I'm telling you it's some absolute retard on a FIOS connection running bogus MQ2 scripts. Why has it taken so long to figure out the IP address of the person that is involuntarily dos'ing the server? How hard can it be???

Whoever it is needs to get banned even if it isn't intentional.

Glad I found this post, I almost created a new thread on the topic. Sucks to hear you guys are having issues Cavedude.

For the moment folks, I have been playing on the 4x exp/vendor epic/armor server. It certainly isn't PEQ, but it's a fun way to pass the time while I wait for peq to come back up. =)

It would have to be a seriously bad or intentionally written script to cause that much upstream traffic.

If you can get the IP, I assume you can get link that to someone who is logged in.

I can tell ya there's some people who just shouldn't be writing their own scripts after the countless MQ help for simple things I've given, so I could certainly see someones script being bad.

Either way, I look forward to the servers return.

Would be nice to have the PEQ forums back up in the meantime though.

We don't have a login server, this is EQEmu's

Hey CaveDude did anything ever come about making a 2nd copy of the server to run on emergencies like this? At your house or somewhere , wherever

I really can't imagine what you'd do in a macro/script that would cause such a spike in traffic. I hope it doesn't turn out to be MQ2 related because I'm addicted to a better /follow then the default one for boxing. (How many of my toons just fell off a cliff? /sigh)

Doesn't sound realistic enough. Is it legit?

whats the xp rate on this "server" I cleaned an apartment on their all day and didnt level once... I think its broken

It's a custom server, apartment cleaning is an alternate advancement. Applies to Character Building only.
