With all due respect (seriously not being a jerk)...

Hmmmm>?  Time for a wild guess !  Get your tin hats on boys and girls....  This is just an "opinion"....AWAG....a SWAG.......

Someone earlier mentioned a 37 game winning streak/being banned as a cause.  Just before that, we had someone admit to botting an entire event to win.  Ah, see a pattern and then, they crash the servers over a recognized holiday in the US on "Fathers Day...." no less? 

Someone it seems, may have found a way "into the game" if I were guessing and this massive down time was to "disinfect" whatever got in from Asia maybe?  -  and, was circulating for profit....  That whole event winning via botting simply was screaming at us......then, the magic 37 appeared.

Uh huh, me thinks someone cracked the Gordian Knot somewhere it was being sold....

Well. ASIA server is the cheating capital of all the server regions.. Been that way for years (pre-covid). Nothing will "disinfect" it.. Not even mass banns.

Heed I remind the masses.. The Asia server have been posting a ton of bans online then promo codes for WG  existence es a whole.

I haven't seen anyone in NA "cheat" for years. Must of the cheating is delegated to low tiers and even then.. WG/NA does send the ban.exe on them.

NA doesn't publish the ban list as when the Asia server did. Which means the privacy clause is not enforceable there compared to NA or even EU.

BTW regarding the 37 "winning" streak... I was disappointed it was only 7 days... Asia server is getting soft on the severity but harsh on detection and enforcement.

I dont think the work is related to that.

I doubt the 37 win streak ban was for anything other than the invulnerability hack that Flamu made those 2 videos about 2 weeks ago. As discussed in that thread, many players who tried that exploit got the same 7 day ban with the same wording.

 

I am hoping the half day downtime was in fact to sanitise the servers from the warpack cheating app that is being sold behind the great firewall of China. I doubt the usage has been limited to just the ASIA server. Players from that region also play on EU and NA. It stands to reason the cheating is universal (or was - hopefully).

 

But, we will see I guess. I did notice my FPS tonight has been around 10 higher than was normal, around 144 fps tonight. It usually sits around 132fps. I run 4K all settings maximum.

 

I haven't seen any lists of account bans since the official forums were shut down.

The China server used to be its own game, to the point where Farazelleth had to get permission to make an account over there (because they kept RTS carriers for some time after the CV rework everywhere else and he wanted to go on playing them).

When did that change?

ASIA (SEA), NA, and EU servers (all managed by the same EU company) have been very reliable regarding any cheating attempts that could/may occur.  There is a CN server operated by 《战舰世界》官方网站 (360.cn) where that version (Chinese version of WoWs) resides.  That, in the past, was said (I've never played on it, so basically word of mouth) to be known for "cheat" exploits.

People sometimes confuse the ASIA and CN servers as being the same.  They are not and are operated by different hosting companies.

Probably the biggest reason the EU, NA, and ASIA servers went down simultaneously was maintenance done by the hosting company based in Luxembourg. They started the activity in the evening/early morning hours there time.  For us (NA), however, that was late in the afternoon.  As WG said, this was a maintenance issue.  WG does not maintain its own team of hamsters; a totally different company does.

I tried joining China server myself just for this reason (to play RTS CVs), however, I did not have any success registering there (due to chinese characters website).
