DDoS Round 10

[Rodimus]

I was going to mention something similar: they should set up double or triple XP across the entire server for a few weeks. Honestly, it’s really discouraging to lose time during server outages—especially for those of us who work and don't have much time to level up.

I, for one, am not in favor of this. It's a free game...with people who are doing this for free. Asking or demanding something for ..nothing....just seems like a door that should not be opened. Next thing we know..every little inconvenience someone has "waahhhhh/cry I want something freeee!!" ..Just my perspective. Let's just..take a breath...and let this play out...support the game and devs, if you want, by the contribution store where you can pick the reward you want for supporting this FREE game. Thanks..and keep up the good fight!

Just because it’s "free" doesn’t mean it’s good. Just as the hosts and service providers ask us—the players—for patience, support, loyalty, and for us to stick around, we have the right to ask for something in return, given the game's current state. We aren't asking for money; we are simply calling for a gesture that acknowledges the time we’re losing—time that can't be recovered in the game. Besides, no one forced the people hosting OctoWow to do it; since they chose to run it, providing a quality service is the bare minimum of their responsibility. That’s what would motivate players to contribute money through donations, but you can't donate to something that’s broken. This isn't the first "free" WoW project where this exact scenario has played out: after a few weeks or months, the hosts claim the game or server is under attack, only to turn around and ask for money to "upgrade" the servers. Many users have asked for proof of these attacks, yet the responses are always vague. I have no problem donating; my issue is that I don't like putting money into something that doesn't work.

This is like getting a free pizza and complaining that the crust wasn't Michelin 5 stars quality. Bring the entitlement levels about 12 notches down. If you feel your time is best spent somewhere else, doing something else, then by all means do so. Nobody is holding you hostage here. The dev team is doing what they can to counter this. And if you feel Blizzard did a better job when this happened to them, I got a long story to tell you then. And Blizzard didn't give anyone anything, they took our $15 a month and didn't even say thank you.

Can I have D Dossy for surviving these attacks please? My Mage was there when it first started happening, he got D Dossy then Dossy disappeared and now my Warlock is really taking it every 20 minutes. Id love to have one again plz

You're right.

This must be the kiss-ass. Ignore him, there's no point.

@Kestrel - thanks for all your help and effort in working on the DDoS solution. I just wanted to share a recommendation.

In a prior post you mentioned purchasing a 10 Gb port. My suggestion would be to not advertise what you guys are doing to mitigate and defend yourselves. I assume the attackers are reading the forums. Any information you give them might help them find ways to escalate their attacks and work around the details of the solutions you're planning to implement.
