Worst DDoS experience gets 20k

[Loli Pops]

I was masterfully PvP ing some random non factor scrub. Yo one handed son for real. I started lagging and had to speed up my fap. (Naaamean?) I shoot early like slow mo shit and it hits the screen as I HT with my free hand in conjunction with the sweet release of YT. Kodak moment son.

Where do I collect the prize?

meh maybe, but id assume that most 60's are fairly well established. Id like to give it to someone that could get the most out of it.

Not for the money, just to put things in perspective =P

The DDoS hit me while I was saving a group of noobs from a deadly train at CE in Mistmoore. I watched as the noobs were slaughtered by dark elf bitches but I could do nothing because of the lag. In my grief I raised my hands up and prayed to God for forgiveness. My Mom heard my desperate cries and walked down into my basement to ask what happened, and I asked her for a jar of nutella and some croissants.

Just then, the TMO DDoS virus struck my hard drive like a 1967 Chevy Malibu with a V6 8 cylinder engine with 2400 cubic feet of torque. The virus opened my CD rom drive, which knocked into an empty 2 liter bottle of diet dr. pepper. The bottle tipped over on its side and rolled across the room to where my mom was walking to get my food. She stepped on the bottle, which rolled, and she lost her balance and stumbled thrashing about my basement.

I watched in stunned silence as my CD rom drive kept opening and closing and a laughing skull popped up on my screen. It navigated to my banking website, where it withdrew all my money and donated it to p99. My Mom rolled all the way across the basement and slammed into the box of circuit breakers, which exploded in a flurry of bright flashes like those fireworks that go BOOM and then THPTHPTHPTHPTHP.

My basement was in flames and all my money was gone so I decided it was time to go. I rolled out of bed and onto my hoveround-- I jammed the key into the ignition as the flames lapped all around me. "Start you piece of shit!", I yelled dramatically as the engine turned. Just when I thought I was going to cook, the engine started and I drove toward the stairs, fishtailing around burning piles of pizza boxes and soda bottles. I kicked my hoveround into gear and drove up the stairs as a pillar of flames erupted behind me, engulfing everything and spreading into the rest of the house.

I skidded across the kitchen and reached my arm out, barely managing to grab the nutella as I sped out the door into the entryway. Then, to my horror, I watched as the ground beneath me and the front door collapsed, revealing the burning basement below. Tears filled my eyes as I looked down and watched as my monitor flickered off and Everquest disappeared from the screen. "I'll come back for you. I promise" I whispered as I gunned my engine and raced toward the fiery chasm. I hurled forward at top speed and, just as my wheels were leaving the precipice, the flames reached my stockpile of canned cheese-whiz, which exploded and propelled me and my hoveround out the front door and onto the street.

I hit the ground and spun a couple times before drifting to a stop. As I sat there trying to catch my breath while also eating nutella, I realized what I needed to do-- I had to find a new computer on which to play Project 1999. I drove down the street toward the sunset, but just before I went over the horizon, I stopped and did a perfect 180' stationary turn in my hoveround. A worried look appeared on my face as I looked into the camera.

"Before all this happened I prayed to God for forgiveness. I did this because I was the one who trained those noobs at MM CE. And now they're all dead and I think one of them was bound in Firionia Vie". I turned my head and looked down the street toward Fry's Electronics. "Shit's classic", I said as I revved my engine, set a course for Fry's, and peeled out into the night, leaving only the smoldering wreckage of a home and an empty nutella jar in my wake.

I'm not a lowbie by any means but I thought I'd share my DDoS experience.

Disclaimer: I am aware that ground transferring items is dumb and completely unsafe, ESPECIALLY during server lag. But I have balls of steel, and my story begins..

On Friday July 12, 2013 at 10:00pm CST I attempted an item transfer in Lesser Faydark between two of my characters. During this time I had no idea what the server was in for over the next couple of days. It was right as the attacks that night started, but I had enough confidence that my transfer would go as planned seeing as I logged and relogged numerous times between the spikes. Needless to say, all of my items were lost while trying to relog after dropping.

