Can someone please just verify what exactly is going on?

I've read about ddos and rmt's and duping and such, but I have absolutely no idea what any of that is or how the people who are doing this are accomplishing it. What exactly is going on that is causing the server to crash so much recently?

[Breeziyo]

project1999.org will answer your question as to why it's down now.

Only thing most people know otherwise is that there are indeed ddos attacks happening.

It's 2013 and we still have to tell people to use the forum search?

There is a strong possibility that the server will be wiped soon.

By strong, he means ZERO.

The devs already said the server will never be wiped.

[thufir]

we do not wipe

[Raavak]

Sirken locked all the "wipe it threads" and said, paraphrasing, gtfo.

1. Multiple DDoS attacks per day over the last few weeks

2. Rampant duping (confirmed by Sirken and Rogean. It's suspected the duping exploit is related to someone lagging the server through DDoS attacks)

3. One of the hard drives for the server had a massive failure.

4. Kunark has been out for almost 3 years now, 3/4ths of the server's lifespan has been in Kunark. Not classic, and stagnating everything.

5. It's been quasi-confirmed that a server reset is inevitable at this point.

Server will be wiped over my cold dead body.

I've been reading a lot of your posts recently, and I've come to the conclusion you are the biggest tool on these forums.

What's wrong with his statement? It's a fact.

I know it is. I'm not an Obama supporter. I'm just saying that going out of your way to make a political analogy in a thread about the server status is profoundly douchey.
