Macrogoblin is down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wnbganksta · 10/02/2009, 18:52

I talked with Jack and Macrogoblin was Ddos attacked and he is unsure about when it will be back up, and also the bot should run if you go here:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MacroGoblin 2\Plugins\Aion_Goblin\Aion_Goblin.mg

And double click it to start it. The bot should work for you unless you need to download new game data at some point. So try to avoid Updating from Website if possible. Spread that around if you belong to forums that are asking questions about this

" - Jack

"Hello, my Web Host now says that it's a DDoS attack on my domain. I'm unsure when it will be available again. If you need a refund and it's been less than 5 days no problem.
If you know of forums where people are talking about this please tell them

is under Denial of Service attack. If the site comes back up w/in the next few days I'll increase the trial time for the bot by a few days at least.
But anyone who wants a refund for the last 5 days just send an email to

with paypal transaction ID or paypal email and I'll get to it eventually." - Jack

this is quoted from his emails, well, hope this helps for some wondering about it.

my macro goblin is still in the trial period and has to login upon each startup, so this doesnt work for me.

how long is the mg trial period?

wnbganksta · 10/02/2009, 19:16

email Jack at

He replies very quickly

wnbganksta · 10/02/2009, 19:19

just got an email from Jack.

"I forgot to say that people in trial will not be able to use it in my original info."

so double-clicking the Aion_Goblin.mg file wont work for trial users

wnbganksta · 10/02/2009, 19:22

Here is new info from Jack.

"Hello, my Web Host says that it's a DDoS attack on my domain. I'm unsure when it will be available again. If you need a refund and it's been less than 5 days no problem.
If you know of forums where people are talking about this please tell them

is under Denial of Service attack. If you've purchased within the last few days I'll be increasing the trial time for the bot by a few days at least, probably much more.

But anyone who wants a refund for the last 5 days just send an email to

with paypal transaction ID or paypal email and I'll get to it.

For those who's trial period is actually over and have logged in since it was over they might be able to use the bot by opening:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MacroGoblin 2\Plugins\Aion_Goblin\Aion_Goblin.mg
As long as you dont' need to update the bot or log in it should work.

I'll be working on multiple solutions to overcome the DDoS attack that will hopefully provide solutions even before the DDoS attack is over. I'll also be looking at long term DDoS attack solutions in case it happens again.

The source of the attacks could be either a competitor who's rented out a bot-net OR it could be part of a recent spree of DDoS extortion attacks on MMO Gold, Cheat, and Bot sites. There are some blogs out there about it - or so the better half tells me.

Btw, a DDoS attack is an external brute force attack that simply overloads the domain's access. No passwords or data has been compromised. In fact I can access the website through alternative addresses. But the site is not fully functional using the alternative address so I'll work on that too.

I'll also be working on getting a twitter or facebook account up to keep you informed better.

Jack"

Doesn't work

When i launch Aion_Goblin.mg he need to do a verification from MacroGoblin Servers (to authentificate me). How to pass this ?
ps : i'm not in trial period ofc

tkx ++

Dakidor · 10/02/2009, 19:35

yes i get the same email with another question lol

Deeki · 10/02/2009, 20:23

Yeah I get the same, and I don't see a way around it because even if he decides to temporarily turn off authenticaiton, you'd need a new client and of course he can't push any patches because you can't connect

It was/is a great bot, just need to wait till they fix/clean up things.

It is weird that he requires authentication even after the update because I thought we bought his for life, but only updates for a year.

If I choose to skip or can't update, I still should be able to play the version I have without authenticating.

Bah!

oldtime · 10/02/2009, 20:30

What sucks is that i had the program running but had to restart and couldnt log back in :/ now i gotta work all w/e without the bot grinding for me lol. If only i hadnt restarted.....

zer0patches · 10/02/2009, 21:58

From Email:

Hi, please spread the following info if you'd like:

Realize the software and bots will not work yet. But communication will be better with those links above. The more emails and PMs I have to answer the longer fixing the software will take. There is no ETA, sorry. It could even take over a day, I'm not sure, I'm in new territory - but working hard to get people back online.

Regards,
Jack
