Default Why not

Why not just bring up the servers even if the guy lags em real bad? Just put a disclaimer so everyone knows not to expect GM rezzing do to lag death. Seems like that way he would eventually get bored. He's most likely just getting a kick out of all this.

Why not learn how the internet works and figure out how much money a continued DDoS would cost the server admins.

I would actually assume that the admins/devs/GMs/Guides who work on this server for free actually give a shit about the people playing on it and wouldn't just randomly say "well, screw them, we'll take the server down" without a damn good reason. Guess that makes me an ass.

Called you an ass cause of the arrogant attitude you first replied with, glad for the answer, just could have done without the attitude.

It was pretty much unplayable, is my guess. I'd think shutting the whole thing down would at least keep most people interested/curious about the project rather than players logging on, lagging to hell, losing their corpse and STILL having to read /ooc.

Besides the bandwidth reasoning, the project just received a nice review on a major gaming site last week. For the lag and gaming experience to be so bad at the point where a lot of potential new players are checking it out, it could be more damaging reputation wise than just being down for maintenance. It was totally unplayable for me while the attacks were on anyway.
