Game down, DDOS attack

[jezer]

The CG residents are pretty much convinced Jezer has gotten himself lost in the NZ bush and are currently mounting a search party of their own!

I'll be back you mother suffering seahogs!

[Dragoth]

And down we go again ?

And I'm all by myself

The lag is creeping up again and I'm getting that uncomfortable feeling

When I saw this :

I do not know Dr. Would you like create a new character?(Y/N)
.....or something along those lines.

I thought ok, I'm doomed

Ok, relieved Muahahaha

Good day,

Just out of curiosity, is anyone else having pfile problems? This is not the first time for Dr, not sure what's up with that. Logged in this evening to only appear as lvl 1.

Current solution is to reinstate character a few days before the mishap. Everything in between the "few days" is lost(eq/exp/etc etc).

I'm not sure what the issue is but there are problems connecting to the game tonight.

I'm unable to connect using my client. I tried the flash client:

Trying to connect to g.slothmud.org:6101
Unable to connect: socket error.
Unable to connect: security error.
Trying to connect to g.slothmud.org:6101
Connected.
Connection closed by server.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I managed one successful connection (with the Flash client) and everything was working fine. But then I accidentally closed the window No luck since

Please post more. We need moar info!
