Even after the ddos problems we got daily at afternoon till late at night strong delays about 3-4 seconds. And i am not the only one who got these delays but my whole CP as well and i guess much more people than my party. Will it be fixed soon?
Yeah, not too enjoyable to play with 1s delays. Is server under light DDoS now? :D
In the morning and during the night there is no delay, so you can assume that the server might be attacked in these "rush" hours. But it can be caused by the higher traffic on the server which would be fixable once the server is stable.

6k online is high traffic for rpg? ;D
i cant say for sure but usually this DDoS attacks coming from big sources last for longer time, so i would say server is still under DDoS but admins found a way to mitigate it, and prolly this lags/delays are still due to the DDoS.

i am thinking the same...
Yes, you can be sure that lag/delays are by DDoS attacks.
Why it isn't easy to fix?
Because the DDoS attacks simulate the common behaviour of normal players trying to log in.
I dont know what are the admins doing but I know how difficult it is.
Just be patience.
Actually if you remember on the previous rpg-club from 2012 and 2010 there was ddos on start also and it lasted about 10 days to 2 weeks. After that servers ran smoothly!
Delays are gone for now, much better.
