entity, there are plenty of other despicable companies out there to choose from.

What do I know? These problems could be a side effect of the Chinese mining bit coins, which are more valuable than gold right now!

My brain is mush . . . but I like ESO

the only people who i would think would do that would be a corperation hired them to do it.
for example W.O.W. [JUST AN EXAMPLE]:
it would be a company that would pay alot of money for an attack like this [if it is by them and it is an attack]
it is possible and i could see that happening and not letting up.

Question:
do i think it is a person or just 2 or 3 people doing it out of revenge ?

Answer:
No

it would also be possible that this was from people who make bots and sell the bots or even Gold sellers to do this.

Question:
again why would they do that ?

Answer:
because of money, it is allways about money.

Having been on the receiving end of coordinated DDoS attacks, i can assure you that this is almost always about money.

I doubt that any disgruntled ESO player has the infrastructure needed to launch a coordinated attack that can bring down the ZOS servers. You need more than an old laptop and a good internet connection for that ...

For this level of incompotence, I wouldnt be suprised if andrew gower was somehow involved.

I'm not sure the DDoS was specifically aimed at ESO - SW:TOR US server's got smacked down at the same time over the weekend. So that's 2 different games from 2 different companies that had connection problems due to a DDoS attack.

Now it could have been 2 separate attacks, one aimed at ESO and one aimed at SWTOR. Or it could have been 1 attack aimed at either game that also effected the other game, or an attack aimed at something else entirely... and just happened to effect both games as well.

How could it effect both games? Simple - if it flooded a server you route through to get to that game, then you'll have connection problems... even if the game(s) themselves are not actually effected/targeted by the attack.

And this is a likely culprit here... since for both games the connection problems didn't effect everyone, only some. And thing is... not everyone will have the same routing to a server, so those whose routing avoided the congested/attacked server's wouldn't see/experience any problems.
