Lol it always says 0 players online and yea main is finally gone! Now EOserv rules over endless online! lol

someone(probably jimmyee) found a bug.  And is exploiting it.

Indeed. but it is my belief that Either Suave, Jimmyee, or another have found an Exploit and forced a server boot if it goes above 40 or so players.

Scott, Syran, Apollo, and Suave have more information on the matter.

Suave took credit for the exploit, but as to whether it was truly him I am not sure.

Although his intentions are clear, they won't be reached, He wanted to get Vult-r's attention So he could save EO before it was too late.

If you haven't been up-to-date with EO, here is the Run-Down:

EO is now a cesspool for Spammers, Speeders, and Wannabe Hackers alike, fake gold everywhere you look, wretched Item prices to combat cheating, and abused servers that choke on it all. The server is in DESPERATE need of an account wipe, and Vult-r has abandoned EO since it brings him littleprofit to fix it. Although it is Vult-r's right to do so, and atleast he left us a ton of resources so that sausage could create a reborn EO Community, The way I see it, sausage is the new & better Vult-r.

No offense, but if Sausage was indeed the "new and better Vult-r", wouldn't EOSERV be better than the official EO even without having to edit anything?

As for the EO servers themselves, Jimmyee has discovered an interesting packet using his "EODrone" or whatever he calls it now, and is spamming it over and over, thereby preventing any logins to the game itself. Esaulpl has taken this opportunity on the EO forums to try to take credit for it, but failed.

Personally, I once thought the same way Jimmyee did, that destroying EO was the only way to get a response from Vult-r. I now see that I was wrong. He is not going to get his desired result, I can assure you of this. If Vult-r does come back because of this, it will only be to take EO down for good. I know this because with my server, I have been in the same position. That is why I no longer use SLN.

Jimmyee, if you are reading this, just try to think of it this way. If you put years of effort into a game that was once fun, and then thousands of people come, only with the intent to cheat the system and get items/gold/titles/god knows what else illegally, and yes, this is in fact breaking the law, then would you come back to it? Almost 5 years ago now these problems started becoming very frequent. In the beginning Vult-r did in fact fix them. Eventually he started just handing things out so the people abusing them would keep quiet about it, and hopefully, to bribe them to stop doing it completely. Now, he just lets it continue. It's not that he doesn't care about EO, it's that he's been used so much and so often that he's tired of trying now.

It's our fault that EO is dying now, and we need to accept this. EOSERV production was halted long ago, Sordie quit developing Kalandra and Seose, and Rena is the only one still actively producing, but only gives her product to select people. If this continues, EO has no future. It may not be too late to turn it around, but if this keeps going on, then EO will die. That's all there is to it.

Jon, do you know/have any means of Directly contacting Vult-r?

This also posses a curiosity of anyone's capability to, rather than screw with EO, access it directly and Wipe it. This is more than likely impossible but if anyone can make an attempt; than this is what everyone who actually Plays Desires, correct? the restoration of EO Without any Wannabehackers?

Perhaps someone is willing to buy the source for EO? Suggestively Scott or Addison.

Contact with Vult-r is at least a start, if he is willing to listen that is.

I've been doing research for several years, and on my old laptop, have his home address and phone number (but as I retrieved these last year, they may have changed). I have an old personal email of his from a domain that is still in service, I have received no replies from that email, however. I have not tried calling him, and I probably won't. One, because he barely speaks English, and two, because upon mentioning EO, he would most likely hang up on me.

I've been wanting to buy EO for quite some time, but don't know what his asking price would be. Either way, I have the ability to buy and keep it online, as I'm definitely not short on money now. But the question remains: would he agree to sell it? I doubt it.

If you're going to be creepy enough to save all the information of his, which was probably unwillingly given, then why would you stop and just decide to save it?

It's the same reason I keep information on everyone I deal with. Scott, Sordie, Sausage, etc. It's a failsafe.

Which is all publicly available I should add.

News flash, the server is not currently, and hasn't been for a while, being DoS'd. The effects of it linger and is only reversible with a reboot. Sad to say, but Jimmyee can't let you login any more than anybody else can.

The server does occasionally go "down", but that's due to DDoS from people who don't really understand what a DDoS does and believes it magically reboots the server.

I never said it wasn't. I merely stated I keep it for my records.

I'm really getting tired of your high and mighty "I'm so much better than you" attitude. You should really tone it down.

I was simply saying what you have recorded can all be found online. And Addison's right. It's kind of creepy.

Vult-r is not going to sell Endless Online. He is a businessman and sees value in the name of the domain alone as well as the fact that it is his hobby. Maybe if you try to approach Vult-r as the part of a major software label he would talk dollars and intellectual properties with you, but I don't see him even raising an eyebrow to sell to a player or fan of the game/concept.
