I guess I'll use this as an example.
Let's say a Sh3ll [one of the main ddos retards] is friends with the owner of a large 90 cap server. Another 90 cap server is launched [competition] he then DDoSes the shit out of them. If they don't give up he will then use the agent server exploit which renders the server useless.
At which point they will have to either A- give up or B- hire somebody to fix it for several hundred dollars. Really, I think it's all just an elaborate scheme for easy money for the people who know how to fix this shit.
But yeah, if it's posted on EPVP it's going to get attacked for the lulz. This is why I don't bother playing SRO anymore.

Even Velestia the krallest server of them all gets put down almost every day, even with some of the best consumer protection.
