Title: Do we need protected servers or not?
Post by: [SWISS]Merlin on Sunday, March 25, 2018, 09:07:55 AM
There are many servers with "ddos protected" in its server names, but there is no proof of it at all. As you could see many times now, only the "official servers" located at the United States and the ones running on the "big" Europe server are real protected against ddos attacks. And i did try many other options with not that high costs as you also know, but there was no way to get the protection cheaper. Also sad to say that the attacks are still going on - and not only from Edie as i could see.

So it is up to you now to save this game against ddos attacks or not. You can rent a server for 20 Euros with real protection or you just can donate to the paypal pool with the link below. We all know, it is a lot of money for a month without ddos attacks - maybe to much to pay for.

Servers/Donations:          https://paypal.me/pools/c/82iRBHJqbQ

The money you did spend will be refunded to you at your paypal account if the goal will not be reached. Good luck and thanks for the help!

Btw: i will not lock this topic, so bad words and hate will find theyr way more easy

i just purchased a server from israeli company that says that all of theirs server are DDoS protected, how can i check it for real? (they said that all of the company server are conected to a firewall and have a protection from ddos)

why you did not buy a secured server when you bought it,[Merlin]
individually is certainly more expensive than buying common protected server :?

then show me finaly a protected server - i see not only one so far, except the ones i did write about above. all datacenters calling theyr servers ddos protected can protect a webpage, but not this old game. but soon we will see, when the real protected server is gone. and to all others whith protected servers - show us, would be great to have cheap ddos protection.

@alkos: i did try 4 different datacenters with all included (also ddos). and - nothing, did not work at all. no protection. no one can protect our servers without help of aa2assist administrators. so it is, its a fact.

i dont need the stress, the bills, the paypal differences and all that stuff. i did it only because
 - i wanted to show the attackers that there is a way
- i wanted to have this game up and running

i made the proof, now its up to you all. thanks to all who did support it, great teamwork and teamspirit it was.

I'm not sure but maybe they indirectly attacks the servers.
for me it looks like they attack the Authserver so we lose connection to our servers.
I don't belive they pick every single server and DDos them.

only four days for payment of a protected server!!
support the game without DDoS because after four days we will never be able to have again protected server.

It's guaranteed if merlin protected servers don't exist any longer ddos will have a fun attacking unprotected servers and people will be complaining by then it's to late cause merlin stated he will not again get involved trying to protect servers any longer

So people that love playing so much reach in your pocket book $ 5 to $10 will not make you broke

If not enjoy not playing no longer simple as that

So if u don't reach that cash what's going on then?
Title: Re: Do we need protected servers or not?
Post by: [SWISS]Merlin on Friday, March 30, 2018, 12:05:32 PM
the protected servers are not payed anymore, so they all will be shut down at the 1st or April - and this is not a joke. thats all. then i guess all will start again like it was before December 2017. some of us did try hard to keep this game alive - without those attacks. but i understand, 20 Euro for a protected server is too much, better rent a server with only 20 slots for 25 Euro ;)

Thanks again to all who did support the protected servers. As you know, there is another way to play this game without any attacks - ddos protected servers from Nick/Possessed:

- Anti-DDOS | MP_Pool_Day | VortexServers.com
- Anti-DDOS | SFhospital | VortexServers.com
- Anti-DDOS | Bridge | VortexServers.com
- Anti-DDOS | Pipeline_SF | VortexServers.com
- Anti-DDOS | Urban_Assault | VortexServers.com
- Anti-DDOS | Mountain_Pass | VortexServers.com

If this shit starts again, you will find me there or on aapg.

The donations for April has been refunded now. Let me know if the transaction is not successful. Cheers!
