Prolong w12 to make up for the downtime due to the DDOS

Post by AlfredoGaming33 »

If the DDOS attacks persist and the game remains laggy and unplayable please consider making w12 last a bit longer to make up for the downtime, thanks.

We're strongly consider the "hird of virtual servers" outlined above. It's not trivial to implement fully, though, so it's more of a future project for now, but it's on the table. I also have a few ideas for more short-term countermeasures that I could potentially try if it were to happen again.

I'm afraid that worlds don't work like that.
New world comes when new world is due (due to reset-requiring updates to the game for example) and duration of the previous world has no effect on that.

Merged posts with the "Server status thread" discussion.

FWIW, shubla has your answer on this. World resets are inconsistent at best. Worlds average over 10 months over the life of Haven. A few have exceeded two years each, and a few have lasted less than six months each.

So that's what a DDOS look like in the game ... Hm, could be worse, no connection at all. (or a bad hard-drive again ;) )

Get use to it ... makes enjoining the game so much better when its over again. (of just wait it out if you can't stand it)
And think of the person responsible as one of those pitiful Trump misfits that just don't know any better.

(If there would not be so many licking the ass of those kind of individuals, they might not be able to do so much damage. (Climate, Plastic, Covid rampage, ... Going to be fun to see whats next)

Its really simple actually, but I imagine its way beyond the comprehension of some.
