25 are playing, the rest is waiting. i guess the previous ddos have been just tests. now the botmaster keeps perpetuum closed for how long he wants... lets hope not for weeks

Re: Server up or down?

If its weeks, i might finally get those long extensions done before i spend all my EP every few days.

Very sad sad

Re: Server up or down?

Devs are on the case but these sorts of issues take time to resolve and they move around so much that fixing it from one place just causes it to pop up from another. Botnets. big_smile

Re: Server up or down?

Downtimes will be compensated, goes without saying.

Re: Server up or down?

DEVs are waiting for a reponse from ISP to blacklist/block the offending IPs causing this.

RIP PERPETUUM

Re: Server up or down?

so we are just waiting for a response from the isp  so we can exspect this to take how long?

Ahh you see the devs are on the irc (theres a link somewhere in the forum stickies) and they can tell you when its working rather than every 5 mins someone going - is it up yet, is it up yet tongue

Re: Server up or down?

why do i need to be on a chat channal to get this information?? when it can easely be put on the game client or on the web page?

Re: Server up or down?

*sighs* Its on the forum and on the client.

I'm just saying if you wanted up to date second by second updates you can get them there.

you know the five stages of grief/death?

Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance

A certain person  told me that DEVs are often going through these stages when it comes to their product.
-> i guess with this DDoS attack, they are at the middle point (bargaining) and they need get to the last stage before putting it up into NEWS section wink

Disclaimer:
i mean with "Acceptance" that they accept that it should be displayed on the main page and login, that the game is currently unplayable due to constant DDOS attack...
Im NOT saying that the game is dead

*Disclaimer: This post can contain strong sarcasm or cynical remarks. keep that in mind!

Right now I'd assume the devs are trying to work out what to do and how to get protect their game from future attacks. I understand they don't have time to tell us every detail and why would they want to? They're trying to be professional. Why report on information you don't have yet?

My biggest fear is that they're all working on PBS but I can't see the game being able to support such features at the moment. It's a case of missing the mark. The fundamental systems aren't there yet and their big show stopped is now at risk of being a show flopper.

I really hope we see some of the other issues with the game addressed. As much as I want to see new features I'd like to see old mechanics reworked and make more fun or using new systems.

Perpetuum is a massive grind fest. that requires massive amounts of logistics to keep an organised group together. It constantly creates drama and if you want to do well you have to push mechanics to their limits. That said I really love the vision behind Perpetuum and only wish that the design, concepts and graphics could be done justice. I want to see Perpetuum do well and will continue to support it.

My only fear is that the devs will give up. I really don't want to see that happen! You can do it devs. Awesome product and awesome ideas. Keep it up and make the world the way you imagined it.

Re: Server up or down?

I don't really play anymore, however I wish no ill will on this dame and its developement, if the dev's would like to contact me, I own a technology company that deals with these sort of threats and preventative measures to keep them from happening. This service I would gladly offer for free.

Without knowing you and only judging you by your posts on the forums here, I´d say:

IT´S A TARP!

The ones saying "impossible" shall not disturb the ones already doing it

Re: Server up or down?

My posts are merely to "stir up the hornets nest" of players. Nothing to do with the actual game. Move along trollski.
