  Mabinogians,
  
  We are currently experiencing a denial of service (DDoS) attack from malicious users trying to bring down our servers. Our servers are built to withstand this type of attack but players may experience the following issues while trying to connect to the game:
  
  - Frequent disconnects from the game
  - Login difficulties
  - Slow speeds while playing (lag)
  
  These DDoS attacks will not affect your game characters or accounts in any way. If you are experiencing issues mentioned above please try the game again in a few moments.
  
  Thank you for your patience!

  
  
  
  Of course, the angry DDoS kids who don't want Europe players are gonna get mad and try to crash the servers so no one can have fun.
  
  Those racist bastards.

  On the upside, at least the servers are DDoS resistant. Not a lot of companies can boast that same amount of power.
  
  At least our money is being used wisely in that regard.
  
  +10 Respect to Nexon.

  Anyone else feel that Nexon is starting to be a little more open with us? Admitting the knuckles were a mistake, telling us about the attack. I like the direction they're going.

  I hope it continues. Transparency or things like this don't anger me in the least.

  I am doubly impressed as well. They're protected, and they're being open.

  I'm glad to see them moving in this direction more and more.
  
  Now, I do have a question about the DDoS.... how much would that possibly resemble (in terms of activity and usage) hordes of commerce bots cc'ing and logging in and logging out? Of course, it's their business, and I'm not much of a programmer, so I'd expect them to know what they're talking about (at least to a point- they are, after all, Nexon). But, I'm just wondering if they're mistaking the swarm of bottage for a DDoS, or if we have a DDoS on top of having the gold-seeking hordes of Genghis Khan swooping down on our servers?

  At least they openly admitted it for once.

  Dear Mabinogians,
  
  We were ready for you this time you hacking bastards.
  
  Thank you for your patience!

  The servers must really be something if it can stand this many bots AND DDoSing.(or just made by someone who works with Osay)

  I lol'd hard.
  
  And it is great to see Nexon is moving in a more positive direction when it comes to telling us stuff.

  Hm. Since they've been crashing in Alexina, I don't know how to take this statement.
