Admin Notice: Server instability

[ProwlerPC]

As many have noticed by now, Discovery server is experiencing server stability issues. This is due to once again the server being under a DDOS attack that follows the same patterns we've experienced earlier this year. Predictably enough we are expecting the pattern to continue to target prime time and are already discussing measures to remedy this issue up to and including the potential move of the server to a host with higher security measures. Please be patient and we will keep you updated.

Sigh ... well, here we go again I guess.
Seriously, do these people have nothing better to do?

I wonder who the *bleep*head is,

That keeps DDoSing the server.

Edit: Ash, it wouldnt surprise me if it is someone whos been banned from the server, and is doing this just to be a QQing douchebag

Can the webhosts not enable the CSF Firewall to prevent DDOS attacks?

[AeternusDoleo]

That's effective against a DOS attack, but not a DDOS one. There are some means of protection but they all cost a bit, and since this is a free game for all ran mostly on donations and the generosity of a select few folk...