List of Items I Know For Sure Were Lost
Fingerbone Hoop
Earring of Essence
Enshrouded Veil
Cloak of Flames
Fungus Covered Scale Tunic
Hardened Clay Bracelet
Djarn's Amethyst Ring
Platinum Fire Wedding Ring
Runebranded Girdle
Midnight Mallet
Ring of Shadows
Reaper of the Dead
Bracer of the Hidden
Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring
Fishbone Earring
a random Bronze weapon
1 stack of Water
2 stacks of Rations
Bag of the Tinkerer's
Treasure Hunter's Satchel

i went to log on my main and it turned in to a ranger

So me and my friend started playing P99 recently maybe a month or so ago. We used to play as teenagers so its been an awesome trip so far level 19 enc so far and friend is 17 sham. Onto my story of corpse retrieval hell from unrest and dagnors cauldron. So we were having fun in unrest on the wall doing our awesomeness charm tanking (awesome that enchanters are able to actually charm instead of how live was). All the sudden the lag started being really weird mind you its been smooth since we started playing p99 so we figuring just lag spikes. All the sudden shit stops responding and we decide to try zoning out for saftey since a ghoul with a giant sword is no good if I cant recharm! Welllllll we do end up zoning but the server crashes and we were not able to get back right away. Decide to log for the night because not even the forums.wiki were responding so we called it. Next day we log on were dead and naked and no corpse to be found in unrest. Trying to figure out where they disappeared to tried searching unrest says theres no corpse to be found. so like WTF! decide just for the hell of it to check again in dagnors cauldron and low and behold says corpse is out of range blah blah. So after about an hour of trying to figure out where the hell we died i ran into the water straight out from the ent of unrest and look at that corpses at the bottom of the lake. After freaking out about my poor stein of moggok in a lake corrosion and all ! Crude stein no damage done =p.

PS another crappy moment I just bought a bunch of spells from the innothule swamp shaman vendor for him and the ddos crap started happening while I was trading to him, all 5 spells inthe trade window inside upper guk trade gets cancelled for some reason and the spells poof.....60pp gone.

Thanks for my listening to my rant!

P99 Rocks no matter what and I will stay as long as I can, brings back all the old great memories and new ones to be made.

So here I go... My experience of DEATH due to DDos attack or whatever caused the massive lags.
I only have one character active in P99. This is my Dark Elf Enchanter of some 16th levels... Ingame name's Pauillac, named after a famous french red wine. But who cares about the color of my skin if I drink *too much...

Anyhow. i just reached level 16 a few days ago. I must say that grand is my joy and grand the feeling of eventually being able to cast Breeze and other Haste on my fellow Norrathians... Finally, after alot of hard work, I know my presence in groups would be appreciated. *A whole new world awaits me., right?

But... First I got to get the spells. I check my pockets, and think I should be fine. I got 30pp. I need to go get first my latest animation due to my current loc... Wiki says this is being sold in HKK. Great... I currently live in Upper Guk. Does not sound too bad, I'll take the long road. Lag at this time is non existent. My main worry is Kithicor Woods. It's something like 8am when I zone in. Should not be a problem. And then, all of a sudden, somewhere in the middle of the zone, server freakup. I go LInkDead. I rush back into it to discover that I am still alive, full hp, no worries. lag is still there, and no way to display world time. i go LD again. Got back and know for sure night has fall, and undead are all over the place. I go LD near a Risen Caporal. Fantastic. Next I'll log I'm sure I'll be dead. I decide to wait like 20min before login back. Chance is not with me : I am back at my bind point : Innothule Swamp. *Good thing, I must have died close to the wall. I rush back to Kithicor, 10am. I can find my corpse no worries. I rush to Highpass, invis. Zone in HHK, cast illusion human, rush to the first floor and go LD. Got back to see I am just in front of freakin two human guards in my natural DE form, I rush, try to escape, run, run, try to gate, they beat me to death in 2sec. Now my corpse is.... somewhere. I am preparing to CR from Guk, but no idea exactly where my corpse is.*
Not extraordinary, but I fear this is going to be a painful CR.
Ps : 20k is far too much for a lowbie, split it into 4 or 5 for the 4 or 5 best stories!
