Arbrek the Ancient 140 Share Posted September 18, 2012 How about you guys simply do a little something that doesnt involve giving things to the donators? Why dont you simply have a news letter, every month written by VAQ himself or Native which lists every person who had donated that month that shows how much the team is appreciative? Surely this is more of an incentive than simply donating and thats that? Just my personal idea but it may help to boost the incentive without adding more material perks. It's truley adorable that you think enough people would donate to buy/rent the equipment needed for their names on a list. We're humans, we like stuff, it's the way of things.

arabidopsis 1 Share Posted September 18, 2012 My personal suggestions to mitigate this: Get the TCP Dump, and constantly ring up your server providers and ask them what they are doingRing up your server provider and get them to record itTake the server down from Minecraft lists. Why? Because I bet you right now, that the top 15 minecraft servers get ddos'd by jealous fan boys and such... it occured in Ultima Online freeshards, and the best way was to take your listing off a top 100 servers site Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we would take a huge blow to the influx of new players. As for this stoping the DDOSers, it might stop some new DDOSers finding us, but it won't stop the current ones.

arabidopsis 1 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Well if he hosts it himself, get a switch put in with adequate firewalls, and anti-ddos scripts (I doubt this is a good hacker, but more of a kiddy-scripter).. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndikate 2303 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Well Availer just got back from his one year hiatus, and now the server has been almost constantly down. Do we have any suspicions that it may be an old player who disliked Availer, and want to discourage his return? I do remember something about HappyShackles threatening a DDoS awhile back. You realize HappyShackles was joking right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx_FUSI0N_xX 0 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Uhhh. The last thing we need is a 12 year old script kiddie who got his 6 word application denied Ddosing us. Can't you just block the ips from countries where Ddosing is legal and wait for the kid to blow his money away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaq doesn't host it himself. The server is hosted with Legendary servers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samoblivion 532 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Whatever DDoS protection system we go for, DO NOT use Black Lotus. I've read at least 15 reviews that name them as scammers who breach the private data of their clients. Worse still, they're known for hosting the servers for several infamous paedophile websites.
