Server Down

[Bugaman]

How Large of a community donation would it take us to be protected from the DDoSer? Im being serious when I say this, I dont mind giving a lump sum to end this problem. Thanks and plz respond with a real answer GMs, If there is one, I dont know. Thats why Im asking.

I bet its that crappy SoD population. Most of them are complete douches.

I would also be willing to donate if it meant getting this server going any sooner........

I've seen alot of people say the attacker has no life, has no friends, is anti-social, and lives out of his mother's basement.... Well I don't have much of a life myself, don't really believe there is such a thing as a true 'friend', and still live at home, so if that's true, then i'll tell you what...the attacker is one HAPPY TROLL right about now.[You must be logged in to view images.

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.

Why would anyone openly announce that it was them DDOsing the server?

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.

Not saying ALL SoD players are douches.. Just a lot. I had to give it up because the people were becoming to much like WoW players. Enough about them though.

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.
