Veracity Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 Players of ForsakenRO, First off, thank you everyone for your patience and understanding as we've been going through this difficult time with the server. Unfortunately, things are much more complicated than we've let on at first. The lag and disconnects are a result of serious DDoS attacks against our server. We didn't want any of you to panic about this, and we believed we would be able to find a solution quickly. I can tell you personally, Genesis has barely been sleeping since this began and has been working around the clock with our host to do everything in his and our power to stop these attacks. We even purchased very expensive DDoS protection, but unfortunately, it's not enough. To be able to stop these attacks, we're looking at costs that are thousands of dollars a month which we just cannot afford. I want to reassure everyone now, ForsakenRO will not close. Everyone on the staff loves this server. Genesis has spent 5 years of his time here, Justice and Wish have been here for 3 years, and I've been working here for over 2 years now. You should all know, we are 110% dedicated to this server and we're not going anywhere. We're going to keep working around the clock and exhausting every possible resource we can until this issue is resolved. We hope everyone will understand our situation and continue to be patient and supportive like you have been. I really can't say how much it means to us that we have such a wonderful community who is so loyal and dedicated to ForsakenRO as you all are. We're going to come back from this a better server and a stronger community. We'll be in Forsaken City if anyone would like to discuss this. Thank you for you time and understanding, The ForsakenRO Staff 10 Quote

Perseverance Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) It has been unbelievably difficult for the superiors and administrators particularly these few days in trying to solve the network issues, so as part of the Forsaken Staff I'd like to also extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people behind the many sleepless nights, as well as our players who have been really patient and still eager to play. We wouldn't have accomplished anything if it wasn't for the continuous support from you guys, the awesome bunch of players. We really hope that we will get through this string of DDoS attacks as soon as possible and provide a better efficient server for our eager players. Let's do this! (: Edited October 21, 2012 by Perseverance Quote

Decode Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) I would like to thank the whole GM Team for such a great work you have been doing with the server, specially Genesis for the time he dedicates to the server. Good luck solving this DDoS problem, I know how difficult it can get, unfortunately I've never dealt with DDoS so I cannot give any possible solution to this. More power to fRo.

Rayray Posted October 22, 2012 Report Posted October 22, 2012 @vwwhore um weird name. DDoS stands for distributed denial of service. normally what it does is you setup a few computers to send requests to a server all at the same time but whatever reply the server gives those computers, the computers would block it or not receive it, thus overloading the server. technically that is not the exact explanation but that is the best way i can explain it. @topic why would anyone DDoS an RO server? must be jealous dudes that saw how great our server is. and in order to DDoS a server or host, it must've need a buttload of computers to overload us. seeing that our server only has huge lags and we can still log on somehow, you guys are actually doing pretty well defending against it. normally the server would be down. I applaud the GMs efforts and thank you for saying that FRO will not close, i wouldn't know what to do if it does. I don't know much regarding defenses against DDoS, normally the hosts can do that. but ill try my best to find answers that might help. 1 Quote
