im sure the cops will get right on it! im still waiting to roll until the server is proven stable and tested further. its still beta basically. there are other projects to watch if this one continues to be unreliable.

Yeah, not sure how much the police actively go after DDoS attacks, unless it can be proven that there was significant monetary loss. Hell, look how long it took them to find the DDoS people who attacked Yahoo, Google & sites like that. I don't see it happening too much.

And I've also heard stuff about potential instability. I haven't experienced it because I don't play, but this thread made me read up on it and I heard a lot of the same things I saw here.

Another DDoS downage. :(

As for stability, the eqemu servers for the most part are stable (Played on PEQ and Irreverent and could probably count the number of "down days" in the last 4 months on one hand for both of those servers combined).

This project just seems to have drawn the ire of somone with a LOT of time on thier hands...

just a casual observer with nothing better to do... i dont play on p1999 yet. so by default that cant be me. the drama threads are fun though haha.

I think they could be running a better server if they had better coders. They havent fixed a lot of shit that other projects have encountered, documented, and fixed. Its amatuer night over there. woo wooooooo!:peace: ride the train:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Actually they seem pretty on top of everything but server security and they may have that under control.

Just wondering about your ID as you came here about the same time as the DoS attacks started.

During the day it's been ok. After about 9PM it a roller coster. The server goes up, i log in and kill two things, server goes down. If it wasn't for the yellow "DDoS attack incoming, get somewhere safe" messages it would actually be recreating my lauch week experience in 99 pretty well...

Anti-DDoS Hardware should be in by Wednesday, we will see what that does.

And back up again!

Looks like the lamer is at it again. Haven't been able to log in today or connect to the forum or EQemu forum so he must be attacking the login server this time because the forums also went down the last time the login server was attacked.

On the bright side, I figured out how to read the gibberish spell file that wasn't working for some people (mainly Titanium users) and finished fixing the Ranger spells all the way to 65 using a spell list from an EQ Mac forum since they never went beyond PoP. I also fixed the spells from 50-65 that were showing 255 instead of the appropriate level in the level field in case Rogean ever decided to use them. I also included any spells up to 65 that were introduced during Luclin or PoP, again in case they should ever be used on the server one day. I have also fixed the Paladin spells up to level 30 that weren't working. I've been looking at numbers all day and my eyes are getting tired so I'll have to continue fixes later assuming I can ever get online to test whether the fixes I made so far work. I also need to find a list showing when spells from 66 and up and those that were introduced after PoP were originally obtained before the levels got shuffled in case those spells are ever needed. sigh.

You guys know if the forums are under attack you have a place you can turn, right? We'd be happy to let you in. As long as shit for brains DDoSer doesn't follow you, that is!

We already have DDoS protection, IIRC. I'm going to look into that today just to make sure.

By the way, I just opened a ticket with our host company to see what we have in place. I want to be prepared just in case.

Torrinn, let your friend know if a bunch of you come over I'll gladly give you your own sub-forum in the Hub so you can discuss EQ to your heart's content.

And this is why everyone should have an IRC: So they can regroup after an attack.
