First of it, I would like to thank you all because of supporting this nice game and its community. And no, it is not my game, I only try to help that it will not die soon. Behind this, it is very sad to see some players doing as much as they can to attack it and the fun of all of us. This all now is going to another chapter. And it is not easy – at least for me – to understand why.
The most of you do know that we had excessive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in the past – almost over one year. Because none of you did it before, I tried to find a solution against those attacks. And with the help of Possessed, I did try to find a datacenter which do protect servers against those DDoS attacks. After three unsuccessful tests with different datacenters, we did find a professional datacenter located at the Netherlands, which is doing the protection very good – but sadly not as cheap as we would like to have. The costs for this service is Euro 292.40 each month.
I tried my very best to show you all the concept to protect our servers as well as how to use this new service as a server owner. And I did know that one of the server owners, renting such a server, could be a possible attacker. During December, you all had the chance to test this new concept for free. And at this point, the sad new chapter starts.
[N.U.F.]Cpt.BLEI232 also tested one of those servers, letting me know that he would like to rent one of it to support this game and its community. And as every server owner do need an account to login, Cpt.BLEI232 also had one of those accounts - with the login name of "NUF". Since about three weeks, we could see that our new protected servers did – from time to time - react like they would have been attacked. But after searching through several log files, nothing did look like an attack - since yesterday.
As you can see, while using the links below, BLEI shamelessly used the confidence in him by installing a CPU stressing program, which he did run yesterday so hard, that all servers crashed!
I do not understand, why he did this to all of us. To the server owners, which do pay the 20 Euros each month, to the players and it's fun to play this game in peace. I do not understand why he shows us a face from a nice guy and in the back ground he is doing this accompanied with lies about others. Sad to see this kind of attack, misusing the trust in him. For sure I did now cancel his account, and sorry that I did it not earlier.
Here is the proof of it:
