    Very high chance someone is doing a DDOS attack on UO.

    It will keep happening, for up to 2 weeks they say, depending on Broadsword/EA response ability, and whether they get bored/give up.

    Good luck to the Devs and the team.

    why 2 weeks?
    Because that is what they suggested they would do.

    I think maybe is time to move all shards to a more secure server?
    This is happening most with the East Coast Shards?
    It is very annoying and something need to be done, may as well put all shards offline and fix?
    because this play for 5 min, down, 5 min, down. is not working

    There are no ddos attacks. Where's the proof? The servers were crashing until they went through maintenance then they were fine for many hours. Any further downtime was very likely when the devs taking them down to fix the problems. Stop spreading dumb rumors and stick to copy/pasting scripts

    Honestly I do not know, apparently, I heard a rumor, I dont think it is.. someone is making stuff up.

    He got all those high profile contact.. in his head.  :|


    Give us a single proof of what you're advancing.. or we gonna assume it's your nephews doing that.  :D


    Edit: Albion Online did the same thing at some point.. they were changing their server (transfering their data base or doing a major maintenance stuff) game was very laggy and buggy with random disconnect for ~10 days.. it has been rumored it was a DDOS attack that synch the same day as this VERY SPECIAL maintenance..

    (so they wouldn't have to refund sub)
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    Leave attended paying accounts alone, these people go thru a lot of trouble to play/automate the game.

    It started as: a major database maintenance will be performed; longer maintenance:
    https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/183012-FINISHED-Long-Maintenance-warning-July-5-10-UTC/

    the same day (players were dying/losing gear cuz of random disconnect; server instability)
    https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/183206-RESOLVED-05-07-23-08-00-UTC-Server-Instability-Issues-Update-8-30-UTC/

    Update the next day.. still server instability:
    https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/183265-RESOLVED-05-07-23-22-20-UTC-Server-Instability-Issues-Updated-06-07-23-01-15-UTC/

    3 days later.. SBI were panicking.. people would ask for compensation for their subscription and losing gears in game cuz of random disconnect..
    So they switch guns to DDOS: https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/183382-08-July-23-07-15-Over-Ongoing-DDoS-Attack-Update-12-00-UTC/

    5 days later.. "DDOS" still going on: https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/183530-Weekend-Update-July-10/

    1 week after the major data base maintenance still DDOS:  https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/183612-12-07-23-12-15-UTC-over-DDoS-Attack-on-West-Server/

    It went like that till the 19 july (14 days) following their major database maintenance (moving to another cloud provider)


    Does it ring a bell?

    I've been on LS all night, When Atlantic returned I was able to do VS with 4 to 5 clicked properties, but the jewels were all Antique and no excellent armor pieces with 4MR.

    Lots of faulty info here, only 3 shards would have been migrated today:

    The crashes were not because of the immigrants:

    It's not a reason to be racist!  :*

    You mean the migration?


    PS: it was the same with SBI.. first 3 days they called that server "instability" after the exceptional major database stuff but they said it had nothing to do with it.. they were investigating...
    Took them 3 days (players were calling them out for compensation and were big mad)
    SBI flip the victim UNO reverse card with a DDOS attack, asking to be patient.

    Same as here.. the problem started ~3 hours before the planned major database stuff.. legit a copy pasta.

    An immigrant is a migrant who intends to settle in their new server permanently.

    I know words.

    Yup LS, GL and Legends go last. They want to make sure there are no greanie meanies before sending the good shards to our new homes.
