At precisely 3pm CST, the server went down for over 7 hours straight.
Nobody on the server knew why and suspicions went around that it may have been another attack from Craftlandia.
Those suspicions were admitted to be correct when Kainzo revealed his findings. Herocraft is being attacked again at a rate of 8Gbps.
Kainzo stated this in a post regarding the recent series of attacks:
"We've payed javapipe another $160 to thwart it, to coordinate this swap we had to give them a new IP granted via the host. Somehow, our new hidden IP has been attacked as well. This was suppose to be a very quick/easy fix but has turned out to be more troublesome because the attackers are out for blood.
Haven't a clue [who] it is but I can only assume its from Brazil. We've nullrouted/hard blocked over 2000 bots so far, it's a scale of about 8Gbps."
Currently the server is back-up and free to play on once more, with 50% bonus experience for all experience.
As has been declared by the community of Herocraft; Despite getting attacked, celebration resumes as the week goes on with specials and events.
