Peq Needs Reboot - Page 2

Darn, and I had just gotten a little bit of plat too

But I really really really appreciate all the folks that spend their spare time doing maintenance and all the work to keep this server up. I missed playing EverQuest, and now I get to have it back again. That, in itself, is awesome!

And I know you only hear from all of us when something is wrong (which I suppose is analogous to biting the hand that feeds you O_O) so I wanted to take the opportunity to put in my thanks!

So thank you!

Agreed. Personally, I'm sick of the "hey guys let's make a hub zone, let's place all the teleporters to every zone, add a bunch of tier gear, and make custom raid encounters" stuff. Because that's what is available to the public atm other than PEQ. (well, besides V/T Zek)

I would agree if there were enough players to fully populate them. I've only picked EQ back up on PEQ since last Saturday, but I never saw more than 300-some people online. Having 2 good servers would split that population in half. In the case of an outage like this, it would be nice to have, but we really would need more players to necessitate a second server like PEQ.

So anyway... was reeeeeally hoping this would get fixed by tonight. :P

...is this why www.projecteq.net is down/unreachable?

e.g. further details on the nature of the supposed attacks, when negotiations with the host to bring the server back up will start, etc.

Are there any network traces or logs to analyze? Does the eqemu engine log much of anything?

EQ was obviously built on top of IRC; it might have some vulnerability to generic IRC attacks, or normal traffic for EQ might show up as IRC attacks to some intrusion detection tool. (e.g. false positives).

Wow, that sucks. I just caught up on the thread. I hope you cats get this figured out soon!

Why does nobody know anything. The host can't help with this problem, all he see's is "incoming spam attack from PEQ". Is there some kind of plan like installing bandwith monitoring software and trying to get the host to reconnect then actually banning the IP responsible this time or is the guy running the server on vacation or what? If nobody has time to do this stuff I'm sure many people are willing to volunteer.

This is madness

The situation has already been explained. We will know more from FnW when he's back from his business trip and is able to talk with the hosting company in more detail.
