Every Server is Full [Seems Fixed Now]


#442

I apologize for failing to read your mind:

Where did your post say that it’s temporary?

My point still stands. It’s too easy to circumvent any such measures. To take it to the extreme, anyone can set up a new email server in minutes and create unlimited amount of emails.

So you want them to work every day…?


#443

The second point, @Samcw, where I said

I never said banning accounts with dots by itself.


#444

This relies entirely on the current situation being caused by someone using many accounts to do so. If the person holding the servers hostage is not actually creating accounts to do so (for example, if they are just spoofing many connections such that the servers are treating them as legitimate connections from an actual account, this would not require the attacker to actually create any accounts; some people have suspected this is the case), then nothing actually limiting account creation would prevent this.

Also, at least one Deca employee is working over the weekend to try and combat this… and I assume that’s not the norm for them.
It’s very normal for employees to work weekdays and have the weekends off and I have no clue why people are wanting Deca to work literally 7 days a week (there is a compromise by just having people take 2 weekdays off instead of the weekend, so that they can work over the weekend, and I think that would be a good solution if needed, but I’ve literally seen people asking why Deca doesn’t work the entire week…). If I graduated with my degree and my job made me work 7 days a week, that’s a resignation letter from me (plus, at least where I live, I don’t even think that’s legal without providing OT pay)

I wonder how many mules you’ll also end up stopping too?
Not hard to fame train a few extra stars either.

This is already a thing.

No, chances are is that the bots are using a randomly generated string of numbers and letters to make emails, so it’ll look more like 871jsvehyd81bsbs@gmail.com.

I merged a couple of other topics created about this onto here since it was only a temporary topic lock to let people cool down.


Don’t know if he’s sleeping or what, but get in while the getting’s good! That login calendar won’t claim itself.


#448

Bert’s stream stopped rather suddenly, I wonder if something happened to him…


#449

RWTer on reddit claims they gave the guy 128 decas to lay off a while


#450

He already is guilty of multiple instances of botting.

It’s like if someone was accused of serial robberies

We all know you’re just a troll though, idk why you haven’t been banned


#451

whats that discord?


#452

Called it


#453

Lol rwt website saves the day! By giving him 128 decas…


#454

not to mention it’s a small team and I bet they know what is happening and is trying to figure out how to fix it.


#455

He streamed nsfw pornography on his stream on accident browsing through discord, his twitch account was banned because people clipped it and reported him.


#456

the second twitch account, I mean


#458

I saw a pikachu face and then got mad cause it wasn’t candyshi


#459

A simple “We are aware of the problem and are working on the solution, sorry for the inconvenience” instead of complete silence from Deca team would have at least shown that they care and respect their players, instead of leaving people guessing when will it be fixed, and if it will be fixed at all. Also given that it happened during the weekend, and most people assumed that the game will be most likely down till Monday.

#461

Is there any kind of pornography that’s NOT nsfw? Seems redundant.


#462

I am sorry that you feel that way, but I don’t need constant pandering too, to know that Deca cares and respects their players. I personally find their actions over the past few years more telling than a few empty words as an announcement. If their lack of actions over this, truly represent what you describe as apathy for the playerbase, what would they gain from not respecting their players?

As for assuming that the game will be down, so be it. Some people assume things. Others try to login or, check online forums. Deca is not responsible for the attack, they do not gain from it, nor do they wish to bring grievance to their playerbase. In my worldview, an announcement would bring more harm than good, and in your perspective, it’s the opposite.

It’s Monday now, and the issue is resolved. The average daily players are quite normal for a monday night, bert is taken care of, and behind the scenes, Deca is still busy programming and operating.

I understand that an update would have been nice to see, but it would serve no one, truly. I didn’t need an official post from Deca telling me that the servers were being attacked, I could deduce it, and faster, with the online forums made available to me. Eventually, I logged in, and it was fixed. This wasn’t a swatsec incident. The current game company didn’t need to make an official reply like years’ past.

Alas, this is an issue of opinion. Yours, more popular than mine. Perhaps by general opinion then I am in the wrong. But I’m going to hold onto my ideals.

EDIT: They made an official announcement on the matter, after the fact.
