No problem

5-10 Sek. sind ja noch beschönigt. sind auch gerne mal 15-20 sekunden. richtig nervig.

Bitte kümmern & abstellen. Vielen Dank

I've notified the team of this and we're working on a solution ASAP.

Aparently all is workig correctly on the server... I currenrly dont think there is any lag.

This could of been because of multiple reasons (server maintanence, spike in trafic, attack on server,etc)

@RaVenC will be notified to find out exactly what happened, just in case.

1. Thanks for reporting
   

I've spoke with RaVenC and he said he's worked on it and now it should be resolved.

Is it a bit better now?

Since 01.03. the server has increased incoming traffic.
Normal daily incoming traffic was around 300 MB .. At the moment there's incoming traffic with around 3GB.
So somebody / something is sending 2.7 GB more traffic each day to the server as usual.

Cant you track down the ID, or atleast IP of packets so you can estimate who and how?

Naja wieder sehr schlecht.

Well again very bad.

Everything should work now again smooth
It was a bot which tried to bruteforce the password of a player. Banning the IP Address of this bot resulted in new attemps with a new IP Address..
So I've implemented a mechanism that will automatically ban IP Addresses when there are multiple failed login attemps with one IP address within one hour.

This number was set high enough that no player should be IP banned, but low enough to ban the current bot IP within 1 sec.

The stiddari player who was attacked will receive a ingame mail within the next minutes.

Haha bruteforce the pass, well that would take anyways a long time

Well had been going on for over 7 days and still wasnt lucky.

Server speed,network, his PC...depends how complex the actual pass is, it could take a few months if the pass is easy to a couple of years, even more

Around 100 IP addresses are banned so far. Numbers are growing slightly.
The server itself looks healthy at the moment.

So he is still trying, or the bot is configured to try He will need to reconfigure it.

It's over since some minutes.
Maybe all IPs are banned

Why dont you add capcha? At random times during gameplay, or when we log in, also seems you didnt fix the cookie and catche corrupt, i need atleast once a day clear cookis and catche for universe to be able to login
