I'm not too sure on the details but yesterday I read on project1999.org, which isn't working right now, that the reason why p99s server got messed up is because there was this techy playing on there who was cheating and got caught and banned. I think it was because he was messing with files and creating items for himself. I could be wrong. Instead of being mature and accepting the consequences he started attacking the server with a DDoS. The server started having a high amount of lag after he was banned and the lag was causing a lot of people to get killed. Which really really sucks from how eq was back then. So now we have to put our eq addictions aside and suffer through it all because of one pathetic loser.
