Great! Another DDoS attack. That’s twice in a time span of not even 2 days!! Tranquility is up, but i’m still getting that “closed socket” error message, again…just like 2 days ago. ---

It can be risky. Also, think of it like a power grid after a blackout and everyone’s refrigeration and AC equipment kicks on at once. Which, now that I think of it that way, is basically an unintentional power grid DDoS. ---

I think we can all agree that this is not a DDoS, but a massive influx of new players, having the server melt. ---
