Man, Last time i started this server we got DDoS'd to death. i started 2 days ago again and same thing haha. Tough luck but amazing server. Im kinda broke but im down with the donating thing. I cant do hundreds or thousands like some of you, but im sure us little 10s and 20s can make an impact too. ill even pay 15 a month to play.

my question is though, could that get the admins sued by sony because they would be getting consistant "donations" (lawfully accepted as payments)?

reason i ask is because through my reasearch alot of firms, that garuntee success and run major servers that need heavy protection, want like 1.5k-8.5k a month which would require a monthly payment from us.

Last note. Im new to taxes, but could this be concidered a non profit organization where we could use it as a tax write-off? might allow some of us to donate more.


crap I gott hit level 14!!!!
Same here. When I left they had been DDOS'ed and when I come back they had been DDOS'ed for about a week or so. Can't win!

If 1 person sitting in his underpants can win, why even bother keep playing.

So the options are more money or no EQ, heck i could probably get Sony to make a p99 server in less then 2 weeks.

I would feel embarrassed and just after the TTH article.

You couldn't get Sony to make a classic server in a year.

Perhaps this is the reasoning for the attack, SoE/Federales or not.

It would be really clever to attack a server in order to force them to spend money at your business for a solution.

So, whoever has Rogean's ear for solutions that cost money is likely the attacker. Ever watch 24? The threat is always from within.

Well I suppose if we get an announcement from Rogaine sometime soon explaining that SoE 'bought' his server after discovering his project in that article, that will answer alot of theories.
...Perhaps the PJ '99 staff are negotiating with corporate SoE employees right now as I speak?

Rogean, get us some IP addresses from a packet trace and I am sure some of us would be happy to address the threat(s) in other ways. Can the colo also not block some of them at the core/edge as it's obviously abuse?
