Any Feedback from staff ?

[Yaliskah]

A feedback then.

Well for those who don't see exactly what a DDOS attack is or like me haven't any tech knowledge, i'll try to explain it as clearly as possible.


DDOS for Dummies.

1- Watch this ( it is in french, but images are enough to understand):

Click here to watch on YouTube

2-Seen it? Now consider:

3 locusts = The ROR servers

1 seed = the usual and normal activity (server communication amount between servers and community, including RoR staff).

The seed torrent = What happens since a week.


Good feedback?

We need better ddos protection.

[Yaliskah]

Totally agree machopi1 . I need a time machine too . And a cancer remedy.

Obviously it doesn't exist ( at least with our financial capacity).

if they can send 1gbit of bandwith to the server, there is not much any protection can do, the line is just done then...

Thank you Yaliskah and Tiggo for giving us some insight on situation, it's really appreciated. I would like the people involed with RoR project to also be understandable for community frustration with current situation - we just want to play the game we all love and enjoy and we don't know when it's the next time it happens - perhaphs never.

Having said that I really do hope so that the GM's will be a bit less strict with banning people, from what it seems it's probably 1-2 guys that got banned for minor infractions retaliating against all of us :/ I know how it sounds but trust me if from web masters are saying is true that we are defenceless against these kinds of actions sometimes it's better swallow pride for the greater good and choose the lesser evil

Best Regards

FFS...the strict policy to keep exploiters and cheaters out is what keep this game so interesting! If they back down from that, we will loose alot of players I say!

We all want to play . And we will as soon as possible. Consider this huge storm for what it is : an inconvenience. Nothing else.

We don't negotiate with terrorists, we don't surrender. In this case, these ppls are less than terrorists. At least terrorists claims their ugly acts.
