Not going anywhere. Keep up the great work, Octo!

[Ronny123]

so do we have any plan on how to resolve this? cause right now it's like "yeah we are being attacked, its looking rough" like a sitting duck. obviously the attacker will keep bullying you if you have no defence or plan whatsoever...

They are starting early today. No updates, today will be another rough one from the looks of it.

Don't want to be a dickhead about it, but shouldn't you be gathering at FlokiNet with pitchforks for not delivering?

There is only so much that can be done. especially since the original plan was to have the infrastructure delivered on like Tuesday from what I remember being said. Everything now is a ramshackle attempt at mitigating it. The idea behind the attacks isn't to make you "upset". it's to make Octo look unstable and unappealing. driving traffic away and towards a certain OTHER server. Since there are no actual other VIABLE competitors. It's a tactic employed by certain groups. Instead of offering a superior product, you sabotage the competition any way you can to make them look inferior.

also is it just me or are the plainstriders in the barrens messed up?

Haha, yeah. I was waiting for someone to point it out. I don't care, I picked this avatar before RavenCraft became a thing. I'm not budging.

Exactly what a spy would say :^)

coming over here from Project Ascension as it is closing ive had nothing but a great time i havent been affected much by the DDoS atttacks (i play at weird hours) but i feel like once this is resolved this server is gonna grow like crazy

me too, i come from ascension and this server has great potential. ddos only is affecting my experience of the game unfortunately.

The revamped talent trees, the professions and the racials and new spells as well as classic spells mechanics slight changes with new areas like gilneas and isles can bring lot of fun and good times. though i wonder if following to closely the same timeline as it was in vanilla MC -> zul gurub -> AQ 40 -> naxxramas is not too classic and hope for a different or parallel timeline with boss or challenge occuring in new areas to bring fresh feelings in a classic world. with ascension and turtle wow and now octowow, it seems doable for dev to make new area on the map so actually i wonder why not a new map ? or an extended map with polar worlds on north and south and far east and far west territory. A big giant map, new creatures, new adventure and big wars !!
