Ah, Sejal is from Crimson Eternity, a great guild from Emarr's heyday. I was in Caelistis Ignis, during Luclin and PoP. I played several characters:

Avry - HIE Cleric
Ratanza - Vah Warrior
Jaileint - DE Necromancer

BTW: We all love Cheetos, regular, puffy, and extra crunchy.

People on PEQ are messing with us and keep yelling that the server's back up... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

...And then 80ish people log off to check, are disappointed, and log back on, resulting in the PEQ server lagging mightily XD Good fun.

The problem is that a DDoS doesn't have to log in. Imagine a server as a house. That house has a driveway. At the street end of that driveway there is a gate. You want to have a party at your house, but the paparazzi heard about it. Only people you have invited can get in, but the photographers are surrounding the place. Your guests can't get to the gate to show their invitation.

A DDoS attack are the paparazzi. They aren't invited, and they can't get IN.. The gate is a firewall. It stops them from getting even onto the driveway.. But the people you WANT at your party - I.E., the people who just want to play EQ - can't get to the gate. The DDoS takes up all the street in front of the house.

wow was gonna ask what a DDoS is in laymans terms so i can explain it to my little bro but that analogy fits perfectly. thanks bro
