If they are getting DDoSed, there's not much you can do to stop it.
The only "defense" against a DDoS attack that I've ever heard of is to offload all the incoming junk data onto a dummy server, but that only gets you so far. Either the dummy server(s) gets overloaded and puts you back at square one, or the attackers find out they're on a dummy server and and make changes to try and get around it.
It's a never ending battle until the ones responsible are caught.

Perhaps, however im leaning the other way - the fault is with Zos.
Most big websites and online games face prospect of ddos every day yet manage to not keep going down. If it is a ddos then something is up with their network security. I would guess that wow, ff get hit far more often but you don't hear many tales of them going down so often. Although I have no evidence, other than running web servers, personally feel that ddos is being used as an easy excuse to hide much larger problems with the servers and networks. As I say, I cannot prove it, just a feeling. I do know, however, that if my organisations servers were this unreliable I would be seeking a new host asap
