Possible, but this week is off for students in my area as well. Friday is a stat holiday and Monday some companies and schools still give off.freekender wrote:Just to pop up a theory I have... The last time the server went off again and again, it matches some holiday days here in Spain. And the very same happens now, as the next Tuesday and Friday are free days (and Monday of the next week in some areas). Children and people from High Schools have this whole week and the next one free. So, could our "beloved friend" be Spanish and/or living in Spain? Maybe is only a coincidence, but this conspiracy theory of mine gets stronger in my mind each time the DDOS (or whatever in the hell this is) occurs.

Re: Server down?
We are currently considering a number of ways to combat the problem. We are also in regular communication with many (probably a majority) of the other NWN2 server administrators.
While the care and effort being shown in here is certainly appreciated, there probably will not be dramatic changes overnight.
Please bear with us regardless, as best as you are able. But as Thids suggests, don't let yourself get frustrated. There are a lot of great games out there that you can enjoy with your gaming time -- and if you really need your NWN2 fix, there are several other great servers that are not currently seeing attacks, and can offer you a more stable gaming experience while we work through the rough patches here.
Just don't forget to come home when you're done exploring.

Now seriously. My apologies for contributing to the madness already created by these attacks. I recognize I was a bit frustated when I wrote my previous post.
Thanks for calming down things Thids. You are completely right with your assessment.Thids wrote:Listen guys, this thing keeps happening on a regular basis twice(?) a year. It happened last year around February and again around December. Now it's starting up again... It will probably last around a month or so, then it will stop. We will see it happen again around Fall/Winter most likely. Every time it happens, threads like this are spammed with guesses as to who it could be, outrages, childish insults directed at our unknown attacker and similar things. Last time the popular theory was "oh look that other server just announced a comeback, it's probably them ddosing us!". Take my advice, and stop wasting time and energy. If your playtimes are within the window when the ddos happens daily, find something else to do for a while and check back in a few weeks, it should stop by then. If you can/want to help, then by all means, pm the admins.
And now for something completely different... Remeber to always look on the bright side of life...

Re: Server down?
...set the server to restart when ever there is a high load DDOS attack?
once the scripting detects that it no longer has a connection to a server wouldn't it break off?
Or maybe setup the router itself to reset? (is that possible)?

Re: Server down?
So we're still being hit?
I wonder if someone set up a program and walked away or if some troll is drinking energy drinks in a basement somewhere thinking they're the shit...
