If somehow anonymity was removed, and your name was revealed to be "Joe Blow, 123 Easy Street, San Diego, CA" would you be so quick to call someone an "internet tough guy?"

Let me get this straight. People used to spend loads of cash on ebay characters and equipment. Do things utterly stupid like camp Zordac Ragefire. Come home from work at lunch to kill placeholders in a camp.

I'm kind of surprised no one has been killed in real life over an online game. Maybe they have, and I just haven't heard about it.

God knows, people get killed over some trivial crap, this kind of thing wouldn't be a reach at all.

I guess the only thing that bugs me worse than an internet tough guy, is someone mocking that internet tough guy. Wimpiest guy in the world is the toughest if he has a gun and you don't. If someone is mad at you, and knows who and where you are you don't have much protection if he decided to come up behind you and squeeze a trigger.

So just give it a rest ok? I'm sure someone is angry and just working off steam.

But you never know.

Well... that really sucks. I was having a blast on here. Anyone able to simply explain why we cant reuse our existing server?

This is classic sociopath behavior, your anger and outrage at the occurrence is actually what they are after. Sure, they (for lack of a more accurate term) screwed over a bunch of innocent people...but they like that. You want to hurt them, forgive and forget, and move on with your lives. Those without a real life "audience" of people that care for them, and people they care about, find online outlets to wield pseudo "power" over. Trust me, your real life infinitely places you in an echelon light years ahead of their stunted social circle. Pity them, and go do any number of equally rewarding things, since all they have to lord over you is a video game.

So sad....

Because the data center terminated it.

[Skifire]

So P1999 was hosted on a bigger, corporate server (more than just a home set up) and due to the attack the company closed it?

And they will not restart it?

[Rogean]

If you were that company, and one of your clients who pays one subscription per month, is getting attacked, affecting the connectivity of DOZENS of servers.. what is the logical decision? To deal with it and potentially lose dozens of customers because they're servers are going down every day, or get rid of the single cause of the problem, the one server being attacked. One subscription lost is better than dozens of lost subscriptions.

[Skifire]

I see. And is that data on there just gone forever? (sorry this is all new to me)
