NOTE: Loose facts, some information may be incorrect.
A game in TWD was in progress with Value vs. Immolate. The player SyckPhreak (AKA: Squadless, a member of Value. This is what people claim who the alternate alias is) was saying how he was going to crash the TW server. No one thought much of this, so i checked it out after the multiple ?cheater's came in complaining about this threat.
I spoke to him, and he said he would crash Trench Wars. Everyone took it as a bluff. SyckPhreak started abusing ?cheater and started spamming profanities; He was warned for his actions.
Trench Wars started experiencing lag, and crashed numerious times (possibly between two or three times, dropping population downwards of 50-80 players).
He later begun talking to me, saying if i banned him he would hack Trench Wars furthermore, and make it so no one could play. After speaking with DoCk>, he was issued a ban for one week.
Two minutes later, after the ban - Trench Wars started experiencing troublesome lag. In upwards of 50% ploss per-player.
Turns out, SyckPhreak was spamming the Trench Wars router with 50MB+ of loose packet data. PriitK shortly later was informed, and was tracing him.
Trench Wars is now not operational, we believe PriitK shut it down to save on costs of the extra bandwidth moving throughout the server.
