Another point.  While we are on the test server, it is being tested.  And not only that, but the nothing that you're getting is not costing you anything.  You are playing the game for free, lest you forget.

Excellent, someone's been thinking.  Be careful, that can get you into trouble, thinking like that that.

good night, old friend, rest well.

never tried the bottled coffee, I drink Folgers coffee crystals, it's nasty, but it works for me.

I have been somewhat of a terrible drinker myself these last few days.  But I am going to recover.  I'm stronger than even I think I am.  He taught me that.

one thing I will say, I'm getting a lot of artwork done.  LOL

hello Tsela, are you getting yourself into trouble?
This is Sam, BTW.
 

how does one determine if their PC is being used for A DDOS attack?  It seems like a logical question to ask.

You seem to be living under the delusion that you have some sort of power.  Truth is, you have no more power than anyone else.  You can no more make the servers cum up, than I can. If you think you have power over the people on this forum, you are sorely mistaken.  You are an insensitive  jerk who doesn't seem to care about anything or anybody..All you do is drive people away. I read somewhere that you had cancelled your subscription. I wish you all the best at whatever you plan on doing next, but no one here will miss you here. That will be your legacy in 3dxchat, to be thankfully forgotten.

what kind of justice have you brought to anybody?

the difference, is that everybody else's remarks only annoy you.  Where your remarks, and the things that you do, annoy everybody.

what?  You think someone has fallen by your hand?  Your hand would be more effective masturbating.

I'm not that desperate, and never will be.

Dear 3DXChat Community,
Since May 15, our servers have been suffering from a large DDoS attack. We performed a number of actions and were able to restore the forum and bring it back online and kept it stable, but the game server is still down. We have requested support from the datacenter engineers, but unfortunately it supplies limited support during the weekend.
Our main goal is to launch the game server and return you to the game as soon as possible. The lost game time will be compensated back to you all, as well as all players will receive additional bonuses. Extra game time and XGold will be credited to your account when the game is back online.
I will post updates in this thread when I receive them.
Thank you for your support during this time!
3DXChat team

Everyone here suddenly became an expert on DDoS attacks and how to stop them.
"You should have done this and that" (yeah i'm sure you're friends with Captain Hindsight from south park)

"Everyone knows you can recover from DDoS in 2-5 hours" (your $10 radio station with 20 people listening has nothing in common with this scenario)

"devs are lazy" (show us the way and do what they do but do it better just to show us)

"Cloudflare does not protect against DDoS, they only give you infrastructure" (Cloudflare does exactly that. Protects from DDoS attacks because they have huge amounts of bandwidth. And this is exactly the reason why their main page 3dxchat.com is still partially working. Game protocol however does not necessarily go through Cloudflare to avoid caching which is bad for real-time protocols)

"You can stop DDoS attacks by installing special server software to ban IPs" (your wordpress brute-force password login attacks have nothing to do with real DDoS attacks lol I guarantee you that if you had the specific attack on your server, it would go 100% cpu just from firewall trying to block all this traffic and eventually your server crashes. DDoS attacks are never being stopped at the server side. It is stopped with the help of infrastructure meaning routers and layer3 switches)

"An error 522 is easy to fix" (522 error means that Cloudflare cannot contact the server in order to serve the requested page. It can mean a number of things and depending on what is happening, can be easy to fix or can be super difficult to fix. In the case that some of the game requests are being done directly into the server (and not through Cloudflare) to avoid caching, I'd like to see you try to do an easy fix on this)

You simply can't recover that easily during an active DDoS attack. This is a battle of who has the most bandwidth. You? Or the attacker? There is nothing you can do if the attack is of higher bandwidth than what your provider has. Even ISP grade routers just die when facing let's say a 10 Gbit attack with a million packets /sec. When stuff like this happens, all you do is contact your isp (and then they contact their isp and so on) to start dropping packets and blocking connections and in an extreme scenario they can even disable your server's port on the switch (like unplugging the ethernet) until the attack stops because this actually does harm to the rest of the clients in the same datacenter.
So please don't play the know-it-all card and don't be a jerk. Just let them do their job. I'm sure they're doing the best they can.
