Just wanted to share my appreciation for all the hard work your tech folk are going through to defeat the nefarious folk that are responsible for the DDOS attacks here and for the Wizard101 players. We know you are working your tushys off solving this and I (we) wanted you to know that we are patient and we stand behind you 100 percent. I (we) have the utmost confidence in your abilities to squash them into a greasy spot on the ground and we are all cheering you on as you labor to protect our beloved game and your business. Hang in there. We cast all the healing and power boosts you need to get the job done. *Whistles for all available pets to assist wherever needed*

I have to wonder though, who would bother DDoS a family based game when they could attack ISIS sites for example....
Must be someone with nothing better to do or just evil probably...

May karma help the evil-doers reap what they have sown.

Same, when I heard these attacks were happening I made sure to rush over here and thank the Pirate101 and wizard101 staff for their dedicated work to stop the DDOS attacks.

Also for any wizard/pirate that is worried about their account, DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks cannot gain your account information! Your account is safe!

The problem is that the servers are being fed garbage data and lots of it, so much that the game can't handle it and that's why the servers have been down some of the time.

Please be patient, before the attacks started I was talking to KI support for a wizard101 technical issue (was having a hard time reinstalling wizard101) but decided to not waste their time and let the tech guys over at KI focus on getting those DDOS attacks stopped.
