What the fuck is a DOS attack anyway? Can somebody explain roughly what it is and why I've literally never heard of it outside of this emulated everquest server? It's annoying having no idea what it is and just hearing "welp, DOSed again!".

DDOS stands for 'distributed denial of service'. So a DOS attack would be someone sending tremendous amounts of data through to the site they're attacking in order to make it not function properly. a DDOS is the same thing done from many different computers at many different locations, which is a ton harder to prevent.

Hahah wow, so people actually got angry enough over emulated everquest to coordinate a widespread "attack" in order to bork the server? What a bunch of virgins.

If Nilbog is game, I'd def be down for rolling again.

[Soapninja]

so are our characters gone?

[Aeolwind]

Not going to comment at this juncture till I've had time to confer with the others.

[Vonyor]

No, they already said in IRC our characters arent gone. So its their choice to reinstate them on next server.

So um ya, ive been super mellow about all the guild drama and everything. But if you don't save our characters I would totally ragequit. And not like the other people who ragequit and just played alts for a couple days.

[Vonyor]

Ok i lied, im too addicted to quit

:-(

DDoS doesn't affect the servers files - Just the over all network.

Characters should be safe, 99.99% positive, even though i'm less than 24 hours new to the server and only have a level 2 druid.

hey brew check this out, ever heard of a trojan? remember back in like 98 when mobman came out with sub7? dewd you can bind shit to legit scr/exe files and the person never even knows they're infected unless you make yourself known. man so much hard work to get a widespread attack, damn virgins.
