This is a temporary home and website, I'm in the process of migrating our current site and forums, please be patient.
For those of you that have not found our facebook group, our twitter feed, or any of the other private servers enjoying the same complications, here's the rundown
On thursday afternoon, a large scale DDoS attack started to hit private servers internationally across the internet. So far most of the private servers I'm aware of have been brought down. Feenix and TheRebirth were able to stay up till Saturday afternoon, at which time, the attacks increased significantly.
Our host had no choice but to NULL route the IP address until the attacks ceased, which they did Sunday afternoon about 4:00pm. The forums, and the game servers were up for a short time before the DDoS attack begain again, at which time they were able to bring our host down to a crawl, forcing us to NULL route the IP again.
As I said on the forums, some of what makes great private servers..well...great, are also the same things that cause us serious problems in these scenarios. Having large enterprises hosts, with dedicated static IP addresses, static routes, firewalls, multiple server environments..etc, means we cant just reboot, or refresh or IP address...we have to sit and let a DDoS hammer on us, or attempt to mitigate the attack the best we can.
Our enterprise DDoS protection was able to scrub and provide clean traffic to the server for nearly 2 days, at which time the attacks went from 3 gigabytes / second to nearly 19 gigabytes / second, and nearly 500,000 packets per second, which is well beyond our threshold of mitigation.
At this time, we've received no threats, ransoms, or emails regarding the DDoS attacks, and we have no other information about why, or their origin.
We can say, that this will not break us, we will NOT be closing our doors, nor will the rebirth suffer any long term affects of this. As with all things of this nature, it shall pass, and we will come back as strong as ever.
