PsychoTaz Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 All this money they get from monthly subs, micro-transactions from all their fashion, items, etc, and NCSoft, you mean to tell us you can't afford a proper DDoS protection or Hot Swap servers to keep the servers running smoothly? LOL what do we pay you for then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokusan Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Most sensible compensation would be to just extend the midnight madness event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunark Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Not their fault here, it's a massive DDOS attack hitting multiple games from what I hear, Guild Wars 2, TERA, L2, Aion, and probably more.

892228_1452550581 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 @PsychoTazevery company has their own measures for ddos attacks, but even with them in place hackers can get around it. Even the 2 gaming console giant microsoft and sony has been taken out by a ddos attack over the years, security is far behind hacking just about microsoft is about to roll out a security update for windows 10, hackers will already have found their way around it, dont believe it? learn the basics of how to ddos with your personal computer and how to find ip adresses and try to take ncsoft offline, youre not going to be able to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoTaz Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Different games yes, but the same back end data-center, main servers go down, they all go down, separate game or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDoS protection is billed / built on the basis of how much traffic can you handle simultaneous before your servers freeze up. Some Corporations, at least the ones I have seen in big government, can handle hundred of gigs of traffic or more before going down. I'm hoping to graduate into a career in the NSA, so something like this is a big part of my study, sadly just not on a public level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood, but I have no reason to deceive anyone, after all I don't know anyone here and telling anyone what I study doesn't do me any good other then showing the knowledge we learn in our studies. If people have to make up stories about whether they are in school and for what, then they are sad sad souls. Yet like you said it is the internet and some people like the attention I guess, usually identitied by those that have 900+ posts however :) My next class is in January, I guess I could always post my transcripts here once class starts up again?

Farica Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Yes, but these servers had just had weekly maintenance why all the DC's and server crashes now? I love this game and have stuck with it with 3 accounts and 26 characters. Why are we feeling all of this now? I hope NCSOFT does something to correct this issue. Soha Server is DOWN.

Jackiesaysya Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 me every update ever- "Maybe next update they will fix the terrible server issues."

These damn server man. >_< few colleges do have courses that focus on IA/CD NSA based degree's, and they even hire directly from those schools because of it, it's just very few schools have those degree's or opportunities making such schools to pursue a masters or higher very expensive. My school has that degree, and I hate to think what it's going to cost when it's all said and done tbh. But the end result justifies the means. I have no problem with his post, again just sharing info. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I'm just bored as well, come home at 8 o clock and my unwind time is constantly down (the game). Just passing time, I don't usually post on forum's but hey there is a first for everything I guess right? The part that sucks is the busier my life gets the less time I have for these games, which just sucks all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
