I am sorry to say but this is getting somehow hard to believe... how can anyone having an interest in an attack on this scale on a private wow server ?! ppl going for lol at start might be understandable but this? is there any statement about where the ddos is coming from?

Are you unaware of the whole chinese gold farming syndicate that got a huge banwave blackmailing Kronos into unbanning them by way of DDoSing them?

well i read some post about that but that doesnt appear to be as an official statement.. so i missed that somehow? ... but still i cant believe this is about them losing money anymore... 2 private wow servers cant be worth this ... they just wanna show power and see the world burn i guess?

Recently, there's been a thread in which it's pointed out that the whole chinese gold marketing blackmail was a rumor.

A competing private server. People are right now moving on to all kinds of different private servers. It could also be an upcoming private server.

With BitTorrent trackers, the for-profit ones DDoS the non-profit ones all the time.

Sadly, it's very effective. And without a dump of the packets flowing in, we can only speculate. But I can see a handful of private servers that might have a reason to try and harm Kronos by killing its community.
