Implementor Erelei Posted May 3, 2013 Implementor Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'm sorry it has taken so long to give you guys an update. At this point, we've nothing more to share. The guy who is DDoSing our server has nearly 3000+ IPs/bots he's using to ping us, now, effectively overwhelming our new server. Whoever this is, they've got some money to do what they want with a botnet. And they're steadfast in bringing us down. We're still working hard (another 3am night for me, I'm sure) to bring back the MUD that we all love. Stay tuned fellas and gals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Okay thanks for the update- news is news. Thank you again for the hardwork- let me- hell Let US know, if we can do anything. We're family here right? a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killfiend Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 running a botnet with that many ips to ping a single server like this doesn't come cheap. It sounds more like someone who once played and is now seriously pissed about something and wants some serious revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 what could this be about? Any light to be shed upon this dark hour, these dreadful events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killfiend Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hopefully nobody gets rare purged or cabal kicked Just kidding, I hope you all do! But no seriously, i'm sad, i'm missing all my play time because of this dickweed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Implementor Erelei Posted May 3, 2013 Implementor Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 As far as I know, for the last 4 months, no one has been banned or "overly punished" in game. Not sure what this could be, but it definitely is not retaliation because of being banned or being punished in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cephirus Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I am just baffled that someone would waste money to attack a FREE game like this, revenge or not, if I spent that money on a botnet, I can think of at least ten other things I would do with it. To be honest, I would be okay with registered ip idea just to get the game going. Yes it would make it more difficult for new players to come play, but if we use that for a month or so, perhaps we can make Tina find something else to try and wreck.

Serinkane Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 It doesn't cost money to ddos, just a little time to get host computers. All those ****ty emails that spam your entire address book, then your buddies address book and so on until a thousand computers get infected. Its like a starfish multiplying.
