Let me cover this straight, there's light at the end of the road, but with Rune Gear, isn't there always? Although, I don't see a tunnel of darkness any time soon (metaphor).

Rune Gear yesterday was struck with an 800megabit/s DDOS attack. The attack was 8x our port size and obviously destroyed the connection. With some effort from our VPS provider, they couldn't mitigate the attack. What a shame, so they null-routed us (story of my life). Now here I am, having a mid-life crisis (RG style). I decide to upgrade to a dedicated server.

Let me just say, this server will destroy your minds. The speed is epic (yes, I'm saying epic), the RAM is 5x more than the old servers and the processor speed is amazing! Just be patient, we'll be on it very soon.

I'm in a cheery mood that this dedicated server will last for about one year.
 
RE: Rune Gear's 18 hour downtime

Well, I hope no more DDOS attacks come and hopefully we can be in peace. I was getting scared and hoping you didn't lose any data on the site or anything. But, I'm glad to see it back up :).

I hope it wasn't who I think it was. I feel very bad if I just upgraded a member and he goes out and scams, I'm sorry, I disappointed you :/.

Damn good job Elite. Prodigy needs to just leave him alone. We really didn't do anything to him.. did we?
 
RE: Rune Gear's 18 hour downtime

Awesome man.
I was starting to get worried that RuneGear wasn't coming back.
You did a great job, as always.
 
RE: Rune Gear's 18 hour downtime

Glad to see us back up and running.

RE: Rune Gear's 18 hour downtime

I was wondering why we where down, either way im pretty excited about a dedi. Had to be expensive.
 
RE: Rune Gear's 18 hour downtime

Awesome, glad to see the forum back online!
 
RE: Rune Gear's 18 hour downtime

RE: Rune Gear's 18 hour downtime

The site does seem substantially faster

Yeah, he said all the money he makes from the site goes right back into it and it's true because look at how beautiful the forum is :).

P R O D I G Y didn't complete this attack. The magnitude was too extreme for it to be him.

Everyone has friends.
