I can login to Singularity without a problem. Tranquility I just get a black screen and socket closed after character select. I’d venture to guess things aren’t back to normal… ---

Same here. The strange thing is that EVE’s launcher is showing over 19k players in Tranquility atm. I wonder what’s the issue is. ---

The player count has barely been about 20k all evening. Normally in recent weeks it peaks at around 34k. Clearly there is a massive problem still. Lots of people can’t log in, and CCP is silent. ---

If you have black screen on log in, nothing works. Restart doesn’t work. Clear cache doesn’t work. Reinstall doesn’t work. This only happened since the servers dropped in the attack after and it has continued to happen even after the restart. ---

Why would it? It’s not a client issue. It’s a DDoS on the servers. ---

CCP Falcon, We, the community would appreciate an update not silence as to the ongoing nature of the issue. I have been with CCP and EVE since Beta and am disturbed by the alarming lack of information over the past couple of years when issues have occurred. We, those that play and pay for your livelihood are still waiting for compensation from the last issue from the patch. You can add today to the list of owing us an explanation and compensation for lost game time as we wait to hear nothing but silence from your end. Respectfully Submitted, Isabelle Nerin ---

Also why the forums stay up (as long as you’re logged in) 😃 In a very different network location, unaffected by the DDOS.
