Dear god please. He doesn't have a fucking clue about anything that spews out of his mouth, and he does nothing but troll serious threads. Get rid of his ass.

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!!!!

Why doesn't Ro let the community here know what a GOOD host will run per month. Full DDOS protection, gigabits of bandwidth, and dedicated servers.

Give us a number, I think you'll be surprised...

Glad to be back btw, I was a tester here.

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.

Its prolly someone that SOE has employed doing it.

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.

Perhaps, but I have seen nothing like this on SoD. Been on that server since july 07 and have never heard of any attempt on the server. Not much for hackers, other than the occasional cheater who logs on too many toons or duplicates items.

I was on SoD since Feb 2005, and that server has been DDOS'd more than this server has. You haven't been there for the bad times SoD has been through. The reason they don't deal with it anymore, because SoD is pretty much stagnant. The amount of players on that server, is cut in half because of 2-boxing. So at the most, there is like 150-200 people playing at one time.

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?
