Yeah, people are addict and impatient

At least the forums are up and running keeping me entertained!

Every company who provides internet based services can be DDoS'ed. There was a MAJOR one in October last year over Cloudfare, Amazon and Google, they handled it like champs and it was barely noticeable by the common user. This kind of attack is very common...

Most of the time, SE handles it like a champ and we barely notice it (this has been happening for years to this game and we don't normally notice). The attackers just found a way to make it noticed this time.

I'm sure about that. As I said before, this kind of attacks are very common, there must be something different this time that wasn't detected by the IPS/firewall and jumped through the ruleset. I really don't want to be on that SOC today xD

Have you ever read the jp forums?

Server is still borked, I think today is a write off folks, maintenance will be beginning in two and a half hours anyway

I read it with a translator, so it gets a little bit screwy with the slang and translations, but they behave much better over there. Much more common sense, in general, than NA.

You mean the server that was sending death threats and organizing lynching when SE did SAM changes? That server you talk about? Forums are usually much more unfriendly than the actual player base ingame. Most forums have also good and bad apples. Its pretty normal.


That being said on the DDOS - I feel that US has it much worse than EU. I barely had 5-6 dc in 4 hours in EU, on US its like every 5 minutes. Dont really know why.
