Another random person on the web tried to get into our MWLL Wiki trying to brute force their way through our login site. So far we haven’t found any successful attempts in hijacking a user account and no changes to the Wiki have been logged. It might just have been another robot tried to get data it was not supposed to.

This attack was originating from a single address starting at 18/Dec/2010:10:49:14 resulting in 12049 attempts to access the login page. We have added this address to our blocklist denying all and any access to our server.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused when accessing our services.

Feel free to discuss this post in our existing forum post.

We have been having issue for the past few hours starting at 5:17 AM GMT with our website being overloaded with requests. As it turned out the MWLL Wiki has been a target of a fake robot pretending to be Majestic-12 (http://www.majestic12.co.uk/projects/dsearch/mj12bot.php) which caused the server to run under very high load. We have been able to identify the offending IP’s and started rejecting them. Server load is now running as low as usual again without any interruptions of other sites.

The intentions of those fake robots are unknown but likely they only farmed same data found on the website. No other parts of the system were affected by the robot, no access was gained during the attack.

Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Please discuss this post in our forum.

At the request of MWLL community wiki admin Sky_Walker, the lead developers of MechWarrior: Living Legends have completed a community interview.  The interview was composed of questions submitted by the MWLL community and answered by Lead Devs Toth, Seraph and KingLeerUK.  We have answered to the best of our ability and hope you enjoy this look inside of our development process.

We are pleased to announce that our community wiki is now running a custom theme. Go ahead and check it out at wiki.mechlivinglegends.net and give your thanks to Sky_Walker who made all this possible.

Seven days have passed since we launched our MWLL Community Wiki and six days passed since Sky_walker took command of it, so we decided it might be a good idea to check out what you guys have been working on.

The results were more than impressive and the team would like to thank all contributors for their hard work. No less than 19 different people contributed to the wiki since its launch, creating 81 pages with actual content and uploading 39 images. Since its launch, the Wiki has been viewed more than 20,000 times by almost 2300 unique visitors already, who created more than 500MB of traffic in this short period of time.

As a little gesture of our thankfulness and respect for this achievement and the quality of the volunteer team’s work, we’ve decided to replace all links from our factions pages for Inner Sphere and Clans with links to the according pages in the Wiki – until further notice.

Thank you everyone and keep up the good work!

As a last remark for this post and to avoid any confusion, we’d like to state again that Sky_walker is not part of the MWLL dev team at this time, but ‘just’ a very dedicated member of MWLL’s fantastic community. Therefore, please abstain from contacting him regarding MWLL development as has happened in the past.
