    I can't DDoS. hobbit is doing it for a sch**l project (BBQ pit - ask evil chicken)

    Whats DDoS. giving the server a overload. Visit the page with a lot of computers. the server can't handle it. and will crash. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack

    but in theorie every one could DDoS a server.

    Well, It's pretty easy to dos. I can take down a few websites just by opening a s**t load of sockets and connecting to it a few thousands times repetitively, but taking down rs servers would take a lot of computers. Maybe controlled by a botnet. You'd need quite a bit of bandwidth, and some fast internet connections.

    Actually it looks like they were just updating the grand exchange and summoning rather than someone attacking their server

    I had to open 3 times runescape until it worked, all the other times it crashed while communicating with the update server (Don't know if this has to do with a DoS attack)

    I thought it was just me. I kept on trying to access worlds and it came up with a 404 error. Was that the error you were getting?

    hackers can't really take down rs servers cause of the 2k max player limits.
    and yes, proably a micro update(unnoticable or unannounced), or a real update.

    but most web sites, like mine and have infinate amounts of page and would crash my server, but my hosters would probably sue the hackers big time..
