Some people just don't have a life.. This is disappointing...

It sucks but this type of activity has been going on for years off an on, and it's not just in Renegade. Although Renegade seems to be much more suceptible with its aging code and reliance on a very non-robust xwis service.
 
We will outlast the little cowards that hide behind their keyboards thinkng they are so bad ass. Dont let this stuff discourage you, we will get through it, over it, around it etc. Typically the losers that do this crap are leading self descructive lives and eventually shit does catch up with them. What goes around comes around bitches!
 
(sorry for the cussing )
 
Have fun everyone!

The worst part, it is probably a bot programmed to attack XWIS, nobody is DDOS attacking manual these days, humans have to sleep sometimes...

Some people just don't have a life.. This is disappointing...

For the last 7 or so days some(ones) have been attacking the XWIS server and the MPF game-server and IRC.
Them hitting XWIS has put alot of servers out of business of players a couple of times now.
It is not just MPF that is suffering from this attack, also Jelly and RenCorner for example.
We are hosting our server on GameSpy at the moment instead of Westwood Online (XWIS).
GameSpy seems to be fairly stable but a lot of players connect through XWIS so quite a bit of players are unable to play Renegade at the moment which results in lower player counts
It looks like these attacks are not likely to stop any time soon knowing they have been going on for over a week now.
Olaf (XWIS) can't do much about a DDoS of this severity and neither can we. We can all only wait and be very patient waiting for the attacks to subside so we can finally play Renegade normal again.
I hope they will stop their attacks soon
Please, i know it is annoying, just keep re-joining the server when it is attacked again.
If we stop playing: They win.
Sorry for the invonveniece, and please do have fun in our servers as much as possible
EDIT: Of course you can use RenList (GSA) to join the server: Download Now

Excellent fund raiser idea BigJimer (a.k.a. 'gonna beat your ass')  LOL.  I already have a Logitech headset, but I donated anyway because this Community is awesome!  If I win the drawing, I will donate the prize back to the Admin to determine who they would like to reward it to.    Community Pride!

Report it so we can review the issue and solve it asap

Nice.
 
Not sure why Bubbles quoted that.

p.s. If possible I would like all winners to post a pic of yourself with the prize you have won for all to see!

Beginning next month I am going to start a prize raffle, and here's how it will work:
 
1. To enter the drawing you will have to make a donation to this server.
 
2. You will be awarded 1 entry for every dollar you donate. (so $20.00 will be equal to 20 prize entries and so on).
 
3. I will be paying for the prize myself, so no money will be taken from the server to pay for it.
 
4. The drawing will be for everybody including staff.
 
5. The drawing will be held live on oovoo for any who wish to view it.  download for oovoo,  http://www.oovoo.com/download.aspx
 
6. To collect your prize if you are the winner you will have to p.m. me with your mailing address.
 
Depending on how well this raffle goes will determine how often it is done. If there is enough participation it will be held every month, if not then entries will
 
be collected and entered for a drawing held every 3 months. You can make donations to our server using paypal. I know there are many places that sell
 
money cards like Wal-Mart and so on. Only takes a minute to put $5.00 on it and send it to us here in the forums. I will not be choosing any lame ass prizes,
 
just so you know. The first prize that I have chosen will be a logitech wireless headset http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=828768&is=REG&Q=&A=details
 
This is the list of donation entries for this drawing so far: http://multiplayerforums.com/index.php?/donate/goal-5-mpf-server-payments-march/
 
So tell your friends and get everybody involved, I know it will be a fun time.  
 
Thank You!

Too old in russia lol

All updates and service packs were installed successfully, server will be back online shortly.

Service pack 2 and some 77+ updates are being installed on the serverpc right now.
Newmaps will be down until this has been completed, shouldnt be longer than a half hour to an hour tops.

Congratulations Erik2012! LoL, too bad we dont have a prize for this
The first 50th player joined tonight

For the last couple of weeks some stuff has been happening behind the scenes mostly that our Admins weren't all to happy about.
We decided to move our websites and servers to a new location hopefully for the last time in a long time to come.
Some posts that were made last night are probably lost and some things might not work immediately yet, we are looking into fixing the final dots on the i's asap.
 
Sorry for any inconvenience,
 
I am closing this topic as i don't want to elaborate any further on this, it has been dealt with behind the scenes.
 
Thanks.
 
Enjoy your stay here.
PS: The server NICKNAME on XWIS is now "newmaps" with the title "UltraAOW.com NewMaps 4.0".
The IP is 69.162.64.90:1337 and the Rankings are fully functional again.
