Hacking and useful skills associated with breaking codes and so on is probably a rare occurrence in these forums. There may be a few guys with actual useful skills but the majority of these server owners and their associates are most likely just using booters to shutdown sites/servers that are unprotected sufficiently and brute forcing passwords from a database.

Firstly, an organization that decrypts password is pretty fucking sketchy. I'm surprised people still play on those servers because I'd assume that a lot of the people use the same password/email for their paypal accounts and such.

So breaking the trust barrier is just pretty shallow.

I dunno, it's one thing to DDOS, and another to strip people of their privacy on your server.

Pretty shady practices.

I don't believe it's trying. I think it's actually happening ;)

What makes you think he knows anything about cracking or even DoSing.

They just hand him a db and hes trying passwords till he finds a decent account to scam like a Homo Erectus is mauling anything he sees in his need for food.

If that kind of knowledge is cracking then i'll send a resume to EUROPOL now and hopefully i'll join their ranks.

ROFL, I burst out laughing for some reason. I was picturing some brute smashing his head against the keys. And voila, some cracked accounts.

Well played :D

i think i couldn't care less about that post and that serbrdidor

Most people use that phrase wrong. I couldn't care less is the correct way like how you used it. But most will say I could care less, implying you do care a bit but could care less.

LOL, sorry, it's just nice to see someone using it the right away.

Dont make tell the same that i told about l2injustice when he failed. "Admin tell he dont make server for money" So what? I really like this server cuz i was palyed there before 1 year. But i just need a good server for a couple weeks. I really wait L2Cosmic.

My Winnie the pooh hero. Much love ;)

I have suggestion.

Korean Style even't ^^

 

In Tales it was a most popular event :)

We have this event and a few others we may consider implementing. It's under consideration.

rofl nolife and spamer xD

Rude :(

Updated Opening Post to better reflect our stylistic changes and impression. Should be cleaner now.

TWITCH STREAM LIVE 24/7. Today we're prepping a logo for the All-Stars clan. :)

Really thanks for fast answer. Im join for sure ! :)

Don't forget to tell your friends. We open live JANUARY 10, 2015. Our open beta is going to start on JANUARY 04, 2015.

Glad to hear you'll be joining us.

All the best.

PS> I'm replying so fast because I'm eating dinner on the computer! Reading through posts I haven't had time for while munching on foods ;)

L2Cosmic is the first retail-like EU server outside the influence of the Russians. We are 100% Canadian team with the exception of our head server administrator, Fallen-Angel. He is Ukranian and has extensive experience in the server industry specializing in security and DDOS. Angel is also the primary server operator for L2-Scripts.ru.

The rates are dynamic. They go from 20x to 4x, specific algorithms can be found on our website. But the feeling of progression is nice, not too fast, not too slow.

No NPC buffer, No AIO buffer, no GM shop.

Mostly retail with a few changes to keep things fresh. That's the power of L2J :)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Granny

This should have been enough to handle 80-100 gbps. I'd be surprised if the attacks were any higher than this. But you never know.

Cheers,

Granny

sadly i have to do other stuff also i removed a lot of l2 players from contacts since 2009 or so. although i likely won't be playing let's just hope your server is as good as your presentation.

 

I suggest you get prepared for 'cultural enrichment' by the greek community because if you are actually a threat to their income and players your server isnt going to last very long as long as the 'top' servers are still up there somehow

it's very rare i post a good comment on a private server thread so gj

I'm not a threat to anything. Just a friendly fellow in the neighborhood. ;)

Politics are scary, and we try to stay away from them. They will inevitably come knocking on our door, however, causing some trouble. we will not be able to avoid it other than preparing for the worst, ensuring that you have a trustworthy team is the first step, so they don't get bought off, and investing in proxy shields to prevent downtime is the second, to spread the load of DDOS on different frameworks. People will always surprise you with how steep they'll go for a few bucks nowadays, even within your own team. My team is family, blood. No buy outs here ;)

That being said, please don't confuse us with most projects. We're all engineers by trade with specialties in varying fields. So, our infrastructure is not like L2Injustice or L2Random. We're not some kiddies playing at scripting, as I think most of you are well aware by now. We're also knowledgeable on most tactics used to bring down servers, including brute forcing a list of passwords you've acquired through account signups (big server tactics), among other techniques. L2-Scripts keeps us informed of any new tactics being used on the market, in addition. But it is impossible to be 100% protected against anything. If someone invests enough, he can bring anything down. Question is, how far will someone be willing to go?

Who knows...

Cheers,

Granny

Joe(the other guy):

Indeed. But we exepect and we bought one of the best Protection that is on market, but in this world is better tbe prepared for worst and not to put your hopes too high.

I am sorry if that after posted you understood we do not owe any DDoS protection

The best protection on the market cost roughly 12,000 USD / month, I've seen some for more. I've looked into it and received a quote. So you obviously didn't purchase the best on the market.

If I were a gambling man, I'd assume you dished out 50-120 USD for a basic protection. When in reality you need 400-500 range to really deflect the more common ddos from these half-assed projects lurking around.

Because DDOSing is cheaper than protection, you're on the losing side.

Just my 2 cents.

Edit, this comes off as a bit hostile. No offense intended. Good luck with the project :)

Cheers,

Granny

Sorry was a bit stressed while working on something. Hope I didn't come off as a jerk.

Good luck with the project brother!

Cheers,

Granny

TESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSA my hero.

