Had a donate button since day 1

Server needs help guys

Wasn't it during the Tiggles and Rogean interview where he said he basically didn't give a shit if the server got ddos'd?

Correct me if im wrong please, I couldn't find the interview.

I have absolutely zero problem donating any amount of money to the server to fix this....but I think I speak for most people when I say I would want some sort of concrete evidence that the money would actually be used to find a solution quickly.

Not true, they have been working on this server for 5 years, too many people commited. This is Nilbog's baby. Please keep this thread on topic.

There are ways to combat DDOS, but all of them require the owners/developers of p1999 to take action. This is apparently not something they are either capable or willing to do. I don't think donating money would make much difference in this situation.

Sadly, there's nothing we can do as players. This is a free service, after all. We shouldn't expect (nor do we rightfully deserve) any results.

I'm going off what the lead GM has said almost verbatim, again please tell me otherwise, so I can pretend I'm not remembering this for whatever reason.

Not true on that part, Rogean said he could care less about the drama(caused by players like Systolic), but he is working on the actual fix via what I have heard from Sirken.

A few people who are technically savvy in the Network Engineering field have posted in another thread about different types of hardware(although expensive) that can completely mitigate this problem.

We just need to hear back from staff on what will actually help.

Well then, I hope that fixing the issue is well on its way, thank you for the heads up.

Just died twice to this...i would love to run into this guy in a dark alley.

And given a concrete number and a posted plan of action from devs i would donate as well.

"It is going to cost us x dollars to impliment y hardware. Once donation goal is reached we will have hardware installed in 2 days" etc
