Minecraft Multiplayer Brought Down by DDoS Attack

[Fensfield]

Oh yeah, that'll work >.> Any idiot bowed to that sort of behaviour would doom their entire commercial future. Better to just burn the project and do something entirely else than give in, if the prats in question choose to keep it up long-term.

Wow, a 4chan act which doesn't fill me with hilarity.

Still, could be worse. the dev could be as much of a bastard as me and just go "oh, ok. No updates ever, then." That's what I'd do. Considering the income of Minecraft so far, I could live on that for a long while.

Though everyone else posting should lighten the fuck up.

Seriously, just play single player. You did download it, right? Then all you miss is multiplayer and your skin.

So, here I am, wanting to play Minecraft and then go buy the Alpha version because what I have played I've enjoyed. But I can't because some stupid babies wanted their update NAO. I bet when they did this, they expected everyone to go, "Fuck yeah! Notch is an ass, and we want our update!". So funny how that backfired on them.

While I would never condone something Illegal. Perhaps something should happen to the 4Chan forums. But I would never condone something like that, no never, I do not know how to hack (yet).

 

[greenflash]

Any one else want to hunt them down and lock them in a room with a 12 Crazy Teabagger?

 

[ALPHATT]

fools, the money is his already. If anything a DDoS is a pain in the ass that demoralizes you.

Ok, I posted a thread that made me mention 4chan made me have an apiphany, people said "Well 4chan isn't always that bad" the instant there's a thread involving the words "4chan" "DDoS" and "Minecraft" you all freaking go "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!". That is very hypocritical of all of you. No offense, but THIS must be why you guys are considered the most self-centered jackasses on the internet. YOU'RE ALL. FUCKING. HYPOCRITES. Go ahead, report me, get mad at me, call me a troll. I'm not a troll, I'm not trying to get you mad, I'm not trying to get banned. I'm just stating the facts, apparently if 4chan even LOOKS at Minecraft funny, you all go Knights' fucking Templar, but if someone has a positive result of 4chan they go "They're not that bad of a site". Seriously, all of you should go eat a bag of dicks.

OK. The story never said that it was 4chan, and stop tarring us all with the same brush. I've never said anything bad about 4chan. Also, the guy that posted below you never said anything about 4chan so just keep your aggressive nonsense to yourself.

It's in the damn first post, 90% of the first page of it says "Boo 4chan!" "4chan sucks!" "I hate /v/!", yeah, really not about 4chan AT ALL.

The story. As in, the news story written by Andy Chalk. Also, I read 3 posts in the first page that mentioned 4chan, plus one that mentioned Anonymous. I make that to be around 11 and a half percent, including the post about Anonymous. That's quite different to 90 percent mate. Also what first post are you reading? This is the post that I get.

Not sure if it is a connection or just a coincidence, but when I tried offline single player, that was also crashing...

Please, just be quiet.

The bolded bits make the italic bits really rather ironic. Calm down and try again.

On topic: Grr, yah boo suck etc.

I do feel that this is grossly counterproductive and a fine example of Failure To Read, considering there's a whacking great update coming on the 31st, probably more than the content of 5 weekly updates, and had been promoted as such for a couple of weeks now.

When I said "I'm not trying to get you mad, I'm not trying to troll, and I'm not trying to get banned, I'm merely stating the facts", is basically saying it's in vain if someone does or assumes so.

I was focusing on the "not trying to get you mad, not trying to get banned" bit because the bits I bolded look like someone trying to get people mad at you and generally trying to get yourself banned in my opinion. That was my point. As I said before, calm down and try again.
[Edit] Typos.

it's not hipicricalcal if some thing new happened

 

[zero_blahs]

I am unsurprised.

The hilarious thing is that AFAIK Notch hasn't transferred the money from himself to the fledgling company yet. Besides not wanting to commit an epic dick move, what's to stop him from saying "Repeated server attacks has made further development impossible. Thanks for the money, bye!" and vanishing? (Or just vanishing with no fanfare?)

Anyway, some brats bought time on botnet with a stolen credit card or something and now want to show the world how big and bad they are. That's all.

So that's why I couldn't log in yesterday...

A bunch of babies had a temper tantrum that an indie developer in the middle of starting up a new business didn't release enough updates because he's working on a massive halloween update.
That makes sense.
wait what?

 

[greenflash]

They do know that this is probably stoping him from updating right?

 

[poiuppx]

Whoever did this is not a fan. They are not even a dick. They are a selfish, self-consumed, self-righteous bastard. News flash; ruining the fun of others? That makes you scum. And scum deserve to get flushed. Period. Not supported or championed, or even remembered. Flushed. Here's hoping Anon does find the smug prick. And here's hoping they all have had reaaaal bad days that day when they decide to do what they do.

 

[junkmanuk]

Such arrogance to presume the right to talk for an entire community in such an obstructive fashion; especially when there are massively outnumbered by the thousands of contented and supportive members of the minecraft community. It's childish, pathetic and obnoxious and I hope never to meet anyone involved with this on any server I frequent.
