News What is going on these days?

The past few days that have gone by have been very difficult for all of us. Most of you are aware that we were attacked, multiple times, causing the server to unexpectedly shut down, many people freaked out thinking it was the end of Lawless Roleplay but I am here today to tell those people, you are wrong.

We don't give up that easily. Since the start of the attacks, I have stayed awake overnight trying to block the distributed denial of service attacks. I want you all to know that we will do whatever it costs to bring the community back online in dark times like this, even if that means we stay awake all night trying to figure this out.

So I would like to thank everyone for their patience, trust, loyalty and most importantly support. With the help of the community, we have been able to recover from countless attacks against this community. This isn’t the first time we’ve been attacked and will certainly not be the last time we will be attacked but I want you to know I am here for you all.

Between 12:30am and 4am server time on Thursday, September 8, we plan to upgrade the server to an updated version of Xen/Linux. We expect for this process to cause approximately 30-60 minutes of downtime.

Because of this downtime and past downtimes, I am enabling Double XP this weekend as a goodwill gesture to the community and as an apology for allowing such downtime.

Yes! You have read it right! We are activating DOUBLE EXP for the following weekend!

If he had a dependable admin team they would update us, however they are low on staff and dealing with a ton of unexpected problems at once. One solution at a time bud, he's talking to server hosts and looking for better protection for the server and that prioritizes over talking about the problems. Be patient and expect it to be fixed ASAP.

The combination of the current admin team, the lack of updates in the past, the community itself and now the DDOS despite the "fancy anti-ddos shit" Barney bought I'm not so optimistic anymore.

Ye? Well on top of all the stuff you stated my 3020 playing hours account with 200$ worth of donation stuff just got deleted. This has nothing to do with being optimistic. Unlike the updates that were never announced, Barney announced that he will fix it this problem and he has not given you a reason to not believe him.

@Barney

When it started I was like "just 1 day" but this shit keeps coming. In 2013 you posted a thread to thank the donators and you said you used the money to buy some fancy server shit to overcome these DDOS attacks.

These attacks make the server almost unplayable most of the times. Could you at least tell us what you are doing to fix it and when you expect stuff to get back to normal?

Hi Mado,

We are working closely with our network hosts to filter out these attacks - you should already see some improvement. We have pinpointed the exact booter website (service used to attack our server) being used and are in communication with them and local law enforcement to identify the attacker.
