Busy week for the Buddy Team  

Posted by ghost_soul in , , ,

This week must have been pretty busy for Bossland, Hawker, Nesox and all the others on the buddy team over at Gatherbuddy.  They've suffered through a DDoS attack on their Auth servers, evidently instigated by some people of a certain decent from a certain communist country that is very jealous of their stranglehold on the bot market.

Not only have they stopped the DDoS and added new Auth Servers, but they have updated Honorbuddy and Gatherbuddy to give them more robust defenses against those kinds of attacks.  For Honorbuddy they have also added some good features such as corpse camping detection, which will be a godsend for those who bot on PvP servers.  As for Gatherbuddy there have been some problems with it skipping nodes.  Personally I would wait a couple days before upgrading to make sure the bugs are worked out.

Speaking of bugs, a few changes to HB have me revamping my questing profiles so I haven't really done much botting lately.  Combine that with the fact that my wife has gone on a gearing rampage has left me little time to work on those profiles.  It doesn't help the fact that I'm making the profile an Alliance profile whereas I primarily play and bot Horde.
