The forums just went down for ~10 mins or so, just making sure Admins are aware/someone can look at the server logs and figure out what went wrong.

Thanks LustCaptain Lust said:Sorry to everyone for the inconvenience, we are still investigating the issue and trying to resume normal funcionality on all our services.
It is possible we have suffered an attack. In any case, avoiding a repeat of this is a top priority for us and we'll be looking at ways to avoid and minimise downtime as a result. This was not planned. We will always give due notice for any planned downtime.
Not really helpful in a DDoS attack against multiple servers, as this appears to have been. There are however other preventative measures available which hopefully we'll get in place soon.Ra'Jiska said:Ah lala...
Why not taking a backup server ?
I remember having see a server that redirects every connections from one server to another if he's not reachable, i.e:
warbandmain.taleworlds.com = Alive -> Redirect to warbandmain.taleworlds.com (192.0.0.1).
warbandmain.taleworlds.com = Unreachable -> Redirect to warbandmain.taleworlds.com (192.0.0.2).
I believe it'd be quite helpful in these kind of cases and wouldn't be an expensinve service to get.

Janus said:Yep, the attack appears to be continuing. The forum is currently back up, but there's no telling whether it will stay up in the short run or keep going back down.
The devs are working on preventative measures now.
You can check here next time.Epicrules said:Swadius 2.0 said:Thought I was banned .
I thought that as well, until I asked another forum user on steam. Was really concerned for a moment there.
