Down?

[Dale]

Yes, they could be putting their talents to far better uses. Like not being a terd.

[f0xx]

Do the guys at Genesis have more information about the attacks? I doubt FL is the only thing that is hosted on their server. Are they targetted specifically at us, or at something else they are hosting?

Is there even a way to know?

I am asking because it seems rather strange to get attacks. After all, we are a small community playing a free game. Just, makes no sense for anyone to attack us...

[miskahn]

i still can't seem to connect

[Dale]

I' just hoping it's up by morning.

[miskahn]

so it's not just me?

[Atticus]

no its not just you, someone or a few are attacking our Server IP- im hoping Boulos my Cryto friend from bootcamp can help us out after e gets off his shift,

[miskahn]

that would be wicked, finally have the hosue to myself first time in weeks, no interuptions and I can't play mud

[Atticus]

yeah, my boy is pissed, he used to play muds back in the day. that and I shined the boys boots in BT

[Atticus]

now im trying to figure how to set up targeting on my mushclient- hmm. im deff no IT

[miskahn]

so how is it all going

[Atticus]

got it worked out, the targeting system that is- Boulos is on night check so cant really help until 0700 my time and ill be at work so were going to try to have lunch

[miskahn]

So it's just down for now on?

[Serinkane]

Calm down.. you'll get your crack rocks soon as they wake up to fix it.

[Volgathras]

The issue we're having here is that someone is deliberately and persistently attacking our server, flooding it with information and causing it to crash. We don't know who this is, and the nature of the attack means we may never find out.

Unfortunately, as it is now we're having to react to the attacks as they occur. So we make adjustments to combat the overload, only to have our new set up subsequently bogged down.

I understand we're frustrated about this situation - believe me, the administrators are very upset - and we ask for patience while we work out how to deal with this. Remember that we're running off of very limited resources, facing a problem we've never had to deal with before.

Myself and the other staffers would like to very much apologize for the downtime. We know and appreciate that you come to hang out here with us, and it's our responsibility to do what we can to keep the game up for your enjoyment. We'll keep you updated.

[Grim_Reefer]

Why in the hell are we not switching where our game is hosted?

[Erelei]

The idea hasn't escaped us, that's for sure.

[Grim_Reefer]

What has stopped you from doing it, I couldn't think of a better way to breathe new life into this game. New server, new ad campaign, and release version 4.0 all at the same time

If its a financial issue, hit me up.

[Anume]

Yes, they are specifically targeting us.

[Atticus]

My boy is going to try and hook us up with some software. Will update around lunch time. And you say they for what reason anume?

[Anume]

They, he, whatever

[Anume]

Re Grim: as we only just paid the server fee for the next year, we'd like to keep this server if at all possible.

We'll see if it is or not.

[Grim_Reefer]

Id try to get a refund.

[Anume]

That will be the next step if the problem can't be resolved.

[Dead Voodoo Doll]

Yes' date=' they are specifically targeting us.[/quote']

a disgruntled player?

[Dale]

a disgruntled player?

A person who I better never be told the location of.
