<!ANNOUNCEMENT> DuelingNetworkMon Apr 22, 2013 8:26 pm

Dear Duel Academy!

Recently, DuelingNetwork, our default dueling platform, got attacked by malicious third-party attacks (it got DDoS'd, for those who want to know), causing the servers to temporarily go down, thus leaving us without access to DN.

Chances are that Black Luster Soldier will soon enough have protected DN against these attacks or have restored DN from the attack.

Until then, please use YGOPro (Percy or DevPro version; download links are provided in the Menu widget).

Thank you for your understanding,

Irate

aww man that really sucks :/ hope they can fix it soon
I have a question though, what does DDOS'd mean?

Re: <!ANNOUNCEMENT> DuelingNetworkMon Apr 22, 2013 8:32 pm

They kept bragging about their ultimate system, after all Its nothing more than few codes. Anyway, that means we'll have to either pause our tournaments, or switch to YGOPro/DevPro.

DDoS is a computer term, an abbreviation for Distributed Denial of Service.

You can imagine it as a person sending 1000000 letters over the post office so that all the other letters don't get delivered.

I see, thanks for the explanation Irate (and thanks Anzo too I guess? lol :D)
Well, let's see if they'll manage fix it soon, I came to like ygopro more anyway :D

Re: <!ANNOUNCEMENT> DuelingNetworkMon Apr 22, 2013 8:55 pm

Also we should stop the tourneys from some time. A lot of people can't run ygopro & devpro.

Re: <!ANNOUNCEMENT> DuelingNetworkMon Apr 22, 2013 8:56 pm

We won't stop them, I think we'll pause all on-going tournaments and events that started while DN was working. We'll start new tournaments with TGO/DevPro as the default system.
