I would love it if my main toon could get a revive. hes level 15 and it took me forever to get him there as i am careful and i work a lot... to die to some kind of outside attack is crazy. Also, only reviving level 20s? why? Not sure i can continue leveling comfortably if this persists with no help against it. Dying to a mob is one thing... but to a disconnect ... Im not sure where else to ask, but can i get a revive on my main toon please?

I wonder how many players will NOT read this or either lack proficiency to open realmlist.wtf in a text editor?

When I use the play.octowow.st realmlist, the ping is 4000+, when I use the old realmlist, the ping is about 100.
If you are using a "ping <host>" command you will be getting incorrect results especially during the attacks as our proxy deprioritizes ICMP while we have filtering on.

We are reviving all players who die to DDoSes automatically with no appeal required of any level.

well, they might not know its actually called config.wtf in a lot of cases, and thats what they need to open to change the realmlist.
so if you open your wtf fold4er, and don't see realmlist.wtf just open config.wtf and change the realmlist there. or you might notice that your realmlist is already updated. who knows.

Don't know if this is actually helping or it's just coincidence but anytime I alt f4 during a big spike I've been fine getting back in. Maybe a second or two to get into the character page.
Just adding anything to possibly help anyone.
Seems to be when I chat too, but maybe another coincidence. Area maybe?
Also if you get stuck in for longer than a few seconds. Canceling and not signing back in has been fine. The odd time I need to resign in.
Ehh some actual disconnects instantly when logging in like yesterday. Then we back.

I changed my realmlist and I struggle with staying on the server. Always getting DC'd. And when I try to log back in, I cannot log in at all for like 30 minutes.

Updated my realmlist, seems to have broken the launcher. Also, launcher resets it back to "octowow.st"
Seems to work after updating, but then after launcher resets it to "octowow.st" it causes the issue:
Unable to parse "
https://octowow.st/launcher-updates/lat ... =1k17cbbav"
Replace the launcher from the download site. it gonna go to be 1.3.8 and don't have any problem compared to try to download it directly from the Launcher.
For me doing this fix the launcher loop and weird various bug.
