It's pretty simple - lack of communication. I'd been keeping my eyes on the forum from a bit after midday' date=' local time. It's 9.30pm here now, and up until Vipeax's post about maintenance, I'd spent a few hours trying to get on for a bit of Zombie action.
Then I find out that it's not hackers causing the problem, the server's offline for some work. Fine, I understand that maintenance is something that needs to be done. Finding out that it's maintenance after trying to get onto a server for three hours or so, that's frustrating.
A bit of communication goes a long way.

The servers were initially down because of the DDoS attack. They decided to take advantage of the downtime and do some maintenance. Also keep in mind that this is an alpha + the mod developers aren't getting paid to work on this--it is completely out of the kindness of their heart.
