Yeah the EVE haters are in rage because CCP compensated us with SP today. Can only hope they’lll eventually be found and spend a nice 5 years in prison.

No, they don’t always say it. And to be fair, when I was trying to relog the launcher showed behaviour that I would very much expect during a DDoS. Some replies still coming through, most being dropped. Online chars already had weird slowing down of things shortly before relog didn’t work anymore. If the server was just suddenly offline or the people online had normal experience, while others couldn’t log in, I’d agree with you. But this behaviour looks legit like someone clogging up the server.

CCP posts blog stating how well they are prepared for any future DDoS attack.
Get attacked same day and immediately game crashes.

…quickly now, let’s form a new team to examine the old new team to prevent DDoS attacks!

they already have enough experience with DDoS and thus wouldn’t be investigating the issue but look straight into this .

DDos is a general term for a wide amount of attack szenarios, so “enough experience in DDos” isnt possible. And there is no light bulb on the system telling them “DDoS”.

Really tired of that stuff already. I have some experience with other mmos and never saw that level of problems: lag, chat shenenigans, client crash. In a game with full loot system. Now i need to fill reimburstment tickets from two accounts. Will they reimburst non burned blue modules if ship died on a fw mission?

On the day of your piece (among other things) about these attacks. Coincidence? I think not.

i still have login issue, at 18:31 in Germany.

Did you try restarting your launcher? Germany here as well, no issues anymore.

please tell me more.

yes and i restart my pc.

Hm ärgerlich… Just a wild guess: if it is possible try restarting your router. Maybe during the attack you tried too often to connect and your IP is blacklisted now or something. Getting a new IP might solve the issue.

still having login issues in sweden

No login issues here. Maybe it’s because I’m on vacation and not freaking out over space pixels…
