    Things are now coming back online. Many of you will likely need to reset your DNS resolver cache in order to connect. Try it first, and if it doesn't work, do this:

    On Windows: http://www.picohelp.com/1355/how-to-flush-dns-cache-on-windows-7-windows-8-xp-and-vista.html

    On Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5343

    Please note that the maps for easy and normal are still currently down. They will be made available when they are ready.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Why would anyone DDoS a small MC server?

    A DDoS attack can also happen to the company that runs the server. I would guess the one that runs Sandlot is fairly big.

    If this server is run by Enjin, the biggest server runner in the world, I would suppose that someone would either Denial of Service Enjin for being mad at them or just being mad at a single server because maybe they died or were banned and wanted to get them back and wanted to take Enjin down with them.

    Enjin only runs websites. They do not provide servers or server hosting.
