    So you're saying that theres no hackers?............... no DoS attacks...........?

    rofl i wouldn't be surprised one bit if ur right and PWI don't want to tell us its their fault, instead blaming it on hackers.

    Or are you saying there are DoS attacks they're just somehow not attacking the server, but the network?

    idk but i have a feeling that it is DoS attacks considering FW have had the same problem and so have other websites/companies recently

    it could be all of the above. access attacks attack the access mechanisms by overloading them with too much information. the actual server is well below the level of attacks and is safe, but if u cant get ON the server, that is just as good as killing the actual server.

    ok so this is just awesome... yesterday while playing the game i opened my stash for level 80 got my christmas tome and then my stash box disappeared. I went ahead and got another stash thinking that maybe i dropped it on accident and nope..... opened it all the way to level 80 again and it disappeared AGAIN.

    Because they end at 80 b:bye

    hmm, another example of how pwi should give you the option of being able to delete your own account. Well all i can say is i hope i dont get my account/bank info jacked <.< for pwi sake or they might wake up with a few layer's letters in their mailbox.

    You can tell the people who truly understand what a DDOS is. They are the one not blowing up. They are just **** around on the forums joking and carrying on waiting to be able toi play patiently.

    That's right, and I wont blow up; until they say that they aren't going to compensate by extending 2x to a period of time I can actually fully utilize it. If they fail to do this, then watch out for a massive explode from me, and I'm sure many others...

    They have already sent everyone E-Mails saying there will be compensation after the DDOS attack is over.


    Recently Perfect World Entertainment has fallen victim to malicious internet attacks.

    I know you two probably already have but I'm still gonna say it for GP. Make sure you cheak the E-mail registered with PW. One way I found out how to know what E-mail you used is go to submit a ticket. On the form for the ticket it shows your Email address.

    Sorry, I read through about 8 pages and just skipped to the last page.b:surrender
    I like the last part of the Wiki link :

    In the Police and Justice Act 2006, the United Kingdom specifically outlawed denial-of-service attacks and set a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

    In the US, there can be a serious federal crime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act with penalties that include years of imprisonment.

    Many other countries have similar laws.

    ty Nowitsawn

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    I never recieved this e-mail either. However, a few friends of mine did. I think it was a hacker personating the pwi email address to get users to open it. But as I'm sure with other games, things like this do happen.

    When you impersonate the address there is always atleast 1 letter replaced or something. I compaired the email to my other emails from PW. My beta key emails my zen purchase emails. The addresses are all the same and the stuff thats always in the email is the same.

My favorite is the bank of america one saying I need to verify my bank account number because my account was compromized. LOL I don't even do business with bank of america. They arent within 50 miles of me. Lol I even get them supposivly from discover card which I don't have lol.

    I agree Tigriss, all the e-mails I've received from zen purchase, and my other e-mails, match. But I can't help but ponder if there if that myth e-mail exists, because I have yet to recieve one.
