Velious Release Announcement

[Ereni]

If anything, Class C is doing Class R a favor for keeping them from getting pixels so that Class R will have a more classic experience come Velious launch.

You're welcome Class R... where they want to compete but set up a rotation among themselves anyways!

That's the most unamerican shit I've ever heard. Can't they trace the source and arrest them? I don't know interwebs btw.

Sure. Then they show up at your grandma's doorstep and arrest her because her 2003 edition Gateway desktop got zombified by a virus. :P

it can be completely blocked by decent people with decent skills

the only thing they can do is what rogean said, attack UPSTREAM and find an area that isnt protected, but to live in fear of terror or terrorism is to have lost

release velious stop pretending anyone gives a shit about eq emu enough to spend thousands ddosing it so virgin nerds cant kill wyverns and giants

You cannot completely block a DDoS attack. Most methods of "stopping" it involve taking your own shit down anyway. It isn't a hack, it is just a flood of legitimate traffic that overloads the system and/or circuit. The huge sites like Google mitigate attacks by overpowering them with retarded amounts of geographically dispersed bandwidth and even they have been taken down with exceptionally organized efforts.

With P99 you could have some success if you involve upstream providers to essentially cut off the traffic flow when you identify the source of an attack but any sort of reactive approach like this is just gonna make the server laggy as fuck and barely playable instead of hard down anyway.

[Nirgon]

If just the ring war and/or sleeper script is holding this up, give it to red to test

[loramin]

Simple solution to the DDOS: have patience.

In other words, release Velious, let all the neckbeards who just can't wait scream in agony for a week or two while the attack goes on, and then eventually the attacker will get bored/run out of money and those of us with the patience to wait a week or two can enjoy the expansion.
