Kestrel,

This has never been about the DDoS. This has been about how the OctoWoW team has been handling it.

Daily updates, never left in the dark like the Ascension team had done with the Epoch road map as a malicious means to funnel players onto their P2W servers.

With the average classic WoW player being over 30, we will always come and go. The population will always fluctuate. With this, comes the reassurance that when times get difficult, or when players get frustrated with what is happening now or in the future - we may leave until the issue is resolved. but we will always be back. Some of us choose to reduce our playing hours around the DDoS and continue logging in daily.

Thank you for your teams' continued efforts.

go to Moonwhisper games discord, write or mention Octo and do tell me what happens
Well, stop playing these games. Have you tried? And what happens when you mention Ravencraft there?

I hope you can find out who's the bastard behind those attacks, It's unbelievable that those fucking gooners keep trying to ruin Octo.

I hope you can resist it, they're clearly trying to close the server.

Something I've noticed lately: every time I try to form a group, the game kicks me out, and I have to restart the game several times or try to log in multiple times. Maybe this will help you guys. It's definitely the 10th time today. It always happens when I try to form a group.

They were being sardonic.

Just be patient folks. It's all we can really do on our end. Thanks for keeping us up to date.
