There was a hacker on era pc, kero isn't lying about that; the staff on there have been working to track down all them money. I doubt however that they woudl shut down all the servers over it. My guess is it was a ddos attack.

Yes it is true, I was on pc era all yesterday and today and there was a great big commotion about it, he broke lots of ATMs and stole a ****load of money. Apparently 3m was given to 3 different people when it happened. However since this happened way before the server crash I don't think it has anything to happen with every server being shut down.

thats not a reason to shut down ALL servers. the servers either got DDoS'd or crashed.

Sorry but I'm confused, what does DDoS mean?

sweet! So since the main servers were completely deleted does that mean that the wip servers like kingdoms, zone, and delteria will be only ones on ios now? (Since the staff would move over and help prepare those servers?) Oh btw if graal never gets back up i feel bad for those kids who spent hundreds of dollars on it. ~Yes im optimistic!

It's like when Sony shut down the PS3 servers for like a month all over again.

Well, it could be something like a hacker attack. Although, another valid reason could be maintenance. They've been working on getting graal to work on Windows 8, so they probably are putting all of the fixes into action.

Distributed Denial of Service

Basically, it's when someone overloads a server with so many packets the server just refuses all other connections and crashes itself.

Ok, just looked up DDoS, for all you (like me) who didn't know what it is this is a simple explanation (according to Wikipedia and my own understating of it) A DDoS is a "Denial of Service Attack" which can wipe the server (clear it) or temporarily suspend it from use (stop you from using it for a while) it's hacking
