Am I really the only one calling ******** here? I find it highly unlikely that somebody has been ddosing Jagex for the past ten months. The frequency and length that it has been happening makes it seem far more likely that Jagex just has crap servers. Also things like the BoL and rebuildathon are only further proof. Yup, you are. The rest of us are calling bs on your bs. If you find such things so unlikely, you must have been living with all forms of media non-existent in your vicinity if you think that this sort of thing doesn't happen on a regular basis to hundreds of companies, not just JaGeX, that have set up on the internet. It is exactly the frequency and length that are the hallmark of such immature attackers. And since JaGeX states that they are working with policing authorities, I find it highly unlikely that they would get much help from that quarter if it were ''just crappy servers''. Yep famous anime torrent site BakaBT had a single idiot repeatedly DDoSing them for months on end a year or two back and repeatedly took the website down for the 500k or so people that use it just because his account got locked because he didn't follow the rules. This was one guy, Jagex has thousands of struggling gold farmers POed at them just imagine the hell they must be going through right now.

But jagex, the funny thing is, this whole new "degrading and death" seems to allow them to get an even greater upper hand.

It amplifies will to stray away from bossing. DDOS'ing + Deg&Death = bad future for runescape.

So while you may not be able to stop them just yet, can you consider not making our hard work go down the drain on death?

Guess those DDoS attacks mysteriously happen with the release of new game updates. And magically stop when patches are released.

Are you sure it's DDoS attacks, and not something else - like bad game designers?

From the looks of the lumby rebuildathon - I'd put my money on bad game designers.

God, doesnt anyone seem to call Bs on this? seems like everyone is kissing up to jagex.
If a company can't keep some severs up i find that illogical that a couple of guys could ddos a whole company, a company that should have the wealth to maintain some decent severs.
More RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE from the lacking-reading-and-comprehension-skills department.

Lookie here, a jagex fanboy.

edit:
@Je5us
either your ignorant or just not very smart.

If jagex has millions of dollars from membership and SOF/SGS AND has over 100+ severs, THEY SHOULD be able to run some severs, if not they should remove some.
Look right now, about 200-300 on each sever. Easy way to prevent DDoS'ers just delete some severs or with the resources, get a special team dedicated to maintaing the severs.

Jagex is no CIA or Apple, so i have little sympathy for them scaring off their customers, in essence i believe who ever is attacking jagex is doing some good, maybe jagex will wake up and start spending money on game stability.

Thank you very much for making this thread, I've seen a high rate of people making threads about how they're lagging constantly and disconnecting. This thread is very helpful and should inform everyone on what's going on and hopefully stop people from constantly complaining (which is understandable), but very good you made this thread for everyone to read.

Love it, hissy fits from leeches and cheats. More ddos means more sad losers, who think they can't be traced.

Yes, for those who don't know - DDoS attacks are against the law, especially against a huge company such as Jagex. Hopefully the people that are doing this knock it off very soon or it will end very badly for them.
