[Kleptomania]

tune in

hes gonna doooooo ittttttt.

[drelk001]

doubt it

[Jarlon]

HOLY SHIT!!!! How did you know this was coming!?! I cant wait to see the raid scene on red!!

[Littlegyno 13.0]

Rogean: But what happens if you plan everything and then the server gets ddos'd into a large crater

Rogean: You might want to pay a visit to eashan then

Rogean: *** I'm about to post that *** on the front page of P99, I could give a *** about people who threaten to ddos the server

Rogean: Seriously though he does own and carry firearms so I really wouldn't go knocking

Rogean: Anywhosies.. hesitant to release velious while there is an active ddos threat.. so we need to find a solution for that
Rogean: and this isn't some silly kid spending ten bucks for a bot army
Littlegyno: can we donate more for ddos protection?Rogean: Well
Rogean: since you mention it

Rogean: we already pay for a level of ddos protection from our data center, but to protect against a seriously funded attack, we would need protection upstream.. those kinds of solutions run in the tens of thousands
Rogean: We may, but we're still gathering information and evaluating options.

Rogean: and I really really hate to collect that amount of money and still not even garauntee we can stop it. You have BILLION dollar companies being taken offline all the time by the groups like anonymous and lulzsect, etc..
Rogean: @Littlegyno not right away but we would feel out the community to see the response. If it's positive we would announce a date. Keep in mind these companies make you sign 1 year agreements but we may have an option for a 30 day refund. If that's the case we need to time it very well
Rogean: yea that was absolutely crazy with the kickstarter.. did I tell you guys how much p99 players alone raised?

Rogean: even though nobody ended up paying any of it

[Littlegyno 13.0]

everything else was sirken talking to two huge faggots about the blue raid scene.

[Drakaris]

[Grimjaw]

just setup monthly donation goals and publicize dat shit. seeing that donation bar not full each month would motivate a lot of people.


also where can I hear more about this ddos threat? any threads ?

[Ereni]

I haven't been on blue for a month now and most of the ideas, "problems", and ignorant perceptions of what class C really is made me want to barf profanities at them. And I'm not a "barf profanities at them" type of person. I'm kicking myself for not being available for this stream. Can someone please log on and murder me on the red server please?

Your mom plays on blue!

[Gotze]

You cant please like 6 guilds that can raid high end content , only solution is velious <3

[Jimmybones]

When velious is released it will either be announced by the server admin/owner of EQEMU (rogean) or the project lead and head dev (nilbog) - not a lowly GM like surcan.

[Jarlon]

who is threatening to DDOS?

[Doors]

Yeh blues been bad. Server populations a double edged sword. It's great for casual play but terrible when it comes to the servers bottle necks and epic camps.

Got a good laugh tonight listening to someone from A-Team talk about competition with server repops. Mobilizing at 4am on sim repop, can't say I miss those days at all.

enjoy

If anything, Class C is doing Class R a favor for keeping them from getting pixels so that Class R will have a more classic experience come Velious launch.

You're welcome Class R... where they want to compete but set up a rotation among themselves anyways!

[Smedy]

Brogean is right, there's literally no efficient way of stopping a serious ddos attack, it's sad that people are so mad and rustled they would do that but hey wutdo

I prefer if we hold out on velious until the end of this year, i want a polished experience, not a gyno exploit bugged mobs and fix bugs after i've already gotten my shit experience (nihilum on red99)

[Kringe]

Someone pissed off bodu wtf! Smedy!

[Kergan]

there's literally no efficient way of stopping a serious ddos attack

This.

There is a reason companies like Amazon, Google, etc have been taken down. You literally cannot stop a brute force DDoS.

[heartbrand]

That's the most unamerican shit I've ever heard. Can't they trace the source and arrest them? I don't know interwebs btw.

Wut

[Littlegyno 13.0]

Wut

dunno, she keeps talking about blue raid rotations like any of us have a FUCKING clue wut she's talking about.

[Kergan]

Sure. Then they show up at your grandma's doorstep and arrest her because her 2003 edition Gateway desktop got zombified by a virus. :P

[fred schnarf]

That's the most unamerican shit I've ever heard. Can't they trace the source and arrest them? I don't know interwebs btw.

it can be completely blocked by decent people with decent skills

the only thing they can do is what rogean said, attack UPSTREAM and find an area that isnt protected, but to live in fear of terror or terrorism is to have lost

release velious stop pretending anyone gives a shit about eq emu enough to spend thousands ddosing it so virgin nerds cant kill wyverns and giants

[Kergan]

You cannot completely block a DDoS attack. Most methods of "stopping" it involve taking your own shit down anyway. It isn't a hack, it is just a flood of legitimate traffic that overloads the system and/or circuit. The huge sites like Google mitigate attacks by overpowering them with retarded amounts of geographically dispersed bandwidth and even they have been taken down with exceptionally organized efforts.

With P99 you could have some success if you involve upstream providers to essentially cut off the traffic flow when you identify the source of an attack but any sort of reactive approach like this is just gonna make the server laggy as fuck and barely playable instead of hard down anyway.

[Chronoburn]

Yep, too much prons and you join the botnet army.

[Nirgon]

If just the ring war and/or sleeper script is holding this up, give it to red to test

[loramin]

Simple solution to the DDOS: have patience.

In other words, release Velious, let all the neckbeards who just can't wait scream in agony for a week or two while the attack goes on, and then eventually the attacker will get bored/run out of money and those of us with the patience to wait a week or two can enjoy the expansion.

[Kergan]

I'd be disappointed if they are delaying the release of Velious because of a potential DDoS attack. Was that said in the stream or something?

The government doesn't take ddosing srsly unless its a big company even then not hard to hide behind a fuckton of proxies.

Ddos them back, the only hway

[Rangerest]

Who cares Velious was the first content to introduce stat mudflation.

Shit Expansion and took everquest in the direction that made it suck.

[fred schnarf]

total nonsense, ddos is very serious and they will arrest you VERY QUICKLY and no amount of proxies can hide shit, the problem is 99.999% of ddos attacks are OUTSIDE THE US and they cant do shit about those.

[Kergan]

It's pretty hard to identify the perp in a DDOS attack because more often than not its a bunch of infected machines of people who don't even know they've been compromised.

I agree though you get found out you're going to federal pound me in the ass prison.

*with 4 week advanced warning

[Kergan]

Yeah not next week either I will be at Disney world.

[Sear]

Listen...

We need that sweet Velious goodness. Point me at these DDOSing neckbearded manchildren and I'll call their parents on them.

Just put me in the game, Coach.

[bouncerr 2.0]

postponed till dec 2016

[Chronoburn]

This sounds vaguely familiar to North Korea and The Interview

[Kergan]

lol what was that hax0rs name on SZ? The one that Velael found out his r/l info, called his parents and ratted him out and we never saw him online again?

[lethdar]

neo the one

[Kimm Bare|y]

ANYBODY WHO PLAYS BLUE IS A FAGGOT.

[Kergan]

neo the one

Hah yeah. Man, one of the few times where taking the game world to real life worked out for the best.

[Meiva]

Yeah not next week either I will be at Disney world.

I want to come :-/ I'm good with kids and don't touch them Innapropriately and stuff.

Seriously though children. A DDOS threat isn't postponing Velious. The fabulous leader is trolling you. There is simply likely more work to be done before release.

[Kergan]

Yeah why delay the release based on the DDoS attack you 100% know is coming and 100% can't do anything about.
