Please get to a safe spot and dock up at your earliest convenience!

UPDATES:

The issues seem to have been fixed. Tranquility is back online accepting connections! We are going to monitor the situation, so please do let us know if you run into any more issues.

16:21 UTC
Tranquility reboot initiated.

Didn’t CCP say in the past that they outsourced the chat service from the TQ server to prevent this from happening? :thinking:

Yes I believe Chat is hosting on AWS. Stuff happens, tech etc getting Borked.

The usual fix, turn it off then on again - always works

To be clear, the root cause is not with chat. It did not, however, recover from another outage. There were other systems that did not properly recover as well but the most noticeable symptoms to players are issues with chat and to resolve them a reboot is needed.

Not just local chat, it’s all chat channels bro

No Chat for Null Sec would be fine!

Ban all comms channels, we gotta use hand-signals out of the space-windows to communicate and telescopes to see!

IT people hate this one trick.

I mean, we use it, and understand why it works as well as it can. But we hate that we can’t get a better solution.

(Inconsistent states can be an absolute nightmare to debug)
