Posted February 18, 2014 On a lighter note , I was able to tryout most of the new content before the attack. WOW very nice and well worth the wait ! Go Go gadget wurm team! o Agreed! LOVE the new update. Every bit of it. Shame about the DDOS and how one sad person is trying to stop others from enjoying it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I find it odd that a DDoS attack would happen right after a major update. Wouldn't it be more likely that people are using the update as a reason to come back to the game, which could result in a DDoS-like sharp increase in traffic? I'm 100% sure that's what happened. No doubt i my mind! Edited February 18, 2014 by pimprage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 Everyone take this time to update the WIKI!!!!! It's harder to do that when I haven't had a chance to check out the new features. I was hoping to work on some wiki articles for the new content. On the plus side, this is giving me a chance to learn how to pass JVM options from javaws. I've been wanting to get rid of that warning message about running 32-bit java on a 64-bit machine. (Turns out you just need to use "-J-d64" as an argument for javaws.) I might have to play around with more JVM options when the servers go back up to see if there's any good optimization options I can use like I could with Minecraft. Those shadows are killing my framerate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 I just hope it wasn't just all of us trying to log in to see the new crates and build wagons and stuff and it was seen as an attack because there were so many eager to play Wurmians! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 I'm 100% sure that's what happened. No doubt i my mind! except, not that many people play wurm............(lets say 5000 tried to get on just today, which is a HUGE over-estimate, that wouldn't cause this issue.) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 "We can offer 10 000 Euro for any tips or evidence leading to a conviction of the person responsible for this attack" worth a shot... TIP: my tip is to ask your hosting provider for the person's isp and then track them down or something? i dont know but its worth a daft suggestion in the possibility of getting 10k!

Posted February 18, 2014 Why not get 64 bit Java o.O? I did a bit ago, works better for most things. I have both 32-bit and 64-bit Java on the computer in question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
