Part of combating a ddos attack is blocking new incoming connections. Those who were already connected are still online. That’s why you see 18k online. ---

Wouldn’t it be nice if CCP would say what they do and DO NOT have control over. Then maybe, they wouldn’t completely disrespect their clients by having them completely waste their time rebooting, reloading etc. This is why people are mad. Just admit things are screwed right now. But no, you are more than willing to WASTE a HUGE amount of your customer’s time by jumping through needless, pointless hoops. ---

They asked for a support ticket. Not a bug report. They’re different things, which go to different people. ---
