Posted February 18, 2014 See http://wurmonline.com/2014/02/18/launch-day-ddos-game-offline/ Copy of announcement : Launch day DDOS – game offlineFebruary 18, 2014 by Rolf Shortly after todays update we were the target of a DDOS attack and our hosting provider had to pull us off the grid for now. We will be back as soon as possible but things are out of our hands since their other customers are affected. As we wrote in a previous news post we are planning on changing hosting anyways which should improve things for the future. We can offer 10 000 Euro for any tips or evidence leading to a conviction of the person responsible for this attack. Note from IRC Rolf it's the hosting company who decides when we get back onRolf first the attack has to stop Update see : http://wurmonline.com/2014/02/18/noon-19-feb-cet/ Copy of announcement : Expect Wurm to be offline at least until noon 19 Feb CETFebruary 18, 2014 by Rolf Most probably our hosting company will not put us back online until earliest noon tomorrow Swedish time when we have had possibility to discuss what to do. They are busy investigating and probably explaining the situation to their other customers at the moment so we don’t have a lot of communication. They are hard to reach so we don’t know if the attack persists and there is nothing we can do but wait and investigate our options at this stage.We will compensate for lost premium time. Update see : https://www.facebook.com/WurmOnline/posts/731180630234341?stream_ref=10 Copy of Facebook posting : Following up on yesterdays DDOS attack on our servers.As we have previously announced on our forums, we where already looking into migrating the hosting of Wurm to more secure and robust servers.It would also mean an overall performance boost compared to our current set up.This event shows it is none to soon so as we would still experience downtime during a migration, we will go forward with this immediately. Update see : http://wurmonline.com/2014/02/19/server-move/ Copy of announcement : Server move February 19, 2014 by Rolf Since we do not know how, when or under which circumstances our current hosting company want to bring our servers back online we are working on retrieving the data from those servers and put on the new planned hosting. We have the new hosting prepared but it will take a while to set it up.The game will not be back online within the next 8 hours but we’ll do our best to keep going until they are. We’ll know more at around 20.00 hrs CET today. Update see : http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/96315-update-concerning-ddos-attack-and-downtime/ Summary of announcement : ... we are confident that Wurm shall be running on the new servers within a day....No premium time will be lost and the game whilst down is frozen in time so your deeds are safe. Though still unclear regarding status of a rollback, we have backups on the data from just after the attack and from earlier in the day.... The following tweet has been sent out from some/all servers ... The server is shutting down in 1 seconds. Reason: Move restarte.g. Deli : https://twitter.com/Freedom0002/status/436192339657519104(That's the old servers being shut down for the last time .... <plays Taps> ) We can now happily announce that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 Premium won't be effected, just RL time, as the game's offline in advance means it was frozen to prevent any time loss too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 We didn't get 5h of sb after the update, perhaps someone thought it could be arranged by causing a serverdown and didn't expect it to be recognized as DDOS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 18, 2014 is game stiff frozen to, like gardens and stuff or will that all rot away? I'd imagine it's frozen, thus why it was taken down ahead of time on it from what I understand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 Honestly, DDOS attacks cannot be completely prevented and since they are out of the control of Rolf and his team, there really is ZERO room for any of us to complain to the devs. It's not their fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 18, 2014 the more i think about it the more im sure it was that one idiot a few weeks back who for a few weeks kept making new toons,and spamming a link to some wurm macro hacker site.the guy was persistent,and really enraged.a wannabe hacker.and his only goal was to dis wurm,and he said plainly he wanted wurm to die.some mod or gm should know who/what im talking about,and you have his isp address Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
