MattScott 15242 Posted March 30, 2019 Hi all, This is frustrating. We have had an ongoing issue on Jericho with persistent DDoS attacks. I have spoken about this a little, but the issue is basically a form of attack that we had no defense for, and the attackers have been relentless over the last couple months exploiting the issue. We have been working with our ISP to design a new solution, we pushed hard to get the new solution working on Wednesday, but there was a problem and they couldn't finish. Today's attacks have been particularly bad. I apologize to all the players getting bumped. We are working on the issue. Sorry, Matt UPDATE 4/2: Effective this morning we have completed Phase 1 of adding new DDoS protection for Jericho. There will be another update in about a month, but we should see significant improvement in the amount of downtime. 19 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kvze 3 Posted March 30, 2019 Keep it up fellas, you got this. If people get upset with you guys over not being able to have apb up for a day then they should probably relax with being so involved, and let the new owners deal with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acornie 490 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Yeet these DDoSers into the sun pls, thnx This isn't even just about servers at this point, I feel personally attacked/offended as a Jericho resident #Jerichobestdont@me Edited March 30, 2019 by Acornie 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IROCkiller 210 Posted March 30, 2019 Jeez, someone really has it out for Little Orbit. Hope you can stop the attacks sometime soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarlet 35 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) wow and its the weekend! haven't played APB for a while came back had time to play and it gets DDOS again! the same thing happened like months ago when I activated my 15 day premium code! (wasted my premium) So weird everytime I come back the server just gets DDOS? and why does it always happen to jericho? I never played a game where the server just gets DDOS every time..

Yoss 31 Posted March 30, 2019 @Scarlet it isn't because you came back. It's been hit consistently for months now. This is just a one off larger attack is really it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vulfski 0 Posted March 30, 2019 I lost several days of premium due to these attacks over the past few weeks, I wish people would just leave this game alone.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xHenryman90x 129 Posted March 30, 2019 Why would anybody do something like this now? I mean it was understandable back when G1/RP was involved and they certainly made people mad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Semos 4 Posted March 30, 2019 They do this because they didn't get their way, and would rather see the game fail than anyone else get enjoyment out of it at all. Have to give props to Little Orbit for coming out and making the first post to this thread tho. They're acknowledging the problem (which prior companies ignored) and are working towards a solution. Just seeing this effort gives me some hope for the future of APB. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

demonoid 16 Posted March 31, 2019 Well I hope you guys find a solution eventually. I'll finally be able to play again here soon, but all I ever see here on the forums are tons of topics about these attacks. Jericho/Colby always seems to have bore the brunt of these attacks oddly enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bloo 43 Posted March 31, 2019 Anyone else still having problems with Jericho? I can login and choose a character but won't connect to any districts, just get stuck in loading screen. I can connect to citadel fine with zero troubles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My friends can login and join district fine but i'm having the issue not being able to connect. I get an error of disconnect from world wide server. Under it is another one that says your client/server or something conflict not matching up something like that. I played earlier on EU server when NA server was down. EU server is still working for mi. I don't know why this is not working. Edited March 31, 2019 by LovelyJasmine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
