Last week didn't happen

[Cannon]

As most people know, we've had trouble with denial-of-service attacks over the last week. They actually started some time ago and have been a bit of a pain.

Freelancer Discovery 4.81

We have restructured parts of the server infrastructure to provide better resilience when we are attacked. Although we can't guarantee uninterrupted server operation, we are a little more robust. This improved resilience software is somewhat experimental and so please be patient while we work on this. We have further improvements to make, in particularly reducing lag for all players.

Finally, as people were unable to supply their bases while the server was offline, we've decided to roll back the entire player database, ships and bases, to a few minutes before the biggest attack. Our apologies for any time and effort you may have spent after this but the last week didn't happen.

Have fun.

Inb4 RAGE.

But yeah, I'm seeing a big improvement in server stability already.

I'll have to remake around 5 ships, one being guard repped.

But in the name of stability, sure, why not

Why the v4.81 pic?

Because the rollback accidentally was 5 years, instead of 5 days.

This works for me, it just means I didn't make a donation to a player for [x amount of credits], so it's all good.

Was nice to know you, Jack. I am sure you can find another server.

You will not be the only person to lose credits.

I lost credits myself, some people have lost SHIPS, other no doubt were in the middle of building stations, so they lost that work.

Then we have the person that is DDOSing the server to add to the problem and they, ultimately are the cause of the 5 day 'rollback' that has happened.

If you want to rage, go rage at them.
