As above, we've retriggered our DDOS protection protocols. Unfortunately, this means you need to whitelist yourself by clicking the link at the top to get through the firewall.

I can't connect despite white-listing myself via the link above and trying again 5mins later. Server timing out when I tried connecting, even though player counter above indicates 30+/96.

Try logging in, then logging out of multi player, then click white list link, then log back in after 5 min.

Tried this many times, still doesn't work for me.

Late last year, I had this same situation. Server kept showing timed out, even though the player counter clearly showed an active status. I wasn't able to log in for months. Spoke with the admins - it wasn't a CD Key ban nor a blocked IP address. Nobody seem to be able to pinpoint the problem, then strangely, I was able to log in again a couple of months later.

This time round, I can't afford to be unable to log in for months. Have brought new friends to the server and we are an active group.

Saying this just in case... Are you trying via Direct Connect and it keeps failing? If so, have you downloaded the Client Extension? If not, do so. Then go through trying to connect to the server IG via the list.

Give your internet box a restart too - wait 5 mins or longer (important) before starting it again.

You might've tried this but sometimes it's the little things...

As Glowfire suggests, try resetting your router, if last time it randomly worked for you after a few months (as I suspect your IP may have been reset and that fixed it). Then try to whitelist again.

Hopefully we won't have to keep the protections in place for many weeks, as before; but as of this weekend we still have been taking DDOS traffic.

if direct connect do not work anymore and the only chance of connecting is via Client Extension then this is frustrating because I'm on a mac and CE do not work here so that means that BG is closed for me from now on ? :(

anyway i can't connect either even if i have white listed myself with the link at the top of the page ....

also is Sshamath guild disbanded ? i can't see it listed on guild list and i have no more access to the private forum ( i've been away some months )

Hey guys/gals I've been away for a long long while. Just recently I've gotten more free time to play. With that being said I can't login.

I've tried white listing myself, resetting my router, uninstalled and re installed the CE, tried logging in through the Direct Connect, and here we are.

Any suggestions on how I can get into the game?


Thanks

We're undergoing another round of DDOS attacks. As a result Aspect of Sorrow turned on our DDOS mitigation protocols once more and to be able to access the game you'll first need to click the link on the player counter at the top of the forum (where it says "click here" and try again in 5 minutes).

It would be immensely helpful if everyone who reads this could please try your best to increase player awareness of this by sending notices to your guilds, Skype groups, Discord servers, etc. since inevitably this post might get buried and someone might not see it!

As before these measures are temporary and should be lifted as soon as the attacker grows bored and moves on again.
maybe an admin can send this to everyone?
