Blaming pservers is still delusional. For all you know, hammering th/ph could cause the same login exploit we have here, that would be a very big incentive.

 

I suggest you google the name "GM Cookie"

 

Crookie is just a bad troll, just like his buttbuddies Injustice and whoever those other scumbags were.

 

I guess trolling is also incentive, those sweet sweet tears!

DDoSing RO servers is like swinging a sledgehammer at a bowl of pudding! Or even taking candy from a lot of big babies...

Sounds like pserver admins are the likely conductors behind the DDOS if all the Revo-Classic servers are getting hit. Strike the Revo-Classic servers with DDOS and send agents to official forums to goad people into going to pservers. Very calculated plan.

If that's the case, it's only the really impatient people who will fall for their tricks, so not too bad if the truly patient people stick around. RO isn't an impatient-friendly game anyhow.

If the pserver admins were conducting something like that, would increase the chance of getting the server closed, alongside increasing jail time,

also, didn't saw anybody advertising servers here yet.

 

In my opnion, It's the juice mafia's doing, they are doing this as vengeance for releasing the juice maker.

Ps:. Yes, It was a joke.

 

Edit:. Just checked out bRO out of curiosity, and It's fine, beside It doesn't have Revo-classic server yet.

Obviously, there's no MMO that's threatened by RO, so that removes competitor games.

If it was a banned player, why bother hitting all the Revo-Classic servers if you were only banned from one? Unless you're that ambitious to get banned from all of them.

If it was botters, why hit iRO when thRO and pRO are the only ones with anti-bot measures?

Only logical culprit would be pservers because they can't mimick Revo-Classic builds as there's there's barely any information about them other than they're a mix of pre-Renewal and Renewal stuff. They can compete with official pre-Renewal and Renewal servers because they have the information they need to mimick them, but they don't have the information to mimick Revo-Classic.

 

It's probably the chinese zeny/duped item sellers.

Yea, all of this would happen if they discovered who's attacking which is pretty impossible considering most of those ddos attacks are done by a 3rd party company.

Is bRO getting DDOS'd?

[Myzery]

People are probably doing it for fun because the servers are already causing players to be demoralized.

[ReMont]

I wonder, is it possible for WP to block DDoS-ers?

[manoelsilva6666]

It's probably the chinese zeny/duped item sellers. 

 

what would they get with that?

Not bRO, but phRO and tRO are. Basically all Revo-Classic servers except the indonesian one.

I'd argue it's likely one of 4 answers:

 

1. It could be a banned botter trying to cause as much financial damage as possible, and because of this, he's not restricting his attack to just iRO.

 

2. The PServer theory is possible - they're afraid of lost business, as some of them actually rake in some serious cash. At that point, I think they've upgraded from leeches to lampreys, as they aren't just feeding off their host, they're killing it... but I wouldn't put it past some of them.

 

3. Some bored script kiddie with a botnet wanted to point it at something that would be noticed, and decided a larger game has too powerful and hardened of a network to hit, but this one would be large enough to still be noticed.

 

4. A disgruntled, fired employee (could be at any RO company) wants revenge. While not a common occurrence, they would most certainly not be the first company this has happened to.

 

Possibilities I don't think are likely are:

 

-DDoSing to cause account access would be pretty stupid, given that with that many accounts compromised, they're obviously going to have to do a roll back, and anyone who got anything in the brief time before everything blew up isn't going to be keeping it. It doesn't mean someone isn't dumb enough to try it anyway, but... yeah.

 

-Doing it to attack iRO specifically is obviously not happening, as all revo-classics are being hit.

 

-I doubt it's a competing game of any kind, as that goes into corporate sabotage territory, and they'd end up getting sued for a multiplier of the damage they cause.

 

 

 

 

 

There's a good chance we'll never know for certain. Even if they manage to catch the guy, it's probably not the sort of thing that's going to land in the news.

[tranceowner]

Why would people even do such thing omg

[ladyblue777]

It's getting REAL annoying...I just want to be able to play the game, but these petty DDOSing kidlets are making it near impossible.

 

I think you will find this is a one of those gold farmers attacks. A lot more reassures to work with. They tend to do this so it seems. I have noticed in the past when I bot clean out happens there is some DDOS afterwoods.

Gold Farmers huh? What do they need actually? money! Shut down the server means they are losing revenue. You make no sense.

If they recently got banned, that means they just lost revenues lol

 

As being a normal human as it gets, they just wanted WP to lose some revenues too, maybe lmfao

How many accounts lol? a thousand? That's impossible. A couple accounts mean nothing to them. Have you bought zeny before? Because I did on Chaos. They came up so many accounts with few mils each. You don't understand how they work.

Well you're right I dont understand how they work and no I've never bought from bots ie "Insert the bot website" lol

There is no argument here. We don't guess to blame one or the other. We simply want the problem be solved and enjoy.

pretty much every single thing about the revo servers is known other than drop rates

[ladyblue777]

The persons doing this DDOS I am sure there ISP will be giving reports to the appropriate people so they might find themselves in hot water at some point.

[MasterGin]

Hoping this weekend will be good to us.

[FaylinnLilyRose]

It could be a bunch of people with hurt bottoms due to being unable to access the game from their region, with the thought process of 'Well if we can't play it, then let's make it so no-one can, let them know our pain!'  It...actually makes a surprising amount of sense I think o.o
