DDoS Updates

[Kestrel]

Unfortunately many of our more recent developments in the DDoS situation are things that we cannot share with the community for security reasons. We are still working daily finding new ways to improve things in the short term while we wait for the permanent DDoS filtering is being set up. Please do keep in mind there may be a "fine tuning period" once this new filtering is in place.

We are aware that some of our temporary protections have been blocking some community members from accessing the game. We built a temporary white list feature to work around this but are running into issues with the service provider's API this feature needs to hook into (them blocking our prod box's IP automatically). If this is resolved before we get our full DDoS protection we will make an announcement with instructions on how to white list IPs for those struggling to connect.

Good evening--
It is the case for me, I even tried sending an email, did everything I could from VPNs to uninstalling the launcher and installing the zip file so I could run the game straight from the folder, and yet nothing works.

Is there anywhere we could potentially reach out to be whitelisted?

I managed to create a character on N'Zoth on my first attempt, the first day, but haven't been able to log on since.

Cheers,
Turbo

Well, please white list me I'd really like to be able to level my lock, first Slow and steady character I've ever gotten this far! I just hit level 40 today in the brief period I could log on

[Oldchill]

I would like to get in contact and get whitelisted also. I am not able to log in since the most recent updates

[Kozzy]

Same. I logged in earlier this morning but since then nothing works.

[Vagmas]

i was having issues loggin into N'zoth aswell. asked google how to fix it.
long story short it told me to manually delete the WDB folder (auto-setting in the launcher is not sufficient i guess?) ,add the host IP to the config file, and also flush DNS. i am not computer savy but looking upo step by step instructions for this were simple enough to follow.

it still gets slightly hung up on the last handshake, more so than the other realms, but wait the hiccup out and pray. hope this helps

OCTOWOW forever
