Actually, that sounds fine to me...they screwed me out of 15 bucks once after I cancelled the subscription ON TIME. Grats to whoever helps wreck their shit company. Screw them. EA next please.

Or its just a convenient excuse for servers struggling to handle the influx of players due to new expansion.

Clearly this is the work of the Garleans! Despite the wonders of Magitek and their willingness to fire upon their own solders, Raubahn Aldynn the "Bull of Ala Mhigo" is sticking it to them with ONE F*CKING ARM. Praise Rhalgr.

They just came out with a new expansion. The DDoS attackers can't stand to see other people having fun. The attack World of WarCraft whenever they come out with a new expansion too.

It's amazing how these online games have DDOS attacks when they release or have a new xpac. I get the feeling that either they are lying or their IT dept confuses players accessing the game en masse as a DDOS attack.
