A lot of people have been having trouble with the email verification thing lately.
I don't really know exactly what's going on with it, but it could be from the DDoS attack on Graal. However, I don't really think it would be that because it appears the person has stopped.

Highly doubt it would be the result of a DDoS attack, seeing as how the login server/authentication wasn't targeted in the attack - I believe he only attacked servers. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also, this has happened a couple other times on iClassic as well. I think it's a faulty login server to blame.
Mind if you could explain what this DDoS thing is o.o?

DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service - it's a form of hacker attack in which a hacker or hackers uses a server to send out many authentication or external communication requests to a target server, overflowing the server with more data than it was made to handle, which crashes the server and renders it unusable or "down".
[size=1](That was one long sentence.)
tl;dr
A hacker overflows a server to take it off the intertubes.
EDIT: Actually, this might just be the cause of the DDoS attacks. If I'm not wrong, the attacks were directed at the Graal servers and subsequently the login servers, which I believe iEra uses for account login (seeing as you're directed to graalonline.com after verifying an account). I'll just ride the storm out and wait a couple more days if need be, and contact a staff member if still necessary.
