Server Down
 
Well, The servers down for a day atleast. Heres what happened.
Someone, (who exactly we have a few leads we are working on with the data center, who will be contacting the FBI) has been carrying out DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks on the game server.
The first time this happened the data center shut down all my servers. Whoever you are, you do realise that not only do I run Project 1999, I also run EQEmulator. Your actions had resulted in them shutting off the EQEmulator server, which obviously hosts the loginserver, which obviously means that NONE of the eqemu servers can be connected to. Is that your goal? You want to kill an entire project because you probably had one disagreement with a GM From this server?
Whoever you are, if you want to discuss your motivation and reasons with me, and possibly come to a resolution, please feel free to contact me at Rogean@comcast.net. If you have a dispute with one of the other GM’s I can try to resolve it.
The game server is offline until we conclude the investigation, but if this continues to happen Project 1999 may be down for much longer.

Update: The server should hopefully be back up mid-day tomorrow. There will be a patch before the game server is back up to address some changes and issues. Updates will be posted here when the server is back up.

original everquest is so hard people nerd rage this bad? :p

In all seriousness, the attack is quite childish and these people/person(s) should invest their time elsewhere.
