Dragon's Tale - a Massively Multiplayer Online RPG/Casino

Yep.  I've tried in UDP and TCP.  Seems to be down.

An update by PM from someone who can't yet post.

Hey I just talked to Di, he said someone is DDoSing the ISP for Dragon Tales. I can't post to the forum yet so can you post this for me.

Gosh, I wonder who could possibly be doing that.  The morons who claim to be from Russia perhaps who attacked Seals?  Or someone we know perhaps.   

[darkmule]

Something like an update might be nice.

Bueller?  Bueller?

I managed to log on for the first time and say "Hello" for the level 1 quest before it crashed :p

[CecilNiosaki]

Anyone hear anything new?

[darkmule]

Diddly fucking squat.  Great goddamn communication.

It's online again

[darkmule]

It's online but bitcoind is down so neither deposits nor cashouts can be made.

[Yurkov]

So how do I fix this?

[Yurkov]

nvm, just re-opened it again

[darkmule]

DDoS again or just a hiccup?  Been down a few minutes.

EDIT:  I'm back, site doesn't seem to have tons of people reconnecting, so maybe it's just me.  Was down about 10 minutes to me.

I just wanted to give this a quick review and state that I'm really enjoying my time in this. The community is excellent! The games are also a lot of fun when you win or know what you're doing (and if you don't, ask for a mentor!). I would suggest taking a few BTC in, because it makes your life easier, but it's awesome

Is the client down again??

[darkmule]

The server appears to be down.  I'm sure we'll be getting terribly useful in-game updates some time after it comes up, whenever that is.

[teppy]

The game is back up. The ISP is telling me that the outage (10+ hours) was due to them re-configuring a firewall to be more resistant to future DDoS attacks. The way traffic flows between our servers looked to them like a DDoS. We may have another 1-2 hour outage in the next few days if they need us to reconfigure routing among our servers to accommodate their infrastructure - I haven't heard back yet if that will be necessary.

[teppy]

We're experiencing another outage due to a DDoS, which the ISP has confirmed is directed at us. I'm trying to get things moved back to the US temporarily - will update when I know more.

[darkmule]

Thanks for the update.

Another update: I called Di(Teppy), he said that the Costa Rican ISP is currently preventing him from accessing the servers. We also have two physical server backups but both are held at the same data center, so he is not able to transfer any data over to the hardware in the US.

[FuzzyBear]

hmm y they not letting him access the server??

Maybe there's a reason someone was DDoSing those crooks.  Sounds like their shit needs fucked up.
