Posted November 10, 2013 is this the end of Wurm Online as we know it?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 10, 2013 As far I can see is that the company that host wurm servers are Hetzner? http://www.hetzner.de/ And what I can see they are very cheap and not very popular in googles searches. Well I think Wurm crew have to be thinking about this kind of things. It wont happen big games such as world of warcraft. And wurm is growing right? great game but this is not acceptable unfortunatly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 10, 2013 I think the complaints here about the downtime and the subsequent suggestions are warranted. Complaining about other peoples complaints are the only pointless responses I've read so far. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are hosting the webservers, the game servers are being hosted in Sweden by a swedish company in the town where Rolf lives. I am too lazy to find their name right now. is this the end of Wurm Online as we know it?! No. It is not the first time it has happened either, last time the website and forums had to be rebuilt. Wurm won't die, it will just return stronger than ever. PS; Rolf, hang in there and I hope the culprits can be tracked down and held responsible for their actions.

Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) well it is almost Monday for Rolf wish him to be well rested and best of luck getting Wurm back online Cheers! Almost? It's 9pm here, in Europe, Sunday. Company meeting will not start earlier than 9am - so 12h to go for talk about this problem, more to solve it. PS: datacenter (for login server at least) Abexeo/Exeo AB in Motala, Sweden.

Posted November 10, 2013 Glad for the update, Keep them coming On a side note, It sucks when you just got a new computer, and the only thing you had installed is wurm....... >_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 10, 2013 Food, shelter, electricity and wurm... the basic needs of life. I am certainly going through Wurm withdrawal! Good luck in getting things up and running soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS; Rolf, hang in there and I hope the culprits can be tracked down and held responsible for their actions. Yeah, I googled ddos Sweden and looks like a few in Sweden have been getting hit the last couple months. I'll just be glad when someone finally manages to create a way to track down these kinds of attacks. That's where my anger is directed, not at any of the victims. Rolf and his hosting company are as much victims as the rest of us. More actually. I think the perpetrators should all be shot, bound, gagged, and thrown in the ocean. Not necessarily in that order. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Brand new player on Exodus, been eyeing this game for years finally took the plunge. (Shameless advert: looking for village to place my hut in, then I'll gladly put a few dozen hours of terraforming/paving to earn my newbie keep.. it'll help me level anyways) Joined... 4.. 5 days ago... Subscribed the day before DDoS and went to bed shortly after. Cursed LOUDLY upon noticing the servers were down and louder when I noticed it was a DDoS attack. As for the script kiddies doing this, congrats. Now imma help promote this game so it can afford having your sorry behinds blocked at the press of a few keys (And with some luck occasionally tracked down). Gaming pedigree, starting 1988 on my Atari 2600.. Online 1997, tried dozens of games from MUD to indie to corporate to asian p2w. First time I see a game's creator updating people like a "lowly" CM btw, major kudoes. Build my own PC's, permanently on Linux and gaming just fine kthx =P Edited November 10, 2013 by Mordraug 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 10, 2013 Creed will you please shut up. I've read several posts of yours already, and all you are doing is complaining about Wurm Online and the server company Rolf and the team contract. This is not a thread to discuss your irrational feelings, poor grammar, or to "teach" everyone the principles of keeping this game running and gathering player base. Please take your thoughts on such matters to another thread, and leave this thread for updates and player questions/support concerning the down-time. Thank you. With that being said, bummer on the extended down time, but hopefully Monday or Tuesday we'll be up and running with no other ramifications in the foreseeable future. Thanks for the update team. No I have my opinion and say this here. so many think the same but for all fanboys here nobody will write this here for the reposts will incomming for "flame not the game"... read it or dont read it. i have the same rights here do my opinion like the other onw here do! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 10, 2013 to all the dudes saying there is no one working at the data center - of course there are people there, but as previously pointed out it's all down to money saving SLA's - and that's something most companies won't pay properly for. And let me add that type of 24/7 support is very very very expensive.... and it's not like the tech guy at the center not wanting to help, heck i bet he would appreciate having something to do but rather him being told "no you don't, they are not covered by SLA."

Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Creed... This summed a lot up nice and simple regarding DDoS. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/03/dns_reflection_ddos_amplification_hacker_method/ And just to give you an idea of the costs involved to block DDoS on demand. Judging from the amount of players I got to see online summing all the servers.... ehm ouch? Way I see it the extra publicity might be just what is needed (I see a self-defeating script kiddie out there.. hello you.. u mad?) ((no, not calling creed the ddos'er for the record)). http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showpost.php?s=ad5faf3c73b1e3db71a4ae09b5145ef8&p=7320181&postcount=8 Edited November 10, 2013 by Mordraug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
