[AexDestroy]

Server started lagging like super insane crazy, DC'd me, and I havent been able to get a server list to refresh in the EMULauncher, and havent been able to log in either. Yet the forums say the server never went down and is still running atm....

Anyone else having this right now?

[pufen]

yes

[Dkwon13]

Having it here too.

[Clark]

servers working fine atm for me

[joppykid]

They are working but they are lagging like crazy. As far as the patcher goes right click oatcher background or tray icon and click start only everquest. This will at least get you to login.

[thedonkdonk]

Yea, I am having the same problems. It's not my ISP. http://eqemulauncher.moestaverne.com/ should look at better hosting. http://www.1and1.com/ is not exactly quality.

[Peck80]

Same issue here

[falkun]

the EMU launcher and the EQEMU servers are completely seperate. The launcher is an unofficial support tool.

[AexDestroy]

Best part is coming back to some fuck getting all your XP :'(

[Peck80]

Or logging in face to face with a gnoll hammering you down sub 10% before you're off the loading screen...

[AexDestroy]

Hope y'all are ready for some resurrection requests. This lag is insane.

[Taffan]

Yeah, I was pulling CoM mobs when it started. Lagged out, restarted to find myself dead :( Hope I can get a GM rez.

[Boilon]

well huge server problems for a guild raid in Fear. Not so good... really hope it gets resolved

[Clark]

ya this is crazy it was okay for 20mins then started back up

[Slave]

Server appears to be in major meltdown mode.

[skipdog]

I'm having an issue with p1999 wiki, this site, the launcher... everything p1999 related it seems.

Somebody mentioned that the patcher is an 'unofficial support tool' but it is in the setup guide and I could not figure out any way to connect to p1999 without the patcher.

Can somebody point me in the right direction on how to bypass the patcher? I had this same 'couldn't play because the patcher wouldn't load the serverlist' issue when I first re-installed a few days ago.

[Sithel1988]

no bro. its just you having these problems. theres only 20 people on the server and 370 people in the forums because its FORUM DAY.

[Sithel1988]

has swish came in to say first world problems yet?

Jeremy's packets of death

[Faron]

thought it was my shitty as shit knology internet to blame as usual, but not this time.

[Rogean]

Long story short some guy came into IRC threatening to ddos attack the server because he and/or his friend(s) didn't get immediate GM assistance with some lost items (I think he got scammed out of them? I dunno, the player and petition he referenced doesn't exist).

There's nothing I can do about it really. Even if I wanted to help him, he didn't make reference any valid petitions or accounts, but he also came in probably looking for a reason to flaunt his shiny new rental botnet.

[deneauth]

This seemed reminiscent of the DDoS attacks from 2010, thanks for the update Rogean.

[Clark]

Ya it did, hope there's some help with rezzes :l

This seemed reminiscent of the DDoS attacks from 2010, thanks for the update Rogean.

Yea what's sad is it's become even easier nowadays to rent ddos botnets. People can pay something like $100-$200 per day or maybe even per hour. More and more computers out there are being infected with trojans to build these networks. The server has been picking up a lot of players recently, and with more players means more douchebags with the attitude to ruin everyone's fun because the volunteers of this project didn't immediately jump to his aid.

[Tecmos Deception]

[Rogean]

Unfortunately I don't think there are any gm's available to do resses at the moment. I'm still at work, so is nilbog. I texted Sirken and I think Ephi is busy as well.

[Shamen]

I died in Dalnir :( anyone willing to come rezz me?

[Reklov]

Working in software development, and playing MMORPGs for over 11 years, I would have to say that the term "douchebags" fits this kind of behavior quite nicely...except the fact douche has an actual purpose. These morons on the other hand are just impatient asses.

I applaud your efforts p1999 team, and hope my wife and I can play again as soon as it is fixed.

[Rogean]

Sirken should be home in 10 minutes.

woot good news

[SamwiseRed]

ddos over some lost items? lol what a crybaby. would expect the mq banned to ddos before a dumbass who got scammed.

