Just a heads up, Animal Crossing Online is currently down [SERVERS ARE UP!]

[Paperboy012305]

What's the deal with DDoS anyway? Is it someone that severely hates something that they attack it with all they got???

 

[spawnpoint]

Of course it happens right when I was about to buy a villager ;-;

You don't have to hate it. People sometimes do it to troll.

Of course, to waste their time.

Oh wow we lucked out so hard with buying something right before the server went down, unfortunately though we were just about to try to go hunting for DIYs to buy/trade/use. I imagine it will take a bit for staff to fix it, so I'll try to be patient and maybe mark down threads to revisit later.

...and I was about to sell Judy to a new home... she better not end up in the void!!

Even the Custom Design Portal doesn’t work at Ables

Side note: Discord hustlers are probably losing their minds right now, lol

It's not to waste Nintendo's time as much as it is to hurt the players generally. At least, it feels like it whenever this happens for video game-related services like that. Like you get entertainment out of people complaining on threads like this, Twitter, etc because they can't play online.

Nintendo as a whole isn't going to be too fussed by this. It's mostly going to cause problems for the poor network administrators who might've been called in to work on their day off, and the customer service people who are getting complained at. Just individual Nintendo employees. Server outages happen all the time from a big company's perspective.

I meant the person doing the DDoS is wasting their time.

During these times we can all continue to beautify our town, catch some bees, chop some tr-

Most of these people do it for the "lulz". Some do it for notoriety. It doesn't happen that gaming media often says the name of the groups behind these attacks, which is exactly what they want most of the time.

During all this time, I probably would’ve crossed state lines and local trade somebody, anybody.

No wait. I live in Hawaii.

If I had to not have online and be on the continental US, or not have online and be in Hawaii, I'd rather be in Hawaii.

Lived there for a few years. I miss it. Well, most of it. Don't miss the expensive grocery bill.
