Server Down

Friend of a banned item-duper, apparently.
Always seemed the most likely scenario considering the timing.

Yes Rogean was contacted.

The DDoSer contacted me directly and told me he was doing it this time because of us banning his friend for abusing a dupe exploit.

He posted that on the FoH boards.



Edit: Crover beat me to it!

Oh snap! Someone of and/ or relating to Fires of Heaven felt bad when someone pants'd him, therefore revealing the insignificance of his e-peen to the world, and proving once and for all that his douchefaggotry was directly related to overcompensation issues??? WHAT?? Give me a fucking break. FoH was like this from the very beginning back on Veeshan. For some reason, I am in no way surprised.

A Game Master shouts, "Fires of Heaven, you are hoarding all the wealth and loot for yourself and exploiting the laws of gaming to your own advantage beyond their natural intent! Either stop or I shall be forced to intervene for the rest of everyone, ever, in the whole world who isn't you, of whom you're taking advantage!"

Fires of Heaven shouts, "It's their own fault! They should have thought of that before they didn't exploit first! You're all just jealous because we were assholes first, not because being an asshole is just generally frowned upon by society and God alike! Republicans for Voldemort!"

A Game Master says, "I really don't think all Republicans are for Voldemort..."

Fires of Heaven begins casting a spell.

i would say get a better virus scaner with realtime protection ... or update your virus databases more often [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Probably ought to cut down on the porn, too.

Anyway, what a bummer. Good luck getting things back up and going.

Fuck him, he can't keep it going forever.

What a loser, yeah, fuck him, the 1999 team fix this and we can go on playing.

1 - HUGE thanx to all the people involved in running this server, keep up the good work!
2 - Im sure the retard who's attacking the server isn't reading this forum anyway, so any elaborate insults feel like a waste of bandwidth. Bottom line is they can only DDoS the server, not the community!
3 - DDoS protection isnt rocket science, just abit upscale for a volunteer project like this. I realize it's impossible to go out and "ask" for money to protect against it, without drawing SoE's attention, and going into a more expensive solution without knowing there will be money to pay for it must be a hard choice to make.
I hope you find a way to keep the server running, in the meantime i'll make a donation for the fun time i've had so far =) =)

Though I've only been playing for a few weeks, THANK YOU to the devs for facilitating this experience and to the community at large -- both will guarantee my return after this issue is sorted out.

That said, it's times like this I wonder what it would be like if the US had its own version of China's 人肉搜索 (usually translated as "Human Flesh Search") netizen vigilante network. Sometimes it's nice to get a reminder that the internets aren't as anonymous as some people would like them to be.
