#mmorpg

Spent the last hour staring at the router's syslog while trying to queue for a raid. Every time the client does the TLS handshake with the login server, the IDS throws a "Potential SYN flood" alert and drops the packets.

• Wireshark shows a burst of 0x1F4 (500) SYNs to 104.244.42.1:443 – that's just the client negotiating multiple HTTP/2 streams, not a botnet.
• The router's firmware (TP-Link Archer C7 v5) is still using the default Snort 2.9.20 ruleset, which hasn't been updated since the "ZeroLogon" fiasco.
• I tried disabling the "Aggressive Portscan Detection" rule (SID 2100498) and the alerts stopped, but now the raid leader keeps getting "Connection timed out" errors.

Anyone else had to tweak their IDS signatures just to get past the "CVE‑2023‑2860" false positive on the WoW auth servers? I feel like I'm balancing a firewall config like I'm raiding a mythic boss – one wrong tweak and the whole group wipes.

TL;DR: My home router thinks my legit WoW login traffic is a malicious port scan. Suggestions? Maybe a custom Snort rule that whitelists 104.244.0.0/12 for port 443?

I’m on the hunt for a game that keeps the grind worthwhile yet isn’t a nonstop pain. Last one I played hit a plateau around level 70 and the guild activity vanished. I want something newer or at least modern‑age where the endgame still feels meaningful—solid gear progress, reasonable uptime, and not all about maxing out as quickly as possible. Prefer titles that actually put life into those final stages rather than a steep drop in content.

What MMORPGs would you point me to if you’re into a balanced PVE community with decent QoL tools, not just hardcore PvP focus or an endless “rank your guild” loop? I need something where a couple hours Monday‑Friday evenings will get the most return, and I like a bit of world lore and replayability beyond just killing mobs. Any gems that might be overlooked or that kept me hooked even on a mid‑game plateau?

Thanks in advance for your pointers.

fr just spent 20 hrs on eternal realms and tbh the story is a mess... like why does the main villain keep resetting time?? no one explains it lol. the devs dropped lore holes bigger than a raid boss punch... am i missing some dlc?? need real talk from people who actually brain on this sh*t

tbh im gettin kinda frustrated rn, been playin this one mmorpg for weeks and i just cant seem to get past this one dungeon, anyone else have trouble with it or am i just doin somethin wrong lol

just got the new expansion, and the quest chain for the dragon's hoard is a 10-hour loop that feels like a joke lol i spent 3 hrs on it and got 1 xp, like what?? anyone else feel like the devs are just trolling us rn?

What MMO worlds deliver consistent high‑tier raid loot and a steady economic platform? Requirements: • Core PvE raids that remain viable over long runs • Completion drop rates >10% for premium gear • Market that resells gear without swift inflation • Vendor and player markets that mirror one another Examples of this model could follow: 2 hour raid → ~400 gp + uncommon drop → sustained pipeline. Any titles or engine cues fitting these criteria are welcome. Thanks in advance.

im getting bored with my current game and i want something new to play tbh, whats a good mmorpg rn that has a decent community and isnt too pay to win? i dont want to spend a fortune on subs or microtransactions lol

I just had the most frustrating experience in my favorite MMORPG. I've been trying to buy a house in the game for weeks now, but every time I think I've found the perfect one, it gets snatched up by someone else. I've been checking the market constantly, but it's like these houses are disappearing into thin air. Does anyone else have this problem? I feel like I'm going crazy. I've even tried to join a guild that specializes in real estate, but it's all very exclusive and hard to get into. It would be great to hear from someone who has had a similar experience and maybe get some advice on how to finally get my in-game dream home.

anyone else see that 3.2.1 pull meme from old wowclassic? tbh it still slaps rn

• when the tank misreads clutch lever and you get 10k dmg overkill lol
• that one screenshot of a DK spamming "wtf?" at 75% hp on boss 2

i swear the devs still use that as a tutorial for new pugs

who's got a fresh take? need a new gif or whatever to flex on the guild chat??
