That's it! :angry:

I'm creating a batch script to occasionally ping the server to see when it is up again.

Is there any way to apply DDoS protection to the server? This is pretty much unplayable at times. Whoever is doing this is winning this fight so far.

The staff is doing what they can at the moment. I believe Mr O has been in contact with other servers, and is working alongside them in comparing notes to better pinpoint exactly what the cause is and when it is occurring. It's a start. It's my understanding that the best way for players to aid at this point is by logging when the server goes down, and any suspicious activity regarding it.

IPS and DDS are possible prevention methods if it persists, but usually asshats get bored and sod off after they've had their 'fun' anyway.

I just set up a ping command in the console to fire once a minute.

Wouldn't pinging the server exasperate the issue?

This server is a lot more interesting too. The setting, the classes, races, etc.

I can't go back to Baldur's Gate anymore.

Changed to once every 10 minutes. Though it's only a 32 byte packet. 1 player will draw more bandwidth per second.

That's like the double whammy of suck. Can't have fun in PvE, and can't have fun in RP? The only reason to justify restricting power builds is if you actively promote PvP or if you have strong RP to make up for it.

I really do wish we had a simple way to stop the person DDoSing us, and do rest assured that our team is working on the issue with the administration of other servers dealing with the same issues.

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

We believe in you. I'm sure you're as frustrated as the rest of us.
