Minecraft Multiplayer Brought Down by DDoS Attack

[zehydra]

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.

Yeah, I'm pretty ticked off at them too, but I want to clarify that ruining the fun of others doesn't always make you scum. in this case it does, because it was for very selfish reasons, but I think of a number of situations where it doesn't. For instance, calling the cops on a bunch of teenagers hitting a homeless guy with bats is going to ruin their fun. However, you're not scum for it.

Aren't there ways to counter this/trace it back?

 

[Areani]

I say we castrate them with a fork, tie them to a cactus, and play pinata with their entrails

Luckily, I'm not Notch. I'm a spiteful sort.
I'd stop the game for awhile and start writing out refunds. If indeed these gents are not affiliated with 4chan, then no doubt 4chan would find them and deliver swift judgment soon enough. Then I could happily start work on the game again.

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.

Seriously, all of you should go eat a bag of dicks.

Really, now?

Oh the horror that we should get mad when we collectively get gut-punched. Don't you theoretically undergo exactly the same kind of hypocrisy upon buying a package of meat? If you were forced to work under the conditions most meatpackers do, you'd be pissed off too.

Also, I have never endorsed 4Chan as "a good site" in any form that I can remember. Generalizations are incredibly wonderful things.

Ive always felt that it was a poor decision to start selling the game in alpha stage. Any changes to the game will be met with criticism when the game isnt even at a release phase yet because people feel they have rights to what the game should be like just because they bought it.

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,

-snip-

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.

Ok, so you just e-punched us in the face then said "don't get angry at me" so when we do get angry you don't feel bad about yourself? Because you didn't have to go all caps with a period every space cursing like a sailor.

Also for the record I view /b/ as a sizable collection of people that have a ton of power but misuse it way too often. I think its nice to respect them for the stuff they do that is actually helpful to the internet but the harmful stuff outweighs this by an extreme margin. Please note that Im not saying that either /b/ had anything to do with this. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if someone from /b/ catches the culprit.

OT: Whoever IS doing this needs to be caught somehow. Notch is a good guy, he made a hit indie game by himself and has done nothing to warrant such an attack.

We have a workaround in our usergroup to get on our server.

Ahh, thanks! This is the only server I play on anyways .

 

[Lt. Vinciti]

HANG NOTCH I DEMAND HIS HEAD!

Srsly...Minecraft is...Notch + 5-6 ppl right?

He cant just keep shitting out updates he has to plan this...or else it will lose what you love...

 

[Kavonde]

What a bunch of reprehensible cockbites!

 

[LightOfDarkness]

How much fun did you guys have with Minecraft so far? Worth the 10 euros? Is the game suddenly less fun or more expensive once constant updates are brought it?

Oh wait, no. Notch could have just released Alpha as the finished version and, hell, it would still be fun, and it could even compete on the mainstream market if it had some real advertising power behind it.

In fact, he could have done that as well as raise the price to 15 euros. Nobody would have complained.

Now then, compare that to the situation with Minecraft right now.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Hasn't delivered the promised updates?
Next promised update being halloween?
Which hasn't happened yet?

Ingrates.

 

[tomvw]

Congratulations, you brought down an indie developer's server, way to stick to the Man! *sigh*
At least Notch seems to be taking it all rather calmly, kudos to him.

 

[Kenko]

Talk about being counterproductive. Why dont they crawl back into the asshole that shat them out and stay there. The world has no need for these cretins.

 

[Magnalian]

Does this remind anybody else of the L4D2 'boycott'? Because... yeah, it's pretty much exactly the same thing.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

I love how they call 4chan now newfags when they pull shit like this.

 

[Glaive_21842]

Lets hope Notch withholds ALL updates to minecraft till the attacks stop ^_^. Hell, better yet, withold updates till the perpetrator are arrested! Can you imagine the kind of internet manhunt that could create?
