What is happening with this realm ... whats up with all theese ddos, and lag and disconnection .. and why on top of that increase the god damn server cap so it can lag more ? What can keep me motivated to play and donate .. and not give a birth of fear that tommorow server wont stand the pressue and go offline forever, why do we waste our time and invest in something that is frague and unsecured .. why no work on lag problem and ddos problem and envy blackhats but in increasing cap to 8k 9k 10k you dont own empire state building of servers nor 24/7 standing army of sys admins .. you are not blizzard you cant accept the whole world.. my advice is make it secure and stable for thouse 8 k players and get rid of blackhats and lag put up some kind of shell and than once you are rock solid - be heart touching, increasing the cap ..
Actually, the server is going really good. It had 24 + hours of uptime before being restarted for fixes and it crashed 1 minute after as a result of a fix which was also hotfixed immediately after.
Unfortunately, DDOS is something we can only protect ourselves from and we have top notch protection so I can't really tell you anything about that.
You can pretty much see what we're doing here, we're applying performance updates every single day and it's just getting better and better. Having a more stable server is our goal and with that we can implement various things that wouldn't work on a weaker server overall.
