I am not sure if CCP saids wether it is a directed attack or not. If the latter, it could be that the whole thing was bigger and hence people from specific areas could still have issues. Any more people from East Coast USA having trouble? ---

> [@Pookie\_McPook](#): > > Wow. You must be a really top notch coder with a fantastic salary? Maybe CCP should hire you? The game industry historically doesn’t pay very well, so a top notch coder with a fantastic salary is likely beyond their reach. While I think CCP does have good people, they’re there because they love what they’re doing, not because they’re well paid. ---

PLEX sale? Have you lost your mind? I don’t want to give them more money to get PLEX at a reduced price because they cannot provide what I already paid for… We don’t need a PLEX sale… We need a PLEX giveaway as a compensation… And btw, we are still waiting for the promised compensation during the chat debacle when they installed the last update… ---

I guess everything is relevant but my son works as a programmer for Canon and he is on a spectacular salary. 😉 ---
