What is ddosed? Also we should get the factions semented and get each one a player mod, that will get the rp rolling A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is an attempt to make an online service unavailable by overwhelming it with traffic from multiple sources. They target a wide variety of important resources, from banks to news websites, and present a major challenge to making sure people can publish and access important information. Why would someone do that?

edit: Bored and without anything better to do, time to list a proposal. An admin per established faction would be the ideal set-up for this community, essentially the admin could either help mayor or simply participate in their established zone (meaning the admin doesn't have to be the unquestionable leader of that particular banner or land). The issue is ensuring that the chosen admin is of good character, and I don't mean their ability to role-play. The ideal approach would be for the SO to interview and review potential admins who would later be reviewed by the community itself. A example of this would be that first John Doe applies for an admin position which is then reviewed by the SO or an appointed admin, this would lead to a interview in teamspeak that, if successful, would lead to the creation of a thread here on the forums. The thread would run along the lines of "John Doe, admin, Community review". It would then be up to the community to post on the thread explaining all positive and negative thoughts of this potential appointee. After either an acceptable amount of feedback or and allotted time has come to fruition, then John Doe would be officially appointed as an admin. Were this hypothetical system to be considered, It would be wise for another mind to propose how admins were to select/join/anoint themselves into factions as either leaders, high ranking officials, or basic members.

We cant do admin, we need player mods like we have becuase if you ask an admin for a ck on a faction lrd you dont want the lord your gonna kill to know

I believe we were ddosed. I submitted a support ticket to my server provider. If they don't fix it by tomorrow, we will switch providers. The most important thing is that we stick together. When was the last time there was an actual stable community of pw players? Please do your best to sit through it and hopefully it will all be fixed soon. Don't let the ddossing douche bags get the best of us If you do end up changing the host please go with a Chicago location. It will severely lower the ping for the majority of the server while only slightly raising the ping the 3 people who get good ping with the current location get. Chicago us always the best place for NA warband.

And go with NFO servers, they're by far the best.