1500 online

That's quite high. But judging from the general reactions I'm assuming it's 3x fake online? 200%

Was just curious anyway. More than I expected. Gratz on the recovery. Didn't think it was possible.

Cheers,

Granny

That wall of text is intense. I couldn't get through it. Add some color next time or something I was losing my spot so many times, lol.

Good luck though. Seems like you're quite passionate. I did catch a few things though. Mainly, you stated that you expect to get DDOS'd again but hope you don't otherwise you'll get shut down again.

This seems like a pretty foolish policy. I mean, if you expect people to play, in all seriousness, then you would need to invest in a good proxy shield.

A world without DDOS would be nice, yes. But not everyone is a good person in these forums. ;)

Cheers,

Granny

he server is based on fandc, that you have bakcdoors a lie can try :)

 

And it's not what you say what may be true that some things were taken from reference l2 arion

 

 

You know the difference between these servers and this that others are full of corrupt staff

I didn't say you had back doors. It was more of a general statement. How do you guys manage servers with broken English? At least invest in some GM or Mod that can communicate fluently. The degree of frustration experienced with a communication barrier is just too much.

Cheers,

Granny

Is this server up and thriving? I was curious to know its outcome.

Cheers,

Granny

the new Stalonka server with this same files etc.?? :)

Community board is not an indication of files. You can have shitty files and access to some good scripts taken from actual good packs. These scripts are floating around everywhere. The problem with using them from any source other than the core distributor is they can have back doors. So essentially, you pay a high price from organizations like L2-Scripts and FANDC (mostly a dead pack) for security and stability. Our CB is taken from FANDC but our core files are from L2-Scripts.

So I dunno how you can tell anything about the files from L2Heal. It doesn't say anywhere, does it? All you see is the community board.

Cheers,

Granny

What about me? ^^

I'm trying to get back my Java skills by helping around, hehe..  :lol:

 

Just not to be completely off topic: How goes with the advertisement?

Dear Lover,

Shit, you posted right before I hit post. I'll address you personally because of your private special edition banner.

Our Advertisements are going very well. This week alone, we've had 1000 unique visits to site as we grow closer to launch, just a heads up for what's to come. ;) We're about 30 days from launch. We've done some estimating and our launch will likely be quite large. We've done very well on the public relations aspect.

It's because of the support and love from you guys that allows us to grow like this, so fast, as a new server. But let's face it. Is there really anyone that can contend with our amazing community? I value all my players.

You're what gives me the drive every morning. So give us some love and spread the word.

Play the best, forget the rest :D

Cheers,

Granny

Know the feeling. ;) It keeps you going!

It feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels good. Such a good morning to wake up and find such great comments. Time to start the work day. Watch my work live, currently doing design. Come share some tunes!

Twitch DEC 13: Join us, good beats. I finish off the design work today. Then I need to tweak the beta server.

a well executed presentation that a greek couldnt even dream of doing. well done on that part and i hope this stands out to all the other kids out there that effort and having a brain and good attitude actually pays off and is reflected in your product

This guy I want to hug and squeeze. Love the comment. Thank you brother. :-*

Go tell your friends about us guys.

Give us some love.

Hey, what's with class quest?

I think that should be npc with classes in server, cause u know... it's still x20 ;P

I believe this was answered already. We follow a retail-like philosophy. So we offer 1st and 2nd class for donation, and the rest are up to the players. This omits your 3rd transfer, subclass, and noble quests for donation.

Offering the end-game content for donation was, in our opinion, unfair to those that cannot donate. The early class changes have no impact on the end-game fantasy.

I think I covered everyone's posts.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

Cheers,

Granny

[4:15:54 PM] L2Cosmic - BETA JAN 04: greetings my friend

[4:15:57 PM] L2Cosmic - BETA JAN 04: how may I help?

[5:37:57 PM] random add: hmm

[5:38:06 PM] random add: actually you can't help me :D

[5:39:18 PM] random add: i just wanted to say good job with your server, i really like gm teams like cosmic (i am an interlude player playing this game almost 10 years ) and just wanted to say continue the good work because we do need more teams like yours!

And this is why I do my job folks. Thought I'd share a message that was quite out of the blue but very kind.

Gimme some love. Feeling sensual. Where's Tessa when I need her, him? :D

Cheers,

Granny

Good luck brother. Seems refreshing to bring in a project that cares about the community.

Cheers,

Granny

hello cosminc i dont really know u but the way you talk looks so mature and respectfull to your followers and enemies too i will try u ;)

Mature eh. Are you calling me old? :D

Haha, I guess I'm probably older than most of the admins around here. I'm married and an engineer by trade. So I should probably sound a bit informed/mature I suppose.

I've been studying my whole life. You pick up a few tricks here and there in regards to teamwork and PR.

in these times java servers w/o npc buffer and w/o 5k online die instantly but w/e  :dat:

Wrong way to think brother. You sound helpless as if there's no options. But as a community, we always have options. A server's life span is a factor of its population. So go out an recruit your friends / players.

I'm about action, not speculation. That's likely the difference between us and why we sometimes fail to see eye to eye ;)

There are no private server with 5k online at this time.

I'd tend to agree. But I have no proof. Nor am I interested enough to go dig for evidence. :/

Think I covered all new posts. If not, let me know.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

EDIT: TWITCH LIVE ALL DAY AS I PREP THE TOPZONE AD BANNER AND MAYBE IF I HAVE TIME DESIGN A NEW WEBSITE BACKGROUND.

Cheers,

Granny
