10/11/2012+ Downtime

[shiftnative 3103]

Hey there LoTC,

As you might of noticed, the mainserver is down - it looks to be a heavy DDOS and we will be forced to ride it out. However, we are on the phone with a new host and will give you guys more details when we've set it up with the hosts we'll be speaking to !

We'll be doing some more 3.0 posts while this the servers down and perhaps some livestreams? :]!

Thank you for reading

In the mean time, here's a render via 3.0 - made by mediocregamer

**11/12/2012 Update**

We've just begun processing the payments of the new server and we will be movin' to our new host as soon as we are able!

Hmm...Those DDOSers surely don't give up. Carry on working then.

Hate these ddosers!!

Thanks for the update. On the bright side, now I have no excuse to not do my homework...

[Lirinya 4021]

I broke it. Sorry =[

If only we could have a way to name and shame these DDoS'ers. I think that would be a step in the right direction.

Hate DDoSers. Also, would it be possible to modify the default port for both I/O to have one that is dedicated to I and one dedicated to O. Then you could have it so that the O port is a "one-way" door, if you see what I am saying. And for the I port, have it so that the bukkit (or whatever you are using) to only interpret commands from the chat... by which I mean lock the port to anything that isn't directly targeted at bukkit. Would that be possible? It could help. You can do some of these things in a windows control panel for networking, under advanced. Hope this is a decent idea, for what it's worth.

Can we invite them to a fight and just settle it on the playground?

[Jibuis Winterborn (Vinnie) 72]

Most excellent.

I have my own server for fun in downtime.

[Goldd 126]

The server better be up I have a three day weekend starting tomorrow -.-

Thanks for the update Shift, hope this DDoS doesn't last long and that we can find a good new home for LoTC! And that render of 3.0 is lookin' mighty fine, nice work Syrio!

[Samoblivion 532]

It's a shame that our DDoS protection didn't work. Still, good to know the problem is being worked on.

Now, in regards to that screenshot. That blue-spired tower... Haelun'or, methinks.

It's a shame that the server is down again, however that 3.0 teaser looks amazing.

[Strawberry114 43]

Aww, I had the whole night free. The 3.0 ss looks amazing though ^^

Conspiracy theories.
