They forgot to give water and food to the hamsters.
Now they are all dead.
It will take some time for a new batch to arrive.
Any chance that CCP will freeze Omega account status until this clears up?

4 days, broken game
US East Coast
This is the 4th day of broken log-in, disconnect after 5 minutes, for me.
I happen to have only reactivated my account 6 days ago, so more bad than good.
Reading about this problem has only highlighted how many past similar attacks,
each reading like the one before, have happened. Time to bring in the specialists.
You canāt do everything in house.

well I donāt right now know whether I am docked or undocked, all I do know is I was at a major trade hub and there was a lot of ships outside that would be happy to blow an afk player ship up and take his cargo.
So right now I donāt know whether to be pissed or relieved.
I think you will get your stuff back if you got killed while disconnected, but you will need to open a ticket on the Support site.

Any news of problems with PS and XBox Servers ?
Is it only CCP that is being attacked or other servers are suffering too ?
I could get in before 11am Central time (1700 server) last couple days but after that time no go. On the plus side got a lot of cleaning done.

Thatās a loot of players killed by npc on zkill, lost a mission BS on main as well. Sighā¦ thereās gonna be a rollback? Looks like many players got a hit and reimbursment is gonna be a lot of workā¦
Could you imagine if all this righteous anger were directed at the source of the DDOS attack ?
There is enough computer/networking skill in the players of this game to put most country defense services to shame.
Thatād be a reality I would LOVE to see !

Does EVE really have such a small user base that this duration of attack and downtime/degraded performance isnāt news at all? Iāve been searching for any notice at all in gaming forums and just generally and canāt find any mention about it. Seems weird - if anyone knows if this is being reported somewhere (reputable) please let me know.

Was able to connect up to 11am Eastern. Went to work, came back, now everything says:
āCould not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isnāt running, or the server address or port number was wrong. Or CCP.ā
That last bit may have been a hallucination, but the rest is pretty consistent. It just seems to be the login server that is rejecting requests. All the Diagnostic tests work out OK or at least about the same as usual. Sample:

This after extended maintenanceā¦Coincidence???
Iāve had almost no access for two days now - Can we please have some updates as to whatās going on?
Actually the Minmatar computer scientists who were working on the servers didnāt use good duct tape to attach the hampsters to the server. I sent them a fresh batch via PushX.