I hope you ban his accounts if you find out who it was. Fuck them!!

Distributed Denial of Service; flood a target system with so much traffic it either gets bogged down or crashes completely. Requires large amounts of traffic depending on the target system. It is increasingly easy to assemble the computing power required to do these things.

Edit: Distributed

Distributed, not direct. And it usually doesn't crash anything, it just floods the internet pipe of the server so much that legitimate traffic can't get through.

The ever worsening problem of people with no social skills or consideration for anyone except themselves. If they were playing a board game, they'd probably throw the board if they lost.

[rogario]

Still don t have server list from what i see on server pop seems back up worked before that attack thingy ! fairly new unsure what could be wrong

[Rogean]

What I don't understand is why people think it would benefit them. I guess if this were a business or some type of monetary/profitable operation, it might motivate someone to work it out with the guy. That's the complete opposite here. Attacking the server does nothing but aggrivate the players, which in turn demotivates the staff.

It has the opposite intent.

[Noudess]

I don't understand why people have no integrity, pride or self control. Are we really devolving into a world of adults that act like children? Look at even many of the forum topics here. More people are more interested with calling other people names, or trolling, than having any sort of constructive discussion. It's demoralizing how far we've fallen from the days of usenet, where trolls were swarmed on and banned.

I am pretty sure this is their intent, they are doing it to be malicious and to watch everyone suffer. The best thing to do would to put a sticky explaining the situation and not speak much of it. This just fuels their fire.

[SamwiseRed]

if this dude gets his fungi back it will set off a string of copy cats DDOSing for lewts. do not negotiate with terrorists.

[Masakizt]

Agree with this 110%...

You would think if it were a legitimate claim he would for one place a legitimate petition with names etc etc, and be more concerned with not obstructing the process to get his item back... And if it were a fungi you would assume he has been on this server awhile and should know that the GMs are volunteers and their decisions take time.

[manakari]

Has the issue been resolved?

[Shinko]

with more players means more douchebags with the attitude to ruin everyone's fun god sounds like a top tier guild we all know (tmo)

[SnappHF]

EQemu Launcher still not reaching webserver. :(

[SamwiseRed]

only use launcher to patch bro

[tenkakahn]

Lol the guy complaining about his fungi wasn't me =] in still patiently waiting for my issue to be resolved I petition was over two weeks ago lol well good luck with the server issues ill be playing again someday preferably sooner than later.

[SnappHF]

How do you start the game without the EQemu Launcher? I click on eqgame.exe... it says I need to start the EverQuest.exe. Doing that it says it can't connect to the server. So... back to the EQemu launcher.

Even from a monetary operation, *if* some type of negotiation took place, it would only be to stop the attack, and reveal the identity of the person who did it so they could press charges.

Companies do not negotiate with "internet terrorists"

also, fuck the guy who did this. wtf?

[Gurbuuk]

my rez is already done. Nice job from the team

[demoralizer]

unfortunately all of you are wrong. the server dropped as i was transacting to my bank.
i lost everything on my main (which was level capped and fully twinked).
i made support tickets and emails for 2 months. i was ignored on the situation and they claimed i was just trying to get free items and money.. i went through all the legit proper channels in order to get my account back to normal for a total of 2 freaking months.. but to no avail. then i was kicked for "arguing" when in reality i was justifying my situation. so i guess when your playing a board game with a horrible master you tend to get aggrivated after a while when you finally lose your patience.

when all you had to do was check logs to see i actually did lose everything on my char because of a server drop..

