DDos - update
I recently had a conversation with an admin of another server.
He claimed he knows the person behind this attack, but has not disclosed who it is.
According to him, person attacking us is getting payed to do so by somebody else.
Note: This info is not verified so I cannot claim this to be absolute truth.
If this however may be true, then it is reasonable to say we require substantially better (and more expensive) protection than we currently possess.
I took game-server offline as of few minutes ago as leaving online does nothing but irritate players that manage to log ingame.
We are currently revising our (limited) options regarding prevention (or rather migitation) of this attack.
We will:
a) replace datacenter all together and switch to a new one that offers higher quality protection (such as ciscoguard)
b) Purchase services from companies that specialize in ddos migitation
It is currently sunday evening so we cannot do much.
We will keep you up to date on progress first thing in the morning (after we contact sales in working hours). For now, please be patient.
Please be aware that we wish to resolve this issue as soon as possible and provide you all with a lag-free and enjoyable gameplay.
It was never our intent to be offline.
We know you are upset because you cannot play. So are we.
After all, we as admins invested the most of our time, effort and money into it this.

Server is still curently down, this was a really bad start(and bad luck too:/), just like L2MXC.
