It's not PWE's fault 99.9% of the time, so why should they take responsibility? The times they have been at fault, I've said that they were at fault. It's very rare and usually only occurs when data traffic is far above average, such as a TW happening.

For this I'm going to direct you to this: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=21503171#post21503171

There's an incredibly strong possibility you have a file watcher of some sort that is causing the problem. Most likely it will be in the form of anti-virus software. Although running something like a real-time file sync system, such as DSyncronize, may also cause problems.

Every case of the "Server error" that keeps you from pretty much doing anything, has been narrowed down to either security software on the PC, an issue with the modem/router on user end, or a problem with the packets being dropped in-between you and the server.

Or at least, every case that I've been given information on, or have personally troubleshooted on my end.

That's great, except that most of that stuff doesn't really matter when it comes to PW. I've explained it before in a fair amount of detail why PW will never run fantastically. Just know that poor game engine architecture is to blame. That issue is something completely different though. Let's stay on the topic of server error though.

There's a log in your PW installation folder called "EC.log" in the logs folder. Would you mind putting it on pastebin or something. I'm pretty sure I could figure out the problem based on that file alone. Assuming you've had "Server Error" since the file was created.

for years same hardware, same os, same software, same isp.
expansion comes along and suddenly tons of people from different countries have server error.
naturally we conclude that it is not pwi, but the fault of the users or their isps.

I Have Read the Forums but never Posted before. But just wanted everyone out there that is QQ about PWE an the server attacks, Saying why it could be happening etc. I just wanted to Let everyone know (an I hope I don't repeat what others have stated) This is not something PW Can just fix. The server host Has to deal with this. PW also has the Proper Authorities handling this, or helping them. Now if you do a quick Google search, you will see it is not only happening to PWE.

Starting March 3, 2011 Other site have been getting it also.

Here is one for example:
RESOLVED: DDoS Against WebHop
Sun, 20 Mar 2011 1612 UTC "As of approximately 1615 UTC, we are currently experiencing a distributed denial of service attack against our WebHop redirection service. All other services are operating normally, but the WebHop service may be temporarily unavailable.

This is just one company, there are 5-6 others that is getting hit the same days as PW.

Netflix has been hit also. So Many people could not even watch a good movie while waiting for server stability.

March 22nd, 2011, 18:57 GMT South Korea has taken recent DDoS attacks against governmental websites very seriously and plans to start work on strengthening defenses against such threats.The announced measures come after earlier this month around thirty governmental and private websites were targeted in attacks launched from a botnet of around 50,000 infected computers.

Be sure to check your E-mail also, I received this. So everyone will be compensated when this is over.
"Recently Perfect World Entertainment has fallen victim to malicious internet attacks."

Due to these attacks, you may have had connection issues in-game, or loading issues with our websites. We sincerely apologize for the issue and will be compensating all of our players once these attacks have ceased and the source of the issue has been shut down.

We are working swiftly to ensure that these types of issues will not occur again in the future. We are also working with the proper authorities to ensure that the culprits are found and dealt with accordingly.

Once again, we are deeply sorry for inconveniences caused, and we will update you again once everything has been resolved.

- The PWE Team"
So as it appears it is bigger than we all thought. I just hope they do catch the idiot, But I really doubt it.

Good luck to you all. Pleas Be patient It really is just a game. I hope this information has helped many QQ an those Blaming PWE, cause as you see no matter what PWE is not at fault. This is just as stressful an aggravating to them as it is to the players.
Sorry this was so long.

Oh look. A troll thread from someone who claims they quit a good while ago. Never seen one of those before.
