Dominikk:
Sklotopolis is currently under a very massive attack. I can't say for how long but the server will stay down for now, it doesn't make any sense to continue as we can't provide an enjoyable atmosphere for you.
Maybe time to say thank you for all you have done on the server. Sadly this got to an early temporarily end here, hopefully not an end for ever. I will at least need a few days to think of the best solution we could go with now. We also have had previous ddos attacks, like in January which we didn't even notice. Sadly this time they are stronger, so we will need to change our setup.
Edit: This doesn't mean the death of the server. We are not going anywhere, just taking a break until the attacks are over which hopefully doesn't last forever.

I am not killing the server. Other people kill the server, we can't stand this attack, because it is far too big for an affordable protection. Server will come back when the situation got better which can be tomorrow or in a few months.

dominikk, how much would proper protection cost you? I'd happily chip in on a part for it

Same here. I don't have a ton, but I wouldn't mind paying $5/month
Also, sorry if this was said or asked elsewhere, but are other servers being attacked as well?

I'd be more than happy to chip in for the protection of the server as well- it's an enjoyment for many and would love to see it kept going. Let us know, definitely . :-)

I still cant find the server on the list so guessing it's still down?
This is the only Wurm server I play on...
Why do people do this.

It could be a competitor WU server taking us down, a kid in his bedroom doing it because he can, a random attack? Unfortunately the hard work of the Sklo admins has raised the profile of the server and made it a target. That said even some of the smaller/less successful WU servers have suffered from these nasty and vindictive attacks.

Server is coming up now. We will see for how long, can't promise anything.

This is so sad, somewhere in the world a sad little excuse for human existence sits there smug about taking down an friendly server in a game only few play.
