Good luck with that, some people just like to watch the galaxy burn.

When lulzsec ddosed EVE they made sure everyone knew about it, same when DERP ddosed Phantomlord (and EVE got caught in the crossfire). This time nobody is taking credit which makes me doubt the "watching the world burn" story.

On the other hand using frequent ddos attacks to blackmail/extract a protection fee from a relatively small MMO provider such as CCP makes a lot of sense to me - they have limited means to protect against DDOS attacks (compared to giants like Blizzard) and frequent disruptions of service do really threaten their business.

I (and not just me) had this "Socket closed" thing started way before the first recent "DDOS" attack...

IMO, the question is, how long can you blame everything on DDOS attacks?


Blaming DDOS attacks for the problems is all well and good but then depriving paying customers of a paid for service and blaming DDOS attacks is not good.

While CCP can't control the attacks, like any good business they should compensate the paying customers for the disruption caused by said attacks, like any business events beyond the control of the business are the business's problem not the customers.

Yeah, I was thinking blackmailers too. That happens all the time with sites that need high uptime %s - for example, sports gambling sites get ddosed during the world cup something horrendous.

I know a lot of gambling sites in the past have just paid up, because it's sometimes not a lot of money demanded. They'll never admit it though, just makes them a target for others.

There is no protection from ddos.

CCP owe us nothing, be grateful they have not shut down the servers for the last 5 days.

As usual of late, this round of network issues was caused by a DDoS attack.

Scam to boost CCP's follower count. A smart Dev team would put important info like this on the community forums which is the logical place for it.

protect was maybe a bad word, I considered editing it to mitigate but by that point someone had already quoted my post so I left it as is.

has anybody thought that all our attacks and complaint look like tears? If our attackers have anywhere near as warped sense of satisfaction as ourselves our forum threads are probably being reposted for lulz.

If you've discovered a way to protect servers from a DDOS attack while still connected to the internet, the congratulations, you're going to become very wealthy, since no one else on the planet has been able to do that. (null routing doesn't count).

Also, if you actually pay say $100 to DDOSers to stop an attack, then the next day they'll come back saying "we want $1000", then "we want $10,000" the next day, until you run out of cash. Seriously, paying just puts a huge target on your back saying DDOS FOR FREE MONEY.

Ha i don't think anyone here would want CCP or any other company to give in to demands (if any were made) i'd sooner the servers were shut down for a week. CCP would reimburse for any substantial loss to players.

Its probably more likely some little spotty spec wearing **** bag that didn't get enough hugs and kiss's from mummy and daddy, and is masturbating to these comments that's doing it.
