Situation Update (from Pandora)

[GM-Ayu]

Another update from GM-Pandora:


We did everything we could to stop him on the inside but it's just not enough we will need the external ddos protection.

What happens is he sends a LOT of packet to the server, our firewall drops the packet immediately because of the rules we set (equivalent to banning his ip if you want), but just the fact that the packet has to be analysed, detected to be from him and then it is dropped. He sends so much that just this clogs up the network entirely, that's why its called a brute force attack.

For now there is not much we can do other than wait until he gets tired of it, if he does the server will still be up since we did not close it. Otherwise we're looking at monday during the day for stability to be back.

The WoE on Sunday will unfortunately have to be canceled. Chests might be lost for guilds but they get a few extra days of their castle until the next woe so it makes up for it.

Again, Fairy Auction is already delayed to Saturday Feb 28th 7 PM. For now, Trials of Heroes remain to be on Friday.
