And with a ghostly priestess chasing me....the suspense of lag-death....

probably got banned from one of them and got fanny flustered.
Well, a while ago I curiously read some of the discussion chat reflecting on the history of the implosion of TOA, and it wasn't a banned player, but an active one causing grief DDOS to the other servers in one case...so who knows.


Edit: Phew, I live. Server is accessible.

Either way, it's an immature assclown with nothing better to do than make other people miserable.

Oh.. and was it THIS ghostly priestess?

We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,

Fortunately DDoSs cost money, and the attacker usually eventually grows bored and stops. Doesn't stop it from being annoying as *** when it interrupts roleplay though.

DDoS'ing something small like my router is quite possible for someone to do themselves with a decent internet connection, it's something script-kiddies could do. And it would be small enough that my ISP would unlikely take much notice to it either.

Cryptc's right. In theory, it is simply an overload of information sent to flood a particular channel.

In response to Mr O's Regarding The "Router Issues" post, logging this here for anyone who is keeping track of dates and times.

We're down again. Massive lag spike (possibly from increased traffic) then crash.

We're down. Again. *nodnod* The lag spike happened once more.
Feel free to prod me with questions and other things!

to me, DDOS is a form of cyberterrorism- particularly when used against civilians and non-military organizations.

Downtime this time was DDoS unrelated, I just blew a fuse.

Is the server down again? I'm trying to get on but it says unknown connection error in the error message.

Well, server is down. And I just leveled up my assassin.

Most people I've seen on the server too, just before it went down. 40+ people.

Edit:
The server is rebooting, right? Why does it reboot in the middle of the day, at peak players?

Unless.. The server is located somewhere not America, lol.

The server is in Europe, but it also set to reboot after 24 hours of successive operation. Thus, if it crashes, the reboot timer starts over, thus there is no "designated" reboot time.

However, currently the spate of attacks on popular servers seems to be the reason we (and other servers) go down more than any other.
