I’m a noob who signed up two days ago, and now they’re offering me a month of Omega for $7.48, which expires on Feb. 4th. Do you think the server will be back up by Feb. 4th? 🤔 ---

FWIW Neustar is a horrible back end registry that can’t even be bothered to follow ICANN rules: [Neustar has destroyed the .BIZ and .US domain name whois service - OnlineDomain.com](https://onlinedomain.com/2017/10/05/domain-name-news/neustar-destroyed-biz-us-domain-name-whois-service/). If it turns out this is due to Neustar managing DDOS protection in North America it’s simultaneously obvious and baffling. Six days without being able to play here. ---

So here is another issue with the extended time away from Eve: I plex six accounts. This is really not that big a deal, but I make my isk mostly through passive/semi-passive means. I do PI and market trade. Every day I restart extractors and factories and I setup my buy and sale orders then its off to my space pixel life. But its getting close to a week with no PI extracted, no items trade, no isk incoming. So plexing may just become an issue after a while. ---

Yes, do it. I’m playing EvE right now. If you cannot right now, you will be able to soon. Even if it was another 5 days, it would still be worth it. ---

If it takes 2 days for Neustar to “identify” my IP, with its 3 Omega paid accounts, I think Neustar is all but incompetent. Furthermore, this morning I logged in and had no chat channels on any account. An hour later I logged in again and all three had chat. Mind you login was still troublesome. I ran Skilling Sprees on two of the characters, logged them out and other characters under those accounts on, and had no chats. Apparently Neustar is also having trouble remembering good IPs in addition to having trouble recognizing good IPs. My third account has yet to log off. While it’s great if 70% users aren’t having trouble; I suspect that number is grossly inflated. I think 30% aren’t having trouble and the other, ahem, 30% are.
