Server Down

[Zhao]

if someone knows who did this, lets work together to find them. I will do the murderin, just PM me the home address.

We don't know who the attacker is. Thats the point of a distributed denial of service. The attack comes from hundreds of different IP addresses.

I know the individualS responsible have been gaming together for 10ish years and are just laughing in vent together... thanks guys... appreciate it.

Forgive my ignorance but couldn't you simply put a cap on the number of allowed connections to say 300 and deny any further connections to prevent flooding? Once again forgive my ignorance but could someone explain why that wouldn't work?

It has nothing to do with EQ.

Wasn't IB doing a fear raid at just that moment? Nice coincidence.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I love this server and everything it stood for, I was having so much fun reliving the adventures of a time gone by. Thank you so much for allowing me to enjoy what I had when i was 17!

Whoever is reading this thread and masturbating...

Karma. Always.

Well it looks like we will have to wait for the next eq classic server release. Thanks to all the guys of project 1999- all my buddies switched to your server from other much more lame games. R.I.P. Project 1999 ( 2009-2009 )

I would be willing to donate some more money to move the server to a different hosting provider with added security (if at all possible).
