It's not just FIOS. I was talking to someone that had a 10Mb/50Mb with Cox. /drool There are quite a few high-bandwidth services available these days. At any rate, I sure hope it's up by this weekend.

I've been getting actual work done since the server has been down. My wife would say this is a good thing, but I say Play on!!

It just blows my mind that nobody is able to track down the IP of the guy after all this time. It's been going on for weeks. It probably can't be tracked by the provider and needs to be measured on the PEQ server so I doubt the ISP will be able to tell you anything.

It's so easy to monitor the bandwith and ban the IP that this story just makes no sense to me.

You're forgetting that people are doing this in their free time (CD set out this week(end) for monitoring bandwidth usage, or was that last week?)

Well this downtime has reawakened my desire to learn how to create and manage a private server. I don't intend to replace any of the very popular servers nor could I. It's just something that I need to do for myself. Plus attending 500 person strong LANs might help with testing of it.

Nor'Easter here I come.

So what server is the most stable & most similar to PEQ to dick around on while it's down? Are there any real contenders?

Well just for a speedy enjoyment, and the obvious curiosity, I remade my WAR, BRD, and MNK so far on the Raid Addicts svr right there in the "Preferred" catagory. You start out on some custom island with your Epic 1.0 in hand and a few gems for quick plat on the customized NPC merchants. Alot of the good ole favs are able to be purchased from them after you make a little plat. There is also a nervous mother looking for her child on dock who gives your pair of JBoots for finding him. And finally, you CAN play a melee class or what have you w/out needing buff bots tagging behind as you can purchase for free lots of potions of haste, c heals, quick heals, clarity, hp buffs, etc. If you dont think you will be making 85+ and raiding with all the ppl there, it is still a neat setup for lvling quick to 20 then you can always delete it.

That sounds awful, where's PEQ.
