So, lets explain the current situation.
First, the DDoS. We are suffering a bandwidth attack from an unknown source. Basically, on this kind of attacks, the Firewall is blocking the connections from the attackers, but the amount of attacks is that big, that the requests are still consuming most of the bandwidth of the server, causing the unavaility of the service.
I don't have the knowledge or the funds to protect the server against that kind of attacks. Software Anti-DDoS programs are useless, since the connection never reach the machine at all (as I said, the firewall blocks the connection).
I'm going to try to get the money from my relatives and friends so I can purchase a DDoS protected host. I don't know if this will solve the problem, but for now it's the only possibility that comes to my mind.
If everything goes well, I will order the new host this monday, and installation, DNS update and everything will still take few days, so don't expect Myth soon.
For the attackers, I don't have much to say, I hope you are having fun, and that your server gets many players after this.
I've already made a backup of everything in the case of a hardware failure due to the attacks, so there won't be any data loss.
In the last instance, it is possible that Myth never come back. I would like to remind that for me this is a hobby, not my way of life, and that I'm not going to spend the money that my family needs for pay a hobby. I suppose those who are attacking have nothing else to do in their lifes, unskilled people that are just collecting money and taking down any kind of competence (even while I've never had over 260 users, lol). Anyway, I will keep posting news as soon as they come. Please stop asking when the server will be on and shit, because it is not my fault, if the attack stops and I put it back online, 5 minutes later it is down again (just like happened few minutes ago).
I will really try to solve this the best way I can so players won't get affected at all, but this situation is out of my hands and I can't promise anything.
Thanks for your Support.

If everything goes as expected, is probable that we open back myth on a new protected host on the next days.
