APB Network Update

[MattScott 15286]

Hi everyone,

I want to let everyone know that we are aware of how awful the EU networking has been.
For the last week, our primary network provider has been getting hammered into the ground by very large (1.5T) DDoS attacks.
They aren't the only ones. Most of Europe and other regions have also been hit with these large scale packet floods, and it has affected a lot of sites.

While Little Orbit has Anti DDoS protection that we route all of our game traffic through.
But currently if our primary network provider's network gets saturated with attacks, then we still go offline.

I am finalizing a new upstream provider with much larger capacity, better routes throughout Europe, and end to end Anti DDoS protection.
I am hoping that we can get this new solution in place over the coming days to help stabilize the game.

Thanks for bearing with us,
Matt

Dear APB:R players, I sincerely apologize for shatting onto GamersFirst server network router. We promise to resolve this issue soon.
In the meantime, please consider purchasing G1C packs so we can afford a brand new MikroTik router from eBay.

Thanks for bearing with us.

Did I miss the anniversary event or did it not even start yet?

didnt we already have this problem recently this year? where you changed all server providers? And now these new ones are shit again! 
Like how do you even keep finding those poor companies and providers which keep falling like leaves. 
Choose 1 normal well known european provider...stop choosing unknown ones which keeps getting crashed with bs ddos.

@MattScott I think the threat from the hacker they mentioned, who wants to destroy APB Reloaded, probably isn’t letting them rest