I dont care what your story is anymore. End of the day you had a total lack of respect for the rest of the community and the integrity of the server... I dont see the GMs listening to a word you have to say after you attack so might as well gtfo!

well its true.. fuck you if you dont believe me. also 2-3 years of working on a char go to shit because of others? you wouldnt be mad? and it wouldnt have been because of others if it was handled morally. but it wasnt. EQ was all i really played at the time too. i donated a few times to help server payments even. i was a good player. so dont talk about shit to me. i know what im doing and its justified in my mind. i cared about others opinions until i was trashed. i want to see you build a character for 3 years, then lose everything on it without doing nothing but transferring your shit to your bank inventory.
THEN get fucked by the GMS when your a donator from your own money and just stuck with a 55 naked. easily lost over 100,000 of plat worth in gear... i was ignored.. guess it was worth it :).. kinda like that massive marc guy that griefs everone but sucks the GM cocks so he cant be banned.

so i realized that the staff and admins are favoritisms of their own shit community

and what i meant by bank transaction was i went in the middle of nowhere and dropped all my items, and the server died. noone helped me get my shit back. numerous tickets were ignored. so fuck off think i care about your time? cry more babies.

[Swish]

I'd be mad (if its definitely true) but I wouldn't ddos the server as part of being mad.

Get down the gym and work it off on a punching bag. Maybe your guild/friends on the server will be able to help you out with replacement gear?

[Bamzal Sherbet]

transferring your shit to your bank inventory.

Thats the first intelligible thing you've said. Congratulations on forming a coherent sentence. You are now eligible for grade 1!

Did you try starting off with a detailed bug report, listing exact items, times, characters, accounts, actions performed, expected results, actual results, etc.. so that they can fully investigate the sitatuion?

I got 99 problems but a 13 year old elf simulator isn't one. I feel bad for you, son.

I got kicked from EC and given a 24 hour suspension for having an offensive surname a couple of years ago. Nobody told me I had a 24 hour suspension, it just appeared as if I'd been banned. I'd done GM events (PvP in OOT with Hobby) with the surname and nothing was mentioned at the time. Did I try to bring the server down? No.

While levelling my SK in Mistmoore around the same time (when MM was always overcrowded), a high level druid came in with a group of teens and proceeded to pull anything in the zone he could to the lake...forcing a couple of groups to either stand there looking at each other for 15 minutes or to leave and look for XP somewhere else. Did I try and bring down the server? No.

It's just a game, its natural to be frustrated when things outside your control interfere with your enjoyment... but responding the way you have done isn't achieving and won't achieve anything. There's no divine right to customer service here, you're in the presence of volunteers and other players who are in same boat.

If you have friends on the server I'd ask them to help you out, try fixing the problem by doing something positive, not negative.

Logged into my necro 6 hours ago to see that my Jboots were missing from my . Waiting 6 hours for a response but perhaps understandably they're probably busy rezzing people and doing more immediate stuff.

[Tarathiel]

About 50% of MMORPG players would consider themselves addicted to the game. Some have tried to quit but failed. Others become angry or irritated when they are unable to play. While there is no clear line between healthy and obsessive game-play, it is clear that problematic usage is not uncommon.

I call myself an addict, because I share the same symptoms as someone who's addicted to smoking, or alcohol, or some other substance. I think about EQ while I'm not playing, I get stressed when I have to go 24 hrs without logging on for a fix, and I wasn't able to quit when I tried. If that's not an addiction, I don't know what is. [m, 22]

There are a variety of mechanisms in MMORPGs that may encourage obsessive usage. MMORPGs employ well-known behavioral conditioning principles from psychology that reinforce repetitive actions through an elaborate system of scheduled rewards. In effect, the game rewards players to perform increasingly tedious tasks and seduces the player to “play” industriously. These environments also encourage making friends or joining guilds that then become sources of social obligations.

While it’s easy to point at game mechanics in explaining problematic usage, this approach is flawed because it completely dismisses the fact that MMORPGs appeal only to certain video gamers. To many FPS gamers, MMORPGs are too repetitive and slow to be fun. Fundamentally, any explanation of problematic usage has to take into account the players themselves. And once we do, we begin to see how MMORPGs may be seductive because they relieve many common psychological stresses. For example, players with low self-esteem gain a tangible sense of power in these environments. Players who feel they are undervalued or have no control in the real world can become take on valuable or instrumental roles. It is in fact the ability of MMORPGs to empower users through its mechanisms that drive problematic usage.

