Deep Dark Server Confessions

[DeusMechanicus]

We are in the process of getting better protection. We tried a few other configs on our end, which stopped the first wave and the server was back up for a few days. Then a different one came in that we haven't been able to address effectively with our current resources. DDOS is cheap at the small scale, so we're growing a bit to make sure that they'll be spending significantly more money to disrupt us in the future. I doubt anyone will bother us again.

Hopefully a few more days of being down and we should have it sorted. It's not really an issue of money, but trying to work with what we have and being pushed past the constraints we've been working with for the past 3 years. If people hadn't decided to be d!cks to us, then our current services probably would have been sufficient for a much longer time.

I, along with the rest of the players of RoR, wish to issue eternal gratitude for the effort the RoR team has put into this. It is clear that this is a labor of love for the game. Respect.
