DDO
Dungeons and Dragons Online. An MMORPG loosely based on the popular pen and
paper game by the same name. Eerily similar to other MMORPG's like WOW, DDO disappointed many with a
premature launch and a hefty monthly subscription. Early reviews of the game were mixed, with playability affected by multiple crashes, unreliable updates, and unpredictable down times. Very laggy gameplay with almost un-playable delays lasted for several months. The single player experience did not
materialize as advertised. The gameplay itself tho is versatile and balanced. Game exploits, or overutilization of game flaws for gain, are usually
nixed by the developers with the next game update, or patch. Game graphics and sound effects are good/excellent for a large MMORPG. The HUD is very customizable and instinctive. Game AI is fair, but tracking leaves something to be desired. A disembodied voice anounces a few obvious details at the beginning of a few quests, obviously a thwarted and irritating attempt to simulate a dungeon master. Character development and progression is well done, following the general outlines of the pen and paper game. In-game progression though, was capped at a low level, as again, the rush to production did not allow the developers to
flesh out the mid/upper levels of game play.Overall a good MMORPG, with excellent visual and auditory experiences and good gameplay,
but hurt by a premature launch and a laggy game experience, despite a hefty monthly price tag.

1. Initials for "Doing Dick(s) Online," in reference to homosexual, bisexual, transexual, and heterosexual encounters made online for sexually explicit goals.
2. The public
declaration that someone is looking to have sex with men, especially in an online format.
3. A declaration that casual,
free sex with men is desired, especially initiated in an online context (such as through video game chat rooms,
instant message programs, etc.).
4. A sexually explicit reference to one's desire to have sexual intercourse with men, usually brought about by online initiation, and sometimes offering monthly payments for the relationship (known as a "subscription" or "VIP account," such as in prostitution) or by free "experimenting" or a "free account," whereby the sexual relationship with men is more casual in nature.
Example:
A DDO party helps me
erect my level, as I search both Google and Urban Dictionary for 'Doing Dicks
Online.'
DDOS
by Mystikan on Feb 27, 2004 03:55:15
Distributed Denial-Of-Service: Form of electronic attack involving multiple computers, which send repeated HTTP requests or
pings to a server to
load it down and render it inaccessible for a period of time. Often used by
freedom fighters on the Internet, usually attacking the systems of greedy corporations who want to sacrifice YOUR freedom for their profits.
Example:
Man, the
RIAA got DDOSed again last Saturday! That's the third time this month! Maybe soon we'll have those kidraping
fuckers off the 'net
for good!

A
distributed denial of service is an attack on a web server usually executed by a
botnet. The most classic and outdated method is by typing in ping www.urbandictionary.com -t -l 65500 in command prompt to send useless noise to
UD's server. In theory, if a large enough botnet did this, it would generate enough noise to clog the bandwidth of the server, denying the webservice offered by said server (preventing normal users from accessing the webpage). However, modern DDOS protections filter out said noise, so various scripts and programs will spam the webserver (www.urbandictionary.com) with requests for the html data, achieving the same goal of clogging the bandwidth. A more refined approach is through
DNS reflection, in which a DNS server is tricked into using its large bandwidth to send random data from the service that it offers to the target IP. A bad method used by anonymous is the
HOIC or
LOIC to attack the server directly, it's a bad choice because each member of the attack must consent to said attack through a fancy graphical interface, so you can't have a botnet do it for you.
A DDOS is highly illegal, so don't try this at home kids
Example:
Person 1: Dude I have a
5k botnet now, I'm to DDOS the school now
Person 2: Cool! What type of attack are you gonna use?
Person 1: A
DNS reflection
Cop: You're under arrest for DDOS

Example:
1> Dude, can you log onto
DalNET IRC?
2> Naw, their servers are being DDoS'ed to hell.
1> Boo. Bunch of
script kiddies and
lusers I'm willing to bet.
