It's the huge lag spikes that finish me off.

Le sigh. Once again I was minutes away from completing my ring when I decided to afk to run up to CVS. Came back to see I dc'd. Just one ring..that's all I want to do. Yet, I find myself trying to several times a day. >_>

All of Khaini just bit the dust.
inb4 new Server crash hack.
I guess it's a damn good thing I stopped training about 7min ago.

I just hit level 120 on my Dawn Warrior as the server crashed, so I had to re-level to 120 because I got RBed. Though, I love that it happened now because I found a second ABR recipe right before I hit 120 again, lmao.

just got lagged out...can't get back in b/c the login servers aren't working properly...*waits for nexon to continue saying it's an internal thing and not a public map crash hack so they don't have to patch*

->Wakes up to see if USC is done.
->Sees that it's done, tries to select server
->Can't select server so relogs
->Stuck on Mercedes screen before server selection
->Loads after 5-10mins and still can't connect
->When should I stop trying? aha

Lol, at least you can get past firewall.
Owait, I tried again and now works.
These firewall errors are so random o.0

Actually this fits more with the DDoS theory.
A crash hack either works (and then the channel crashes immediately) or doesn't (and then nothing happens). If they hadn't patched it we'd see channels crashing constantly, like when this mess started.
DDoS, however, is a more gradual thing. If you hit a site with a lot of traffic but not enough to crash it, it may still lag. Which is what we're seeing now: spikes of lag, sometimes extreme, and a rare crash here and there. So it looks like Nexon has buffed its network against the DDoS, but couldn't get rid of all the noise, so we still see lag.
Or, you know, it could be as they say, something to do with a random hardware malfunction, which they were able to mostly fix but not quite.

Neither really explains why it's effecting multiple games.
It's equally odd that a group would be coordinating a DoS/DDoS against individual channels of multiple games, including individual login servers, as it is that hardware would be malfunctioning across all those different servers simultaneously.
About the only thing I can think of that could malfunction on this degree to cause actual crashing would be a shared SAN going haywire, or an unstable electrical grid randomly dropping whole boxes, but both seem unlikely. No other resources would be shared across this many points to be a weakness this large.
This whole thing will likely remain a mystery forever.

Oh perhaps.. Their servers are just completely fucked?
Wouldn't surprise me if they haven't replaced them for 5+ years and these "server upgrades" are just adding stuff to them not actually replacing

I've been wondering what in the world could be causing all of this. You came up with a much better probable cause than I did lol. I will say it's severely ticking me off though. Every single weekend something gets jacked up. <sigh>

We already know that a large part of what they did in those upgrades was rearrange the ratio of channels to servers in favor of making less machines handle more servers.
Whether it was because they upgraded those boxes to be beefier and consolidated, or whether they just were trying to save money by cramming as much on to as little as possible we'll never know, but it definitely does not seem to have been the choice to improve overall stability.

Ask Eos.
Fiel originally made the site and as far as I know, he added the fruit censors.

Gratuitous swearing is turned into fruits. Real swear words only come through if you really mean it and take time to type them special.

That doesn't make much sense. We all know they have the money to invest in better servers, and would prob bring in much more profit to do so.. Because i'm sure people are buying nx in this pineappleed up week? because im sure as hell not buying nx til I can play without massive lag spikes and crashes.. Then again this comes from the servers that just accepts whatever packets you throw at it..

So can I start doing rings now?
Or do the servers still coincidentally crash every 58 minutes?
GMS Server Status Discussion 2012-01 - FoolsLove - 2012-01-29
Servers have been (mostly) fine for the past several hours.

Can't believe Broa is doing just swell. Managed to put up a ring mule at 12 am PST before going to sleep, and was amazed to find myself still on several hours later.

Anyone else not able to log in again after a disconnection because the "ID is already logged in"? Ive been stuck like that for hours.
