TW is down for me right now All I see is 7 people in EG. I tried redownloading the zones and that didn't work. I'm going to try to reinstall the game?

Confirmed to be DDoS attacks. Generally these are initiated by those who feel they've been somehow wronged.

Though it's uncommon to be caught, making it the craven's keyboard warrior's weapon of choice, I'd like to remind the culprit that they're committing a crime, and that we cooperate with law enforcement. Punishment varies around the world, but if found to be instigating such an attack, you're looking at a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

Damn man. I had no idea we were getting DDoS'd last couple days. Doesn't bode well at all. I am skeptical about how tomorrow plays out now that we know. My only hope is we can catch the petty basement dweller who's doing it and let the guy rot in jail for a bit--enjoying cockmeat sandwhiches.

Honestly, I kind of expected people to do stupid shit this twdt with this much money on the line. Money brings out the worst of people I swear.. I've noticed a HUGE spike in people lagging all over the place in games and the server lately (basically around the time of twdt preseason) has given me this weird input lag too. Anyways, like I said, hope you're able with the help of law enforcement to catch this culprit--would be fucking awesome!

Thanks for taking the time to give us the update qan I know you have your hands full. I think its good to make known publicly what's going so maybe people who know whos DDoS'ing us can maybe fill you in on who it is. Appreciate you letting us know! All in all, hope you're enjoying your weekend--goes for everyone reading this! Cheers.

Edit: Kind of wonder if this has anything to do with the skyforger ban or not? The timing is conspicuous.

[Rab]

It's obviously skyforger as it started when he was banned. You already have his IP.

[Rab]

afaik we pay the hosting company extra for 'ddos protection' so if that doesn't work it's worth a support ticket / refund / stop paying for it.
edit: looks like they include it for free now, so make sure we're not paying for something that should be free.

also make sure skyforger is permanently banned from the game and from the forum.
