Get use to it ... makes enjoining the game so much better when its over again. (of just wait it out if you can't stand it)
And think of the person responsible as one of those pitiful Trump misfits that just don't know any better.

Nope.

I'd never release an update under even lesser pressure. If it is an attack, and if it is pressure to release a new world, then I suppose it is going nowhere and we won't see it anytime soon.

They are clearly trying to postpone the release of W13 and make W12 last longer, dont give in to the terrorists! If you postpone you will show them that they can always just DDOS to get what they want!

Any delay to W13 and the terrorists win, you should release it now

Hee, it stopped raining again. 8-)
(probably only temporary of course.)

> "Don't give in to pressure/terror!"

Don't worry, Officially no one ever does.

Unofficial ... its a bit more complicated, and usually kept under wraps.

I implemented one of the countermeasures I spoke of yesterday, and while it seems to have had some effect, it doesn't exactly seem to have solved the problem entirely. I'll consider what to try next.

Yea, yesterday it was impossible to even login, though with all the recorded requests/action taken on the server by that guy should you not have an idea who it is? like this sort of thing is illegal anyway.

Depends how the attack is performed.
Likely it is performed by some large botnet or such, which the attacker has either paid to use or just has access to. (Thus making usage free!)
Its pretty much impossible to find who is behind it, because the devices in botnets could be relatively innocent peoples toothbrushes, routers etc.
