The potential of this game is mind-blowing.

I can't wait until he hires some artists and gets the ball rolling with his company (last I heard, he's still looking for office space).

**Shenrien** · 2010-10-21 04:22

from his blog, it sounds like they found an office waiting to sign some papers, and has 6 people hired.

Anywho. I am trying to put a roof on my massive stadium. If you want to help, Donate some glass, I put a chest outside it.

**Fereydoon** · 2010-10-21 07:00

I need to stop being a cheap ass and buy this so I can play on bgserver. Q_Q

**Talragan** · 2010-10-21 08:20

IS bg server down?

**Syntex** · 2010-10-21 09:38

Looks like minecraft servers are down again, wtf :/

**Kiarax** · 2010-10-21 09:40

It's being DDoS'd. Just gotta wait it out.

this was apparently posted on 4chan, obv no idea if it's legit.

Minecraft is currently experiencing a stimulation provided by us.
It's purpose is to send Notch a clear message of how the future of minecraft will turn out unless he gets to work, namely by influencing the amount of sales taking place, due to the attacks.
Start providing your customers with the updates that you promise them.
We have roughly 83,000 bots available, and preserved for this seizure, we could if we wanted to keep this going for weeks, however we have decided to give it a week, and see whether or not your attitude, and commitment will change, we believe it will when money stops rolling in for the time being...
anyhow, no we're not from roblox, or any other minecraft clone, not to mention none of us have been around 4chan for years, and nor has any real 4channers for that matter, its all newfags now, and has been for quite a few years."

That is awesome, and I hope it brings it to his attention that he needs to get his ass in gear.

It sucks that we are paying the price but if it helps in the end I'll gladly accept it.

To me it sounds like a bunch of butthurt people who feel entitled. All they are doing is inconviencing people.

**Insanecyclone** · 2010-10-21 11:16

Yeah a lot of butthurt people.

Addictive indie computer game Minecraft was knocked off it's little block wheels yesterday apparently by a group of self-identifying disenfranchised Minecraft players demanding more updates from the game's creator.

Developer Notch writes that the game's servers are getting hammered by a distributed denial of service, or DDOS, attack.

"A real world example would be running up to the cashier at a super market and paying in small coins, counting every single one really slowly, then finding out at the end you didn't have enough in the first place," Notch wrote on his Tumblr today. "The "Distributed" means it's done from a lot of places at the same time, so it's much harder to simply deny access to the clients that do that. Usually this is done via computers infected with trojans, so people participate in this without even knowing they're doing it.

"As to why minecraft.net is being targeted, I'm not sure."

A post on 4chan claiming responsibility for the attack says that the group launched the DDOS because they want more updates from Notch. They also point out they are not active 4chan members or people from rival games.

Here's the full statement. Do keep in mind we have no way of knowing whether these really are the people behind the ongoing attack.

Is the official quote. I don't know the origin of the quote, but it is happening.

So if you're missing your daily Minecraft fix, just keep in mind that you can apparently blame other Minecraft fans for the problem.

The DDoS attack continues, I'll just get back to coding, then. [The Word of Notch, thanks Pigmassacre]

That could be 1 person, and is likely less then 10.

**chiyio** · 2010-10-21 11:50

Looks like another day of not being able to log in

**Foras** · 2010-10-21 11:55

I don't even know how he would stop something like this. I think his servers are in the cloud sitting on some data center so who knows. Guess I'll google it.

**Kaisha** · 2010-10-21 11:58

He'll probably just issue another free-week until he comes across a solution or hire someone experienced in that matter.

**Foras** · 2010-10-21 11:59

Hmmm, Cisco gear with intrusion prevention systems that would throttle traffic and auto blacklist blocks of ips. But if his servers are in a data center wouldn't they already have these in place? wtf

**Syntex** · 2010-10-21 12:21

Butthurt or not this is not a free game and a lot of people put money down to play. He should listen to this and do what he needs to do.

If this were something like a dollar or you can play for free all around then its different but the fact he has made almost 500,000 sales I think and thats a lot of money.

I think this is enough to get him to pay attention to his fan base, because I think he does care and just needed a kick in the ass.
