Maliken (Marc DeForest) speaks about why HoN is down.
Maliken speaks:
It is quite apparent that our current systems are incapable of handling what is being thrown at it. This issue was not present prior to being DDoSed. However, all that did, is bring to the surface issues which would have faced us as HoN grew. These are issues we thought we had solved even after those attacks.Maliken speaks some more and takes the blame:
We are fevorishly working to solve these problems. We continue to make minor adjustments to keep as much uptime as possible. However, these efforts are not impacting things to the degree at which we need (again, clearly evident in performance). This situation is taken as seriously as it possibly can and we are pursuing multiple avenues to correct things.
I am sure the situation appears dire and I can fully understand the frustrations and lack of confidence. I can't say anything to alleviate those thoughts. Right now, it is up to us to get this right and let continued, uninterrupted stability be the only acceptable response!
I'm taking FULL blame for this.To get the latest Maliken related news:
Also, we have had issues prior to DDoS, these are issues that had not shown themselves in months of months of operation and are issues we thought did not exist any longer. The attacks simply showed us the issues did still exist, we simply had higher thresholds before they would show themselves. It was the DDoS that pointed that out.
It is SOLEY on us that those issues could exist in the first place and that those issues continue to exist. We will get this solved, we have no choice. I am in the same boat as everyone else in wanting them and expecting them to be handled sooner than later.

Think i would have rather had no comment
Your taking full blame for it? I dont care, I wouldn't care if americas president took the blame that is not what is important now, I just want to PLAY THE GAME.
^ Your english teacher must suck aswell if you don't know how to write yet.
Consider the rage if they said "OK, we're taking HoN down for two weeks to fix it. See you in October!" It'd make the DDOS attacks look like an ice cream social. They have to keep the game working, but they have to fix it as well - and those goals are not compatible all the time.
Kudos to S2 for doing what they can - Maybe I've gotten lucky, but I've rarely had problems getting into a game. Here's hoping they can get everything working soon.
DDOS is laughing somewhere now.. It says alright, another one in October and lets celebrate 'SEE YA IN DECEMBER!'
I wonder how Valve and others maintains the network without DDOS, ckckck..
"DDOS is laughing somewhere know"
I bet you don't even know what that is.
Dota2 could get DDOSed. Just wouldn't take the game down.
Personally I have endured one of the DDOSes. Was a horrible experience, had free time to play HoN for once and it's down.
God damn Indians.
