Whoever is DDoSing the server is a poo poo head

[Portasaurus]

Yeah I said it.

[myriverse]

Is it still going on? Because I detect no lag or anything.

[Portasaurus]

Just got the blank server screen for about 10 minutes before I could finally log in. We'll see how long I'm able to play for...

[myriverse]

A totally blank server screen would be a problem on your end, not the DDoS on P99.

[Splorf22]

Nah I can't log in but the rest of the internet is there. Seriously who the fuck DDOSes a fucking emulated everquest server? Immersion levels off the charts

[Hawala]

FYI: DDoS is a federal crime, and if the value of the server is over 500 bucks it's considered a felony. Which means federal prison.

I encourage Rogean to report it to the FBI

Neckbeards gonna get raped.

Clearly you were not around pre-kunark during the worst of the DDoS attacks. That was the constant question: "who the fuck DDoS's an emulated server?!?!?" Apparently, there are people that get off on it. At one point, we didn't know if the server would ever come back up and kinda thought the whole project was scrapped. This will blow over too.

[myriverse]

Nah I can't log in but the rest of the internet is there. Seriously who the fuck DDOSes a fucking emulated everquest server? Immersion levels off the charts
Still, the various emu servers are different. A DDoS against P99 would not affect Hidden Forest, for instance, and you would see it listed. So you would not be getting a blank server screen.

And at the same time as you, I was logging on and off just fine.

This. Law enforcement can arrest these guys and would love to do it. And considering the revelations on how powerful their cyber-force is, these guys couldn't hide from them for long.

Hopefully it's being reported to the feds.

Yes the FBI should definitely get involved in a free video game being taken offline. Screw finding people on this list, http://www.fbi.gov/wanted, P99 IS DOWN!

Always love this logic. You know, because the FBI is like five people only able to do one thing at a time. Like the Harlem Globetrotters really, without the multi-colored balls.

[Tiggles]

These Ddoss attacks are currently timed when ever TMO engages a dragon in VP. I have turned my stream off but they still continued as soon as we engaged only TMO and a few FE in zone.

May be a coincidence but I doubt it

[Hawala]

It has nothing to do with the fact that it's EQ. It's private property being vandalized across state lines.

[Adolphus]

Exactly. Considering how fucking gigantic the intelligence and federal agencies have become, they're probably looking for more work at the moment, not less . . . lol

Yes since like thursday friday for sure the server has been lagging out all day and night there's no way anyone can deny it. If you play on the server its been un playable all weekend.

[abacab-godking2]

It's not DDOS. Server needs to be migrated. It will only get worse. Once again, I refer you all to the greatest thread ever created; The Level Of Idiocy.

[Frieza_Prexus]

What's your point? The individual is still probably within the U.S., and even if he wasn't there is, in theory, no jurisdictional issue.

This is not to say he is in any way likely to be prosecuted, because it's almost laughably unlikely. But, his original point is correct. He's engaging is a federal crime that carries some unpleasant penalties.

It's not a coincidence. That's the only motive I can see to attack the server. You guys incited drama somewhere with another guild and they're fucking the whole server over to get back at you.

A ddos attack only affects the players, it doesn't affect the staff, so logically they wouldn't accomplish anything, nor have I received any ultimatums (which we would ignore anyways.. why would we cater to any demands, it doesn't affect us.. sucks for you guys though).

The staff has already said they dont care about the players. If the server is doing well thats all they care about.

If you think a GM or Guide running around live streaming is helping anyone but the server, then you are a fool.

I think you misread that. Rogean stated that the Ddos attack is directed at TMO raids, not at p1999 itself is what he said. The stated that taking down the server doesnt "hurt" the staff. Since this isn't an income source for them he's absolutely right. He isn't really harmed. It's the people who just want to play the game and have fun that get screwed.

As far as I can tell someone is really really butthurt. It's most likely Shinko or Xerxes considering that the precision timing of the attacks suggest real time intel. My solution would be to ban their accounts until they roll over on the person doing it. If it isn't them I'm willing to bet they know who it is.

[Awwalike]

You're retarded. It's not the 17 year old game that the law has anything to do with, it's someone's server that is being vandalized.

actually, ask Rogean if there is any legal action he can take against someone that DDoS's his emulated sony everquest server. nope he can't. he can get mad at them ban then and try to keep them away but this shit ain't a business homie.

[Descent]

What would you have him do?

Maybe not act like a douche all the time? I highly doubt the DDoSing, is not part of a guild rivalry, but maybe due to the GM staff being Nazi's for starters. I understand you need to put your footdown on things, but having GM's call your playerbase "morons" or cursing at them shouldn't be tolerated. I just don't understand that.

guys guys ... all i wanted to do was discuss the poo poo head nature of the dumb jerk faces who are doing the ddos. let's please direct all of our hatred properly at the assholes actually perpetrating the attack.

the guys who run this game have been doing so for *years* and i'm sure it already feels like a 2nd job for which they volunteer their time and energy. it's a big 24/7 undertaking. let's not turn this into a flame-the-guy-in-charge thread. i dont think there's anything they can really do about what's going on.

Like...you have talked to Shinko before right? I am pretty sure he had to have someone show him how to login to eq.

If every disgruntled player suddenly left tomorrow, I think P99 would continue just fine. I doubt it would be the case without the Devs.

In fact, it might even be better without the disgruntled.

Then to have a bunch of cheating bastards, NO SURPRISE, and winning ass bastards on the Forums. Wow and now I bet they don't make crap money wise off this anymore even though there are more people on. There is no good ending to this shit.

Why is it ok for you to jump to conclusions about FE as a guild regarding the DDOS attacks? Imo you're not helping the situation by spreading disinformation about the possible culprit.

people ddos just to be dicks. ddosing an empty server doesn't accomplish that. random streamers on twitch get ddos'd because of public skype info. dota2 matches have been cancelled because of teams getting ddos'd during matches. blaming FE or TMO for something that only takes 1 person to accomplish is asinine. and it definitely isn't only when tmo is raiding, wherever that is coming from is just stupid confirmation bias

Once IB takes over the server come velious we will have to shoulder the weight of all this griefing. Can't wait!

Its clearly TMO's M.O. to defame and bash anyone who comes close to incriminating them, and because so many blind peons on this server dream of suckling the teat of VP they flock to TMO's side no matter how damning the accusation or evidence... and when I talk about evidence, I am not talking about myself, I'm talking about the multiple people who have revealed flagrant cheating from within TMO in the past.