At the same time, we should also be more critical about the implications of labeling media forms as "addictive". Why is it that say that gamers can become addicted to online games when we don't question the average American who watches 28 hours of TV a week? Why is it that video gamer deaths get on the 7 o'clock news when people die all the time when they play golf or while watching TV?

See Also:

- The Seduction of Achievement in MMORPGs
- Problematic Usage: some reasons why I think the word "addiction" frames the issue incorrectly and some survey findings that show that problematic usage is just as much about the player as it is about the game.

You ever heard the saying "the pot calling the kettle black?"

Hey I did the same thing, but with about 10k. Had just come back from a year of inactivity, liquidated all my gear, bought a full suit for a new char, tried to drop transfer it and crashed.

But ya know what? I didn't even *think* to petition about it because I know it was my own dumbass fault and there ain't shit in the rules to protect you against this. Instead I promptly sold the naked main for 35k and spent the next 3 weeks in EC turning into 85k.

In the 2 month you spent sending "numerous tickets" why couldn't you be responsible for your own actions (ya, its YOU that fucked up) and be proactive?

You still have your noody char, you can also just smartly farm an easy lucrative camp, get some basic gear, start farming up, and hit the higher level cashcows. Ya it takes time, but you made a mistake. After all doesn't EQ make all of us pay for our mistakes with time?

Actually, you're probably going to have your noody main banned after what you've done. And on second thought, don't come back. Also don't drink and drive, you'll lose your legs.

there is no protection against DDoS. there are ways to stop it over time, by just banning all the zombies, but that takes a while.. besides that (and some other little things im not going to describe here) there is not much to do..

Evan just banning all the IPs doesnt really work. They The server still has to reject each of the requests from the banned IP's.

You ever heard the saying "the pot calling the kettle black?"

Hey I did the same thing, but with about 10k. Had just come back from a year of inactivity, liquidated all my gear, bought a full suit for a new char, tried to drop transfer it and crashed.

this just happened to me but probably way less. I try to dump transfer my best gear and lost it due to crash. Back to square one basically, I didn't think to petition it either. Should I even have?

Edit: it occurs to me i lost my shit cause of this guy DDoSing. damn, thats lame.

unfortunately all of you are wrong. the server dropped as i was transacting to my bank.
i lost everything on my main (which was level capped and fully twinked).
i made support tickets and emails for 2 months. i was ignored on the situation and they claimed i was just trying to get free items and money.. i went through all the legit proper channels in order to get my account back to normal for a total of 2 freaking months.. but to no avail. then i was kicked for "arguing" when in reality i was justifying my situation. so i guess when your playing a board game with a horrible master you tend to get aggrivated after a while when you finally lose your patience.

when all you had to do was check logs to see i actually did lose everything on my char because of a server drop..

in this post, you say that you were told you were just trying to get free shit....

and yet, in another post, you claim that you received no response, not even a "no, sorry, we can't do that."

so which is it?

regardless, you are the definition of a sociopath. look it up. I'm sorry that you were in an accident, but that doesn't give you the right to be a complete fucktard and lose your shit over a fucking video game.

you are absolutely pathetic. the worst type of shit scum on this planet. I'm not even mad, because i wasn't affected by this at all, as i don't play during the times when this was occurring - its just a fact. You are a drain on society and all those around you.

It's very clear to anyone reading your posts that you need psychiatric help. I'm saying this from personal experience. Get a fucking counselor, go see them three times a week, or I promise the least of your problems are going to be losing pixels in an online game.

god forbid someone performs a perceived slight towards you in real life. I hope you are able to control yourself in the future. Good luck, and please, surround yourself with people who love and care about you in real life. if you don't find this to be possible, make changes to who you are so that it is.
