Title: Losing Connection
Post by: Kevin on February 16, 2013, 01:37:46 am

Losing connection is not our fault. We have been sending several tickets to our VPS host trying to get them to fix it. We understand the frustration. It is very aggravating to us as-well. Please try to be patient. While playing I recommend not doing anything "high risk".


Side Note: We've been under constant attack by "DDoS" and "BotNet" Since ~24th of January. Our site has been under attack non-stop this whole time. With the Anti-DDoS things we set up it prevents it from being crashed.

With our Worlds, we have been kicked off 2 VPS's. And 1 we got DDoSed and they counted that as bandwidth and we maxed out so they closed the VPS. We've been looking at many options for a stable anti-ddos host. Either they charge way too much, or they have horrible reviews/horrible protection.

Thanks for the time you're dedicated to us. Much appreciated. With the protection you guys currently have, its nice that it doesn't crash fully. At least we can still play. :P

Our VPS was knocked offline again, we are not going to bother recovering it. We are in the process of purchasing another VPS with stronger Anti-DDoS protection. We will try to get the game running as fast as possible.
