not the best solution, but if you’re in a bind you can always use a VPN and log in that way. Like i said, not a solution but it will permit your some function-ability to change skills etc. ---

Any news? for the love of god, those ppl that GET MONEY with the game, are they working or something? because i cant see any response from they :S … I know, now the “ass-likers” gonna say “they are working hard, they love us, they are great! please salute me or tell me “HELLO!”” and bla bla bla… but here there are ppl that work every day, pay for a service and, we have not the service, so we have RIGHT to be complaining about. ---

I use to be patient somehow… But when youre not even in space, TRYING to fit a ship but having only time to open the inventory window and find the module you want to fit then have “socket closed” like 10 times in a row, one gets to the point that patience wears out . Mind fixing the game making it stable before adding more content ? A this point i think stability became more a priority than content, right ? Goin out to take a beer or two, as it looks like another " Today, no play" day … P.S.: Are we gonna get compensation or is it in the “deal” when you pay for a subscription that you will strugle connecting just to be disconnected shortly after ? AFAIK, payment passed without problem, why isnt it same when i try to use my subscription ? ---

I have been having the issues as well for 2 days now… I live in the midwest USA. The only way I have been able to play is to connect to a VPN and then login works fine. WHAT GIVES CCP? Can we at least get an update on this please? ---

If a VPN gets you in… perhaps consider it’s not the servers so much as the general internet. There are normally 10 to 20 steps between you and CCP owned by other people. CCP can’t do anything about those steps. If its DDoS mitigation… well they can try based on tickets but spamming six of them just adds 6 times the workload for a start. And may not be possible depending on attack vectors. ---

It looks to me like CCP is blaming their own screw ups on some nebulous DDOS master race again. I would have thought they learned their lesson from the last time they tried that.
