"I mean, does he have to sit there and hit enter on his keyboard to lag the server out?

Line of the day.

You know when I really think about it, if the Ancient Cyclops was a real player, that's probably what he would look like.

Queston.

Why is it that when i login i can't see any servers besides p99 anymore? Anyone else have this issue?

I was hoping to play on another emu server in the mean time but i'm unable to see any other servers. It's been like this since yesterday.

Thats because its the beginning of the end of the world, and it is all starting with P99.

Seriously, this attacker will never really "win" now, he'll just inconvenience us all at worst. With double the population now as compared to during the first wave of attacks, I'm sure the staff can get all needed donations to keep everything up and running, further increase the ddos security at the datacenter, etc... It will eventually stop and we can go back to playing again... after the first time this happened it didn't happen at all again for about 4 straight months.

He took the server DOWN, and he/she coulden't have done it at a better time...right after this project gets an honorable mention in a big-time video game magazine. This is damn near something that will go down in video game history.
He didn't take anything down, Rogean and Nilbog did. I also seem to remember a post about a server upgrade at some point which would require some downtime to get the server delivered to the hosting site and for setup. I think that it all just pretty much happened at the same time.
