Q3A Problems-DOS attack on id -- 8:34 am CST, Update by The Master
According to Blue, id Software is under a Denial-of-Service attack right now, and therefore anyone having problems playing Q3A should assume the measures being used to combat the DOS attack are causing your problems. Here's the scoop:Connectivity Problems with Q3AA.T. Hun comments: Boy, the warez lamers will stop at nothing. Someone on the Shugashack suggested an appropriate punishment, which I can't repeat here (it's a family site after all). If you've seen the movie Deliverence, you'll know immediately :)
To be blunt, we are currently the target of a major denial of service attack which was started at 3pm CST this afternoon.
The perpetrators of this denial of service are saturating two full DS3's coming into Dallas, and are affecting all Savvis, UUNet, and Sprint connections locally.
To combat this attack, Savvis, UUNet, and Sprint have implemented access filters blocking certain traffic to our entire class C, and are blocking our DNS server entirely.
Savvis will be monitoring the situation throughout the evening, and I'm expecting a wakeup call at 8am from the morning tech crew at Savvis for an update. I will be calling the FBI in the morning to proceed legally on this attack.
I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this is causing you. Believe me, we are as frustrated as you are.
