What do you mean being "associated" with P99? I saw that mentioned in another thread, but not quite sure what people are referring to.

And I can take steps to handle the DDoSing, there are ways to fix such things.

it means that whatever retard is DDoSing P99 is lashing out on the launcher also ... since it always happens simultanously ...

if you enjoy having a million connections per second on your infrastructure ... then have fun handling it lol ... i sure as hell wont spent hundrets of euros or dollars or anything to get the necessary equipment to handle attacks like that for something we offer for free ...

i mean you can see how well rogeans $500 a month anti DDoS solution works out ...

Ah, I see.

Well, like I said, there are ways around it and tools that can be used to handle such things, and I'm happy to take it on. It doesn't cost hundreds of dollars/euros to fix. I enjoy the service and I know I'm not the only one, so to me there is value in maintaining it.

It may not be "worth" it for some, but dealing with netsec is my job. I have no problem taking on the responsibility.

I use it on patch days to update, but most days I just use the eqgame.exe shortcut.

[Rumzuck]

there is not much i can do besides banning.. so a ddos attack is always successfully within the first minutes, until all the zombies are banned

[Acrux Bcrux]

I use it only on patches myself.

I used to use it. I don't use it anymore. It was a cool patcher for playing on different servers, but I stick to P99 now.

[Nick687]

I use it every time I launch the game.
