Evony Servers DoS Attack
Wondering why you cannot login today? The word from Evony (how legitimate it is, is anyone’s guess) is that their host is experiencing a DoS attack. The outages have been widespread, across every server, since early in the afternoon CST.
One of our main writers was in the middle of taking down a Lv.10 when he realized the guy was probably experiencing this outage, so he called off his attacks.
There is *no* word on the front of Evony.com- in fact, they just redid the front page to get more users. Our question is, Why not get it working properly for the current users, first?
Call it a DoS attack all you like, but the servers have been running more and more poorly over the past two weeks and this is the culmination of what we were expecting.
Expect more delays like this as the game grows in popularity- we strongly believe Evony may not have a scalable business model and that this is just the tip of the ice berg.
Here is to hoping we’re wrong!
Still happening today. Unable to get on for 5+ hours.
have been locked for almost two days cant get anything resembling close to being able to log on
The genius’s at evony are D-DoS’ing themselves so to speak. \
Too many people + not enough bandwidth= server crash/lag
