When will the server crashes end?

[Redcap]

Bring the pop limit down and put a queue in place.

When servers do something like this, players will log in, park their character somewhere out of the way, and then go AFK to remain logged into the game so they don't have to deal with the queue again. Smart keyboards or mice can do simple tasks to keep your character active so that it's not actually AFK. So, that ain't going to solve the problem.

This is getting fucking absurd... This is like the 5th DC in the last hour.

goddamnit fucking peenix ddosing us
anybody got a good sized botnet to bring their servers down? if so use it

[azreal313]

Aaand another DC within 3 minutes of the last one, jesus christ.

This is a single server hosting 2k+ players at one time, to think that it will be without issues is naive. Blizzard servers can't even handle those kinds of numbers.

Irrelevant.

Nost admins made the choice to increase their server pop levels, and they did so knowing that it could lead to instability. While I'll admit freely that no one could have predicted the population level we're seeing here, it is still not, in my opinion, reason enough to allow enough people on your server to make it unstable. Bring the pop limit down and put a queue in place.

How is that irrelevant? It's a very real issue with private servers and online games in general. In order to fix that, the game would have to be remade from the ground up. Just because you say a point is irrelevant, doesn't make it any less valid.

There are 2 possible reasons for the DC's and soulutions for both
1.) Peenix or Kronos DDOS(if so we need to DDOS them back)
2.) GRIZZLY exploiting in MC and causing a bug which makes server crash, maybe theres a reason they arnt streaming? ever though of that?(if so we need to ban them)

1) nope, pointless to waste time/money on DDOS.

1) nope, pointless to waste time/money on DDOS.

read above post, if somebody has access to a large botnet now would be a good time to use it

I would also like a GM's input on this thread.

2 DCs in 20-30 minutes is ridiculous, and this is with 3500-4000 people. I saw less DCs when there were 5000-6000 people.
