Servers back online following a DDOS Attack, 5.8. (Since roughly 00:30 UTC) (UPDATE 1:37 UTC)

Eltharyon · Aug 5th 2017, 2:01am

UPDATE (1:37 UTC): The servers are back online after the attack has ceased and resolving the resulting issues with our datacenter.

UPDATE (1:30): The current server outage is the result of a concerted effort to bring Albion Online down with a distributed denial of service attack (DDOS). This is most likely in response to our recent actions against gold sellers to coerce us to not interfere with their illegal business. We're working with our datacenter to find ways to mitigate this attack.

We're currently experiencing connection issues on the live servers. We're aware of the issue and working on it with our datacenter. We will keep you posted.

Shut the server down, its not fair that people are still in the game, this gives them an advantage over us, plus my group was in the middle of pvp. The servers need to be taken offline. This is more bullshit on top of the 3 second auto attack cooldown when dismounting, albion is going in the wrong direction.

Likely answer: Because it is not actually to do with the servers.
It will be a broken node/connection on the way into the servers. The server is still up, only most of us cant access it as we're mostly going through the same nodes/path to the server.

Yeah right. It is definitely their servers.

Vadnarr · Aug 5th 2017, 2:16am

I am curious why there hasn't been a restart either? Is that something you aren't doing anymore? I know a lot of us got logged out in the middle of combat, dungeon runs, etc.

Just wondering if I missed something

mortriste · Aug 5th 2017, 2:16am

Server still up ....better got DC and not log in to see my whole gear destroy and 3hour farm gone from death by mobs.

angrad · Aug 5th 2017, 2:17am

Don't worry guys... it's not their fault.

JohnHusky · Aug 5th 2017, 2:19am

Down for about 50min now. Sounds to be a serious problem.

Also, why is the server online, when it technically is not for the user.

LeDuck · Aug 5th 2017, 2:19am

Thanks for the update

What are the effect of that issue? Are you all like me just stuck at the Failed to Connect message?

I have a feeling there is no one in game. I think the server is down for everyone.

Arg... When you make these posts lock them so people can see right away when you update on the issue instead of the inevitable multi page gg or qq. BTW thanks for posting.

Approximate time to up ?
