DDoS

Post#1 » Mon Aug 24, 2026 12:20 am

Starting 2026-08-23 at 16:04 UTC, a series of DDoS attacks have been sent at our server.

So far there have been 24 waves of these attacks, each approximately 4-5 minutes in duration. The time between attacks varies from 6-57 minutes.

The most dense IP block hitting us during this DDoS is 27.125.240.0/20, but the attackers are well distributed. 24% of the malicious connection attempts are coming from Indonesian IP blocks. All signals point to this being a botnet attack using real IPs making it difficult to mitigate through regular means.

We are in contact with our service provider and an anti DDoS tunnel is beings stood up. Another post will be made when this is complete.

A list of each attack window can be found below.

Hardcore realm is now up. It was brought down for a few hours during the tail end of the attack to prevent more revivals being needed. All those affected should be revived. If you find you are not revived please post a new appeal in the death appeal.

I was active in that timeframe yesterday, and I was really sad that it was the case. Seeing as I only have a couple hours each day after my family goes to bed to game. Though I am glad you are doing everything you can when these things happen.

Stay vigilant!
Love this community.
