Game down, DDOS attack

[*Splork*]

Somebody is pissed off at us and we have no other option than to let the child play his games. Sloth will be back once the offender gives up.

We have contacted the appropriate authorities and are quite aware of whom is involved. The situation will resolve itself.

Please thank Jake when you see him for the hours of work on our server.

I am extremely sorry that somebody feels the need to affect all of you this evening and possible longer...

Jake worked some magic and we are alive, once again.

Enjoy, life is good!

Dear Disgruntled Player,

Sorry you don't like the game. Can I log in now? I've just spent 18hrs out of the past 24 tracking missing people in the NZ Bush, with 3hrs sleep plus a little at the wheel driving home. I was looking forward to sitting back and relaxing before I hit the sack. Why do you have to spoil this for me? Can you just move on please?

huh huhhuh, he said 'bush'

Can it be somehow related to TMC ranking?
A ddos attack is not something a lone disgrunted player can set up, unless he/she is real hardass in networking/coding.

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!

This is so lame. Can they keep us down indefinitely?

[*Splork*]

We are working on a couple of solutions, obviously we can not say much here because its quite targeted towards our specific game and ports.

Jake will be awake soon and hopefully help, as he did last night.

Sorry,
Splork

Keep voting on TMC, my guess is its a player or admin from another game or a disgruntled player of ours.

We are #1 on tmc by 7 votes. Keep voting people- if this attack has been set upon us by another mud, we can at least reverse their expected effect. (Albeit, I think it is likely a disgruntled char that has too much time on their hands.)

What kind of lame person does this anyway? Grow up.

The question I have is/has this happening to other muds also, or are we the only mud under attack by the man with a tiny pp?

[Yasik]

TMC rank: 1

Quite an achievement for a mud that's offline. We can't respond to your pings over the sound of how awesome we are.

[Ker]

Voted!

Though it is worrying me that some of the IP's are from Malaysia.

Hope it gets sorted

[Tuck]

may i see info on ddos attack by email? there is many things to filter them out. Or route IP to my hardware cisco that can block them all.

hope this will end soon.

Thanks Splork and Jake
