Oh and if you want to bypass this clowns ddos attempts when it says disconnected after booting up ro just wait for the dialog to time out then click ok and it will leave the client open allowing you to login. He's targeting the login portal,not even the login server.

You'll never affect something big. When you think of a small, understaffed game, what's the first one that comes to mind?
It's an easy target. And the fact that mitigation isn't gonna happen... idk why you'd ever stop the attack. With how it's getting handled, that botnet could literally end this game.
Pretty funny. The servers are probably rack mounted in a closet in some office building. And wp staff is responsible for mitigation.
Poor design got us here. And it'll keep us here.
AWS ftw. So many tools to mitigate things like this quickly, and if you pay for their support, they'd have it ran to ground immediately.

Or it's just somebody that has a small gigabit botnet and they wanna feel good about it. So they target something that's unable to handle it.

The problem is that MMOs don't really work to well with cloud services like that. If you could have game data cloned around many servers in many locations and seemlessly move people around them as needed, then sure, it could work. But the amout of data that would need to be kept and cloned simply doesn't work for a game like this. Not to mention the extra latency it would add.

You know you are probably right. I just have trouble understanding peoples logic when it comes to something like that. If I were going to commit multiple felonies there'd have to be higher stakes than the salt of a few gamers. It's kind of depressing to me to think someone has that much time and resources and would blow their load on a tiny community like this one. But I suppose it does happen.

On a game with as limited traffic as ro they wouldn't benefit at all. So you do manage to affect 5-10k people, what of it? Not to mention the iro player base is spread across multiple contenents meaning it wouldn't even be a centralized attack. Who would bother? The security for WP is vastly inferior to pretty much every other mmo publisher in existence so it teaches nothing worthwhile. It's either a disgruntled former employee or sweaty man child with too much free time and misdirected angst.
Explain then why the fresh new circuits were targeted in my post? We are trying to humanize it because we are frustrated at the outcome. The truth of it, is there doesn't need to be a vindictive reason, but having one makes us feel better. Also you are forgetting this DDoS is against WarpPortal as a whole not just RO. All of their games are affected.

If they could pay. Have to admit Amazon is actually really good at this kind of thing. I would personally prefer an open source traffic shaping firewall but that's my gig.

It's true. I'm not overly frustrated but like I said above I just can't comprehend the lack of logic behind an attack on a small scale like this when they could put the same knowledge and resources into making tons of money or any number of less benign objectives. I'm not particularly intelligent but even to me this seems like wasted talent on the attackers end.

Depends on your goals. Some people just want to feel like they control something. It's a power trip.

It's still a waste if you ask me. If they are getting off on this, well it's still a small event. They managed to breach the weakest security on the west coast, is that anything to celebrate? Botters have been able to literally unban their own accounts under the noses of wp in the past. Just a mild suspicion but nonetheless I don't think they are really on the ball when it comes to this. I can't blame them honestly. I'd have quit dealing with gravities red tape and bs a long time ago, but is this really a feat for this individual?

We hope and pray for the best, Oda and other admin we really appreciate all you are doing to get the servers back online and safe. Please do not get discouraged by the ignorant players who want everything done yesterday and do not understand how much damage has been and can still happen.
God Speed Oda!!

Server on?

Well, I could long in the game, but when I teleport to a town, I dc. Also, I take some time longer than the normal to enter in the game, since it's taking too long to load.

Current server status: A bloody joke.
NDL, auto targeting, packet injecting etc needs to stop. One particular guild has many that abuse these to the 9th end. Many tickets were submitted to no avail.
Everyone should quit and they can farm a dead server like they always do. Only then the GMs may actually do something.
