So DDoS and asia network problems. I'm surprised I'm still in the game.

[Susurrus]

That site says Japan has 100% packet loss.

[Aeolus]

meaning no internet at all?

[Rodin]

I honestly want to know who or what is doing the DDoS attacks. If it's a single nerd, and we find out who it was, let's all kick his ass. If it's RMT as many of us have suspected (seeing as the attacks started after the Valentines Day Massacre). Let's all hope SE either bans all IP addresses from China (a little extreme, seeing as how there are Chinese importers.) Or actually get off of their asses and at least TRY to fix the problems w/ the gilsellers....I know they've been trying, but I'm sorry, it's REALLY freaking obvious to see who's a gilseller in this game.

not being able to get in for 8 hours shows that its too long for the attack to be DDoS. It was likely the case an internet provider in Japan was down or having a lot of problems, not SE.
