Topic: DDOS ATTACKS - COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR PERP AND THE DEVS

As we all know, this past week has seen, per the DEVs analysis, that the server has been under a DDOS attack.  Especially today, many of us cannot even log on.  Whereas I am sure they are doing everything they can to resolve this, as a community, there are things we need to do as well.

This has been substantial speculation as to the source of these attacks, and many have some very strong opinions as to who it could be.  Remember, however, that opinion is not fact, and unless there is objective evidence, it remains opinion.  Not to say that people do not have a right to voice an opinion, but it would behoove us not to be adamant in our opinions, nor to demonise or degrade someone for theirs.

Factually speaking, there currently is no objective evidence that these are even due to an individual associated with Perpertuum, whether that be a current or former disgruntled player. 

But if that is indeed the case, and any current member of the community has evidence that does indicate such, the proper point of contact should be the DEVs, and not these forums or General Chat.

Also, if indeed this is due to a disgruntled player/explayer, we also need to send a clear message that no matter what they do, we will not waiver in support of Perpetuum and the DEVs, and that NO EXTERNAL ACTION BY ANYONE WILL CAUSE US TO EITHER CEASE PLAYING OR CAUSE US NOT TO RESUB! 

NO ONE, WHATEVER THEIR GRIEVANCE, HAS THE RIGHT TO DENY US OUR RIGHT TO CONTINUE TO ENJOY PERPETUUM!

I ask the community to put aside their differences and show in this thread our support to the DEVs and Perpetuum.


EDIT - I ask for the DEVs and Moderators to please remove any trolling from this thread

In the gods we trust, all others bring data!

innocent until proven guilty!

i think that is still a fact.
ok the us goverment wanted to change that with pipa and sopa. but for us this still works.

just because you think that this person might fit the small minded profile that you need to do something like this, does not mean that this person is indeed the culplit.

Re: DDOS ATTACKS - COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR PERP AND THE DEVS

There's also the psychological factor of giving someone credit for something they didn't do.
