DDoS attack is US!

[Sphene]

Hey guys I dont post on the forums often because I am new
but I was trying to get in tonight and play like the millions of other
FFXI players and I checked SE's website.. its siting a problem regarding a DDoS attack... this is bs... I am a Computer Science major so I
know my way around a network I did some checking and found the
source of the bottleneck... its caused by ALL of the FFXI players trying to log on via POL and other means WE are causing the problem the servers
are being essentialy pinged to death by ALL of us trying to log on at once
so basicly this is just a heads up letting you all know what I found.
If you want to help stop trying to log on every 30 seconds..
let them work and for gods sake pass the message on to other people
mabey if all servers stop trying for a while we will all be online sooner

o rly?

Everybody knew this already.

If your a Computer Science major, than you must know what the enter key does.

i always figured that was the problem-pretty common sense really

 

[Ugotjacked]

I doubt everyone knows this I still think its a good idea to bring this topic up.

You know none of us are going to wait when the servers come back up though lol.

 

[Sphene]

yes I know, Ill be getting online as soon as I can
but I am not going to add to the problem

PS sorry for the fast hurried post no need to flame me /cry

Way to be a dick to someone who is obviously only trying to help.

Stop being so rude and dumbasses to people that are only trying to help.

Thanks for the info Sphene ^_^ I know you ;o and you know me lol <.<;; See you in the game later lol

ha! it's so well planned... the NA's are all tryna log in at once... lets put another maint in and push the time back outside of NA hours (also giving our favoured JP clientell the HNM's on their own hours).... dastardly

 

[Sphene]

well I hate to burst your bubble... but in case you werent paying
attention... SE IS A JAPANESE COMPANY!
the JP players are the ones that made SE into a company we all
know and respect.. it would stand to reason they would take
care of the men and women that made them who they are
before they get to us, thats not only common sense but that is
good busines sense. just my two cents dont start ranting at me.

Hmmmm, Comp Sci major. Here's a dumb question for you. Can I upgrade from Celeron to Pentium 4 without changing Motherboards? *Fears answer*

 

[Sphene]

/no
well it could be done but it would cost you an arm and a leg
and probobly your first born child if you get a new board and
have money to burn get one of the fancy shmancy dual
video card boards that are made and rated to take 2
Nvidia 6800 GT cards ^_^ and then leme play with it >.>

Oh yea, because intent is meaningless. We should all be total dipshits to anyone who has good intents if they don't deliver us a earth shaking news.

Figures. I look at the "Post your desktop" thread, and everyone has cool shit on theirs. My PC sucks, I fail.

Maybe if I get bored enough I'll go to the Alienware web-site O_O
