i pick this conversation from a forum.................

(17:03:58)(&Smug) Ok i'm here for 2minutes
(17:04:03)(&Smug) just to let you know whats happening
(17:04:11)(&Smug) in fact, we are getting attacked
(17:04:15)(&Smug) DDOS of 400mbps
(17:04:40)(&Smug) init is going himself to our datacenter to resolve this problem
(17:04:51)(&Smug) it should be fixed within the day or tomorrow at worse.
(17:05:10)(&Smug) thanks.
(17:05:18)(&Smug) please pass this message whenever someone ask

DDOS, denial of server attack. Basically sends ping requests to the server, flooding everyone else out and killing the bandwidth, thus it's done.

i was on that forum cuz that guild have a gm on their main....................

Since it looks like qRO will be out of commission for sometime, you could always kill time with some other games, like Quake 4 (which kicks major ass, BTW and is a much better game than Doom 3, in my opinion

), and F.E.A.R., which have both recently released for PC. However, both games (especially F.E.A.R.) are pretty graphic intensive games, more so than Doom 3/Far Cry/Half-Life 2.

Oh yeah, there's also the new Half-Life 2: Lost Coast level that was released on Steam today, which is basically a graphic-intensive level that is intended to show off High-Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting * on the latest ATi and nVIDIA graphic cards.

* High-Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting: You can think of this lighting effect similar to the effect when your eyes (IRL) have to adjust to bright lighting, such as a brightly lighted room or light emitted from the sun. Far Cry already has this feature.

Oh yeah, the Quality Lineage II server is still up and is not affected by the attack (as that server is based in Colorado, not Quebec like qRO is), so you could always check that out too.

From some random source (but I'd believe it!)

[11:40] <Gona|AFK> i got news
[11:40] <Gona|AFK> from the situation
[11:40] <Smug> I do
[11:40] <Smug>
[11:40] <Smug> in fact those are bad news
[11:40] <Smug> our contract from our datacenter got cancelled due to the attack's force
[11:41] <Smug> we will move to another server provider soon
[11:41] <Smug> so it could take a few days before qRO gets back.
[11:41] <Smug> Thanks, and we ap

Yeah, 3 more days guys

......

well...at least...some good news........

<frostycpu> qRO will be back soon
<frostycpu> it's just that theplanet has no dual xeons left for now
<Sanosuke> is there gonna be a wipe?
<frostycpu> no
<frostycpu> all our data is safe
<frostycpu> I can't give an exact date since we don't know when the hosting compagny will buy new servers
<frostycpu> they buy them on a somewhat regular basis though
<frostycpu> it shouldn't take very long
<frostycpu> yes we are moving Tragepe
<frostycpu> we're going back to our other datacenter
<frostycpu> which is very big
<frostycpu> and can handle this kind of crap
<frostycpu> Free Advanced Security and Other Tools
<frostycpu> * Arbor PeakFlow DDoS Detection
<frostycpu> * TippingPoint Intrusion Detection & Prevention
<frostycpu> * Cisco Guard DDoS Mitigation
<frostycpu> * Urchin Web Stats
<frostycpu> * Remote Reboot
<frostycpu> * Backup Services
<frostycpu> * Cisco Guard DDoS Mitigation = godly
<frostycpu> qRO will return the same as it was when the servers were disconnected

(18:31:33) (Tragepe) hey, frosty, new server will be 2.8ghz dual xeons?
(18:31:39) (~frostycpu) yes
(18:31:42) (Tragepe) ok =D
(18:31:44) (Chiyo) why not 2.9?
(18:31:51) (Ronster) what;s going on
(18:32:00) (~frostycpu) nothing really new Ronster
(18:32:13) (~frostycpu) I just pasted a few lines of theplanet's server descriptions
(18:32:25) (~frostycpu) that said that their datacenters can filter 32GBPS of DDoS
