Meanwhile me playing with all the XP challenges and gladly accepting each and every death, loosing 5% of XP every time I die, haha

hmm I'm wondering why the address used to authenticate by WOW is being reported as abused 100% https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/185.165.170.59?page=1

The oldest report is from yesterday. Is it possible that some trash is on the server?

you are right i am thinkg about making acc there just made 1 for warmane but problably will play in blizz god damn why ascencion released coa got hooked again after 8 years break

community is the steak, server is the plate, im walking into a restuarant to have steaks not plates. dont be so naive, its not free, google ads isnt free. yes u dont have to pay to play here and u r welcome, but its the ones who's paying the donations making this happening, and those have donated can get more upset more than 'endure...'

i havent donate anything yet, nor i have a chance now. who knows whether the 'endures...' are fake or real, dont even matter, my last post here. this is becoming silly to myself.

Same. DC's have probably cost me 3+ hours of grinding so far.

Meh...

I migrated here from Capy because I was tired of dealing with translators and all the other Chinese weirdness.
Some of the officers in my guild were complaining about Octo (losing players?) or I probably wouldn't have known about it. I wasn't really happy playing there, too hard to play HC within that community so my HC shammy sat in his 20's untouched. I leveled non-HC characters till moving here, I'm not really that invested in Capy or Octo but it sucks moving again and possibly again? I don't want to play on a Chinese server but if Ravenloft is Capy at least it doesn't require running a translator in tandem. I feel better playing HC here the last week or so for sure with the exception of the recent DDOS crap. Now that I've got a bit of time played I'm going to sit tight to see what happens. I'm only level 20 on my HC rogue so I don't feel obligated to stay, I walked away from my 54 HC rogue on retail for Turtle when I found it. Do the same here if stuff doesn't improve soon, I'd rather not but I did roll a HC character on Ravenloft just to see how it plays (about the same as Capy with less ping for me). I will say there's been grumbling on their chat about DDOS problems there too so it might not just be on Octo.

One last attempt to log in and play my non-HC Octo characters before setting up my addons on Ravenloft. I'll give it another week or so with the new servers but whichever servers play smoothest wins. I like it better here so fingers crossed. I think that's pretty fair. Whichever is more playable is more playable. One thing for sure I don't think I'm going to go back to Capy.

well we had our fun for 30 min why did i join bg

yeah, what can be better than a good old d&d session with friends in the meantime

Greetings, can i ask which type of OS you are using on your server and can you send a dump of traffic of flooding attack ? I know a network engineer, who can try to help, but he needs to analyze attack specifics
