No.  They're RP'ing on a retail Moonguard server.

Chill down they just made a huge transfer and almost all vanilla servers has had alot more downtime than this with smaller population aswell. Shit happens sometimes, just be patient and happy that there actually is a server and people who wants to make vanilla wow happen.

The Server is now offline. Fix inc :D

I wonder why they would make this transfer since the server was already pretty over populated- Or maybe its just small amounts of people so it wouldnt really matter that much.

 

I hope not all admins in same time zone and need to sleep in the same time lol lol.. at least take shifts guys. haha

We didn't experience any DDOS attack.

Care to share what happened? Is the SQL database crashing or something? I noticed that I lost about 30 minutes of progress from the crash last night, so i assume the DB was having issues prior to the server completely crashing.

How would you know, you're just a CM. If they tell you anything, why the secrecy? 

So you're saying someone is crashing the server using an ingame bug, perhaps to dupe items?

I think the problem here is the assumption that it's automatically an entity purposefully doing this to the server, but we aren't getting the proper information.

 

Why would somebody directly target one server when they can easily hit all? Why would they do it at the same time everyday when they can do it several times and different points? If I were wanting to cause problems, I'd be thinking of these questions.

Because they were banned and lost a lot of gold? Because they own a rival private server and are jealous?

They strategically choose the exact time when System Admins go to bed, thus taking the server down for 6+ hours.

Either that or they dupe items before going to bed, so they don't have to deal with any downtime.

They can easily set something up to randomly throw out a disruption at different times. Had it been me, I'd be doing it often to cause problems for them because it's going to interrupt the players, likely causing losw of tons of progress they've worked on.

 

Edit: not to mention I would target all the servers.
