Play wow but dont play minecraft / eve? unlikely. More likely wow has some other element to it such as it being better defended? their patch days must be the equivalent of ddos attack and they cruise through that by taking down webpages and forums so I imagine they are not an 'easy' target so dont pose as much interest.
Lulzsec!

Eve is relatively capable of weathering a DDoS attack - tho nothing short of throwing an insane amount of hardware at it really copes with a DDoS attack. CCP decided pretty early on that best route to take would be to take their infrastructure offline rather than struggle through the DDoS and leave themselves potentialy vulnerable to more serious attacks (given the number of other game companies actually hacked into).
Minecraft being a much smaller effort, mostly the work of one guy funded by donations and a smaller commercial enterprise is in a worse position to deal with a serious DDoS.

Given the useage of college educated style Americanized English on the LS twitter feed and the style of presentation - when you peel back the "lolz" I'd be quite unsuprised if this is infact one of the more front facing people at LS:

They would be most offended to hear you say that since they seem to hate /b/
They hate /b/ now but they claim that they were top dogs at /b/ until 2005.LulzSec The Lulz Boat
We are the concentrated success of 2005 /b/, being "hunted" by the 2011 furry horde. Challenge accepted, losers.
Everything suddenly makes complete sense!

Sounds like they are going to attack EVE Online again too.

That's pretty awesome. I really should try out Eve.
It's fine. They'll fade in history like every other nobody, their actions here today will be forgotten as the passage of time moves forwards. They'll fade into the oblivion of time, and be forgotten, just as their pointless and their delusions of grandeur shall.
It's about time some white hats rocked up in the FFFUBoat and urinated in their cereal.
I was chatting with a security contractor just the other day and polled his opinion on this. He has been in IRC channels with the guys who perpetrate these attacks and he says they pretty much just take targets at random ALA "Hey, shall we attack X?"
Bunch of muppets.

They are giving white hats jobs by showing how vulnerable websites can be. If white hats attacked LulzSec, they would cease to be white hats.
And of course it's random, they are doing it for a laugh.
