NA Servers Down Again

    Quote from Typhir

    They could be getting DDOS'ed. We have no idea what the issue is until or unless GameForge tells us as end-users. Getting frustrated gets us nowhere. Relax and listen to some music or play something else while we wait for news or for the server to get back online.


    I'm sure that they know about it already. Almost all online software services (especially services that must be running 24x7 like MMOs) have a 24x7 team that actively monitors service uptime. The fact that the NA server has gone down three times in the last 24 hours is certainly a cause for concern and investigation by their respective network and application teams.

    well like i said this happened in beta and it took till the next day for it to be fix, and that was during the week, so...

    Will they refund the VIP pack purchase for something like this if we put in a request? (Steam that is)

    damn right! because with the "server overloaded". ya know ever damn mmo giver priority to those who pay for the elite status. Then that dont mean ....ya. No seriously they over charge here for the cash shop. fuck it pay it in the eu then because they f'in server stay up. Unlike NA and they want more money. F that.

    They may have a 24/7 team that actively monitors it (I don't think they even have that much). But, even if that's the case, they don't have someone active 24/7 that has the authentication for a server reboot if it goes down. Recent past has proven that, having to wait until their office hours.


    It most likely is a DDOS though. My bank being that it's someone salty that can't play our version, or someone from the EU servers doing it for shts and giggles since we seem to be the only ones ever having this problem. While we are the highest pop server, we are by no means overflooding since the game's on a constant decline (gee I wonder why).

    Say seriously hoes ya'll need to pay up. this like the 3rd time in 24 hrs. sayin shit like " we gotta get our money so we gotta change silver and gold" look not sho how it work in the EU but this motherfuckin NA ya gotta work fo that cash. Get it popin!!!Because right now ya just fuckin us on that cashshop. And ya server quality. Wait is that even f'in quality.??? that hoe none existent.

    When everything comes crashing down.

    You know someone is DDoS'ing the servers?


    Basically if someone wanted to make you suffer they could call you over and over. You block their number, but then they use a different phone to continue spam calling you. So what do you do? Wait for the person to get bored, temporarily turn off your phone and ignore it. Or call the police to track the caller down and arrest them for harassment? Well, that last option is too much effort.

    which is really some hoe ass shit because they look after tha eu. seriously f them with this shit.. the only f'in server that stay down.....wtf. and we the ones they charge the most. they so f'in sorry they wont even make shit work on our time but they charge use the most. noo this hoes out of line

    Yeah... even I'm getting salty about this and normally I'm very laid-back when it comes to MMOs I play. I can appreciate that GameForge is probably doing their best (at least, I want to; I like giving people the benefit of the doubt where possible). And in Beta, I was very willing to overlook the frequent crashes and NA going down. But it's getting to the point where when me and a friend were playing last night and NA went down, we were making jokes about how often the game crashes and NA dying. It's getting very old. We've both been genuinely enjoying the game, even with the crashes and all the glitches (and translation problems). If NA were to end up being down all weekend it would be... -really- not great to put it lightly.


    If this is a DDOS, I'm really wondering what the people doing it are getting out of it? Like, I'm skeptical of that, but at the same time, I don't really know enough about technology to know much about those so I don't feel confident commenting on that. On one hand it definitely seems possible though... so I'm just going to wait until we get further word I guess.

    When they said they were out of open beta, I was expecting that they'd be able to stabilize the server. From the looks of it though, the server now is no different from when it was in open beta.


    As for the DDOSing, my guess is that it's probably the result of a badly coded script for one of the gold seller's bots.

    Im trying my best to no be mad. And to try to think they are doing the best they can as a company. But ....i know to much about this company. As long as they can get away with stuff like this they will. The constant crashing, the crazy downtime. And not one word from them about compensation. The obviously over priced cash shop. When cheaper in other regions.


    Man look they just need to be realistic. Are they trying to milk us as hard as they can while they show favor to the EU and Asia. Or are they for once going to be a decent company operating in NA. That's all i can see at this point.
