Killed Wrote:Crashing channels =/= DDoS. Most of the time, the channels don't actually even crash, players just lag extremely bad and D/C themselves. Timing a crashing channel with a DDoS attack would be way too hard, and the people doing it would no doubt have a much more safer and not bring so much attention.
And I highly doubt it has anything to do with removal of hacked items.
This is probably someone who is being paid to do it, or they just want to see Nexon squirm and flail while they watch it.
Only way this could be for duping is if they're locking accounts, and this lag unlocks them causing rollbacks, thus duping.
It wouldn't unlock the accounts. To unlock locked accounts, you need the entire server to crash, meaning mushies reset, HT 30 man list thing gets reset, everything. Mushies aren't disconnecting which means its just immense amount of lag causing players to disconnect. The save cycle should get reduced though, that's the best way to prevent any duping at all, and right now its around 5 minutes I believe, which is plenty of time to do whatever you need.
