Xtreamtop100 is currently under DDOS attack, so their site is down.

[jiggasta]

well that explains that.

Great job in getting the servers back on line guys, I know the staff have been working hard to get everything back to normal as quickly as possible, thanks for all the hard work

[Cyph3r]

We were not the only ones under attack. About 5 servers in the community and xtremetop100 top site were all under attack as well. Xtremetop100 is still down as of this message.

We informed the public as much as possible, and every time we learned something new on our end. There was nothing more to provide than what we did. I wish everything had been more smooth, but when it started, I had no idea it was last so long, be such a difficult and huge attack, that our datacenters would give us even bigger problems, and that all normal communication avenues would be cut off. We did our best.

Glad to see you back up guys!
Personally for me, the best thing of all that heppend, was that i realized how good are you The hole weekend i was searching for alternative servers...well i didn't find as good one.

Back on your feeds now, heads up, and go straight!

[Klawesome]

Could it be Blizzard?

[Jhall12463]

Despite all the slamming I've seen on your Facebook page this weekend, I think you guys are doing a great job.

[thegreatcerebral]

It's illegal to do a DDoS attack so I highly doubt it was Blizzard. Those new to the "Private Server" "scene" generally what happens is other sites encourage attacks on other sites within this community. That way they can tout that they never go down as well as change in rankings etc. on top 100 sites.

You have to remember that people do pay a lot of $$ to play on private servers. Generally it's on Funservers with custom gear that people really pay (last one I was on had gear for $400 for the set) so there is lots of money to be made. From everything I've seen it appears that Eternal puts a good deal of their earnings back into the server. They also suffer because there isn't "custom" items on the biggest realm and they don't hound people to donate all the time.

The good thing about all this is that if they got attacked as largely as they did then that means that Eternal must be the best. I mean people only go after the best. It's true.

On the slamming on Facebook..

Honestly people just want to be informed. You never know the user base you have here. You may have people willing to donate server space or hardware etc. to do whatever to help but if you don't reply to your community when you are down and have a very simple way to do so (facebook doesn't go down) then you only piss people off.

I don't expect you guys to give great details but honestly a head's up on FB every time the site goes down for longer than 2 min would be great. Especially if the website is down. It doesn't take long to do.

January 14th 2011 : The day that Eternal Wow redefined ass kicking.
And I'm thinking of donating again for the server. Soon as get my bucks. .

Eternal is the best. Like i always say. I wouldn't give up this server for blizz. This server just has way too many fun factors and awesome people on.

You guys are awesome. You guys brought up one heck of a fight. .

[wownoob12]

how come i can't connect to the origins realm? disconnected from the f.server?

[Sinister_Drake]

I am unable to donate at the moment, currently unemployed. But as soon as I start working again, I'll definitely donate.

As for the server being down, I was patient. I also ended up playing Need for Speed as an alternative to keep my mind occupied.

Great job Eternal-WoW. you guys handled this very well.

[noreli96]

is need to add more things in Item Store for vote points!
Like molten-wow there are alot of things to combine!
If you do it will have more players at your server!
For this molten-wow its with so mutch players,3500+ players at just one realm!

[her3tic]

well i personally think the gms did a fabulous job in restoring the server. i already have 3 vip toons here and am thinking of creating a 4th one. it would help the server and me also. i guess if a discount was introduced in the vip shop i might be able to donate a substantial amount. lets see if the gms think discounts are a good idea. m keeping my fingers crossed !!

Most of their site is still not functional.

Well, I voted everyday until I got banned for no reason. You need to keep a grip on you staff, they are messing with your bread and butter.

Excuse me sir, first of all your comment is very off topic, we are talking about the voting system, xtreme100 not working, and the DDos attack...not people being banned, but since you decided to go there let me respond.

I have checked all 3 of your accounts and there IS not a ban or HAS not been on any of them. My staff is not messing with the bread and butter of this server as you say. My staff is not ban happy...we ONLY ban people for just causes that are illegal and against server rules. We ban people with 3 screenshots that are unedited and can clearly see the players name and offense, most hackers are witnessed by more than one GM and have been watched for a significant amount of time. We ban for all type of hacks used, bug abuse and people being extremely offensive with content, racial remarks, abusing the ticket system or for abusing/harassing staff, and even so the last 4 are temporary bans. The appeal system is available to all members who have been banned and for the most part we are very lenient with ban appeals. The GMs are not here to make your life miserable or to puff their chests and show any type of abuse of powers. They are held accountable and I am very satisfied with their performance. If you have issue with any of the GMs please feel free to bring it to my attention and it will be looked into. Have fun and keep voting, thank you.
