DDoS Attack - 2013/12/30 (ended)

[Gatysh]

There's no evidence he's doing this.

Him getting banned from Steam would just make him angrier, anyway.

I think we should just get him taken out of the anti-cheat squad at the most, the risk of him getting angrier is lower there but still present.

what a jerk

Just because he thinks the game is stupid.

I thought you guys said Blockland was down. The server list is completely normal full of players right now...

It's not down and you can get online - but most of the servers you will not be able to connect to or connect very slowly

If you keep getting the manifest error you can download and resinstall blockland again from the main portal site and your game will load. Don't except things to be even half functional though.

What are you talking about it is down

So, let him be mad.
I mean

There's no evidence he's doing this.

so we have nothing to worry about.

Well, the moment has passed. RUN D:!

[Cromedome]

Yes. Typed master2.blockland.us and it came up, so I launched the game, didn't get the launcher error and it authenticated fine when it opened.

Jesus christ, he just found a fix to the error, if you open that up in your browser and start the launcher it authenticates.

I see no evidence of this.
I put all of my blockland files into a new folder and tried to launch bl and got the same error.

holy stuff
you fixed it

[Gatysh]

If it was actually legit than this is an actual breach of Federal Law and a violaton of his Terms of Use Policy for his ISP

Apparently the stuff is botnet-based rather than vpn based, so the only thing taken down by his ISP, theoretically, is the CnC server that could give the stop command (or it could bring it all down without the CnC server active, who knows)

this will work if you wish to refresh your serverlist

I got on no problem and never had a manifest error. I'm currently playing at Kong's deathrace and there's 20 people here. There's also 50 people at Barnabas' server.

Have you closed/re-opened your blockland recently?

Barnbas' server has fake IDs.

Barnbas' server has fake IDs.

what exactly is that going to do with gameplay
