Dang, didn't know it was Ddos's, thought you guys where just being lazy, well hopefully you find these rats that have nothing better to do with their time and have them dealt with!
And just wanna add good job on 07 Jagex! Please don't change it too much! (if anything just update the bank for more spaces)
I doubt gold farmers are ddosing out of immaturity, more likely it's to drum up business by cutting off most of the best money makers that don't rely on them. That said.... it would be an awful lot of fun if, just for a month or so, everyone of all ages could be tried as an adult, especially for online crimes like ddos attacks. Countertrolling is an art.
While I'm going to note that this announcement is long overdue, I'm glad that it has been made, and by Mod MMG no less. I'm glad to see that Jagex is taking player disconnects and lagg seriously, and I'm a bit sorry for some of the grief I've raised about this, considering this new (to me!) information.
EDIT: I've been having real d/c and lagg issues since HD graphics came out, so I assume it's been DDoS the whole time, but there have been changes in system behavior and sensitivities, and that the last ten months have been especially trying.
I'll be giving everyone much less grief going forward, and wish everyone the best of luck on their efforts to make player connections more reliable, fun, and rewarding. Thank you MMG, and thanks to the whole Jagex team. Qopla!

Call me cynical, but how much of the DDoS was disconnected bots trying to log in repeatedly to banned accounts? Still, it's good to hear Jagex is doing something about it!
