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.

Im fine with lags now and then or a lost connection as long as i don't have a 12 hour queue after the disconnect to get in the game.

I set up an extremely mild filter to keep out the largest identifiable botnet for now. When they change their approach I hope I can accommodate my mitigation. Let me know if you (or someone else) is unable to connect to the website due to HTTP 403 'Forbidden' errors.

I had it for awhile, but it's fine now and zero lags in game or on the page. Thank you for your fast work on this matter. :)
