Yesterday and today I've noticed moments again where the website is slower than expected and this might affect the game too. It's AI bots and scrapers. These use a residential VPN malware botnet to hide the true origin of traffic. I see thousands of IP addresses sending random requests. This is a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on my online operations. The good news is that every single website has to deal with the problem nowadays so it's not like we're being specifically targeted. The bad news is that there is literally no actual solution except putting up barriers that will block legitimate players. Feel free to discuss here if you'd rather have some slowness every now and then or want me to start potentially blocking actual players to make sure the website and game are more responsive.
