[Resolved] DDoS Attacks June 8th and following

    Why not just freeze all servers until this is fixed? This has been going on for 24 hours by now. So much lost, both on bbash and com3. Ops failed, villages demolished, wasted resources by overflow due to incoming traderoutes and nobody able to log and spend the resources, starvation,... This just isn't fun to play. I understand TK needs time to fix these attacks and don't blame them for that. But they way this has been handled sucks badly, and i do expect a huge compensation if gamefreeze or putting the game 24 hours back in time isn't possible

    Hehe, check when you have started and when someone else attacked, but we know that you will not get it :D

    As soon as the server was up and running and we could get into the game, we tried to do something. That is why these attacks appeared.

    ofc, and we too. Then we can we go attack. You first write about attack. I write post after your logs. We all have problem. But server lagging and we all don't have good news from adm

    For me, I just want to quit the game without lost of money I put in an unpracticable game. But they don't care !
    As I said in an other post, since a spoled final, I thought they have be able to fix the security of their servers, in fact it's not, so I want to quit !
    But administration team has no time to answer a customer complain !!!!

    One thing to keep in mind is that this is a Ddos attack. There isnt a whole lot a a website can do to defend itself. This isnt a hack, its essentially a server overload. When AAA video games servers get shut down on release day because too many people try to play, thats essentually whats happening here but its intentionally trying to shut the game down.


    Now im not saying people shouldn't be upset about how its being handled, but this occurrence isnt TKs fault. Ive played travian for like 15 years and this is the first malicious attack like this ive seen. Yeah the game has lag issues, but rarely is the game entirely unplayable. But i think we all deserve a bit more then they are giving.

    Well, the problem is that it is TK fault. This is what happens when you let run rampart for years cheaters and bots.

    Now they have reached a point where they have a large botnet network that can initiate DDoS attacks with no problem and no repercussions, which brings us to the current problem. Also, my team and I sent out a lot of reports against players with multi-accounts and using bots only to be answered with the same old copypaste and no action taken. So even if the DDoS attacks are not in TK's control, they are responsible for letting it grow to this point.

    I understand about the cheating part but you cannot say that all those you suspect of cheating, are cheating.

    Just because you make a list means very little nor does it mean everyone on it is cheating. You most likely are correct on some you accuse but definitely not 100% on all.


    So if you see some not banned it is because they are not cheating or Travian cannot find enough evidence against them.

    I said this yesterday in our kingdom chat and stand by it. I have seen more out of Travian enforcing the rules and trying to make our game play better then at any point in my Travian life.


    This is the first time I have ever seen them put in a ceasefire when ddoss hits. That is good.

    I have seen more banned accounts this server then on any other server I have played. That is good


    Am I just defending Travian blindly? No There is a lot to be desired when it comes to customer service and cannot add anything that has not already been told before by others. I see steps being taken this time around though so will afford them a little courtesy to see if they will get a handle on this.

    Starting ceasefire in a minute and then cancelling ceasefire and turning off starvation for 17 hours? Do you see why I hate this company so much?

    What's going to happen now, what do we have to rely on? Here we go again for hours without any answers. Even on the free services you get information continuously, here you don't get it at all.


    I'm looking forward to more "we're working on it but we're not going to talk about it, we're in touch with our team".

    Of course i understand that, but sometimes there's enough proofs about the abuse of something that it's clearly no legal, like raids every 10 secs 24/7 for example, when we report we dont do it lightly we gather all the info we can, we know how to play and that an account can raid 24/7 and be very active but sometimes there something that just dont match. But that's no the point, at least we can agree that this type of practice has been going on for a long time and there has been no satisfactory response to it and it has continued to be abused by bots and multi-accounts.
