See, this would require you to know anything about how the internet works, not specifically about hacking.
There's a massive difference between D/Cing someone and a DDoS attack.
You obviously know nothing about either one.

Granted, this comes from my understanding of DDoS attacks relying on a massive network of computers that needs to scale properly against whatever its attacking.
As you said, Maplestory is designed to accommodate thousands of active users.
I think I may have misunderstood that post, I thought you were talking about Anonymous DDoSing Nexon, when you were talking about the unnamed site that (may or may not have) carried out these attacks (okay, it's the second one).
Yeah, DDoS attacks rely on huge amounts of computers, sometimes individuals or sometimes a botnet. It took thousands of people to take down the RIAA, MPAA, DoJ, and assorted other sites for a short amount of time.
Anyone who thinks this is a DDoS is hilariously optimistic about Nexon's ability to recover from things. It's not just pushing the restart button on the servers and getting out of fetal position.
