#426

We can say bye to that pet skin if this keep happening

#427

No you dont. There are small moments when 1 or 2 servers dont become full. Just keep refreshing till this happens. Then claim your stuff when you’re in. I already got my pet skin.

they gonna fix this or what
havent got to play all weekend

#433

They won’t they’re off they will probably fix on monday

Well, ROTMG is currently in a fix with all its servers getting flooded by bots. Well, the fact that this isn’t a DDOS attack or anything attacking the site itself, only attacking the game, DECA can fix this and prevent it from happening again. How?

  • Prevent anybody below a certain star rank from accessing the game

Since there are enough bots to fill so many servers, it is reasonable to expect that these are probably 0 star characters, throwaways, so even enforcing a star rank requirement of 2* is enough to block most of these bots out.

  • Enforce stricter email rules

Basically, prevent the creation of accounts with emails that have already been used, period. That means all that emai.l@email.com and accounts like this cannot be created. This will slow down the production of bots and make it easier to ban all of them.

The next one, related to the solution above:

  • Mass ban bots by email

Chances are, these bots are created with similar emails, like emai.l@email.com and emai..l@email.com, so some simple software that will take several minutes to write will be able to find all of these.

And as a final word to DECA, employees should work on weekends. The next Monday, release a hotfix that inputs a system that allows you to prevent certain star levels from accessing the game while you get this under control and restart the servers. This will prevent attacks of the same type from happening again. And do add back the days that were lost in this “server full” mayhem so that players get a few days to catch up on their campaign. Someone help ping the DECA admins

I also thought the star requirement servers too, someone suggested captcha but I think it’ll be easier for everyone if it was like dark blue or red star+ servers

#436

So no new players?
or are you suggesting this as a temporary fix until deca fixes this?

#437

So no new players…? And it’s only a little more work to create bots above level 0 anyway.

There are other ways to generate email accounts en masse, and many of those emails with “dots” are mules. You can’t just blanket ban all of them.

You mean they should always have someone on call?

#438

Yes, temporary fix.

#439

These people still have lives outside of the game so to expect them to work on weekends not a solution.

#440

Its temporary until other things are implemented.

Not ban, persay, but prevent the creation of any new ones. Banning happens when one gets banned, the others get banned by dot emails.

By that, I mean employees should survey the realm, be making changes on the weekends so the can release on the weekdays, and monitor and regulate.

And, @Samcw, please read my posts more carefully before making such comments.

gud stoof

but everything else is decent, but you could also add a captcha to the login screen, which wouldn’t kill botting, but would hinder them for a bit atleast.
