I am sorry that you feel that my opinion is not useful in helping with this situation. I very much enjoy hearing from everyone about how everyone feels about pretty most everything at any time. I am sure that you will feel free to generate more discussion on this subject with your viewpoints since perhaps discussion generated by a myriad of conflicting viewpoints may cause the truth eventually to become known to more of us.
Thank you for your praise of CCP karkur since genuine praise can inspire even more heights of accomplishment from those who are working hard to provide everyone such a wonderful game experience to all of us. Thank you kind sir!

This is on my all chats on all accounts.
Any idea how to fix it?
EVE used to be $20 on Steam, then after the Odyssey update in 2013, it went on sale for $5 on Steam and thatâs when I finally stopped waiting around due to my anti-MMO bias and jumped in. Been subbed on 1 or 2 or 3 accts ever since, for 5+ years.
So there was an up-front cost, albeit with 30 days of sub time included, to start out playing back then. No alphas, ofc, either, just the time-limited trial.
AFAIK, CCP only mentioned something once, around end of May/early June (Abyss update) about SP coming soon for March issues once things get straightened out⌠guess that didnât happen till late July/early August⌠the problem is, the SP was for the March chat system revamp patch day issues that lasted that whole week. If everyone who was affected that week had gotten 250k SP a week or two later, all the people complaining of missing out now months later would have been none the wiser and not feeling like theyâd missed out, since the SP would have already been in the past for them after they started being active.
It was the nearly half-year delay between the issue and the SP gift that is causing jealousy and that left-out feeling. But yeah, they need to realize that this was not supposed to be for the entire last 6 months of issues on and off but for very specific issues in March, hence the way CCP distributed the SP gift.
I find it utterly redunkulous to assume that at the precise moment nc dropped in all their titansâŚthis ddos attack began. 50% of nc titans dcâed at that point. is ccp gonna refund 19 titans?..i think not unless they belonged to goonswarm. out frigginrageous! i watched on twitch as it happened.
This game is now crashing every 1 minute with Socket Crashes.
This is making the games unplayable.
I use 100mb broadband so I know it isnt this
Get this problem SORTED
Iâve been sitting in game for the past six hours.
Itâs not the CCP servers crashing you out, itâs a node in the net between you and CCP somewhere, or if the DDoS mitigation is still running itâs because a lot of attacks came from very near you (which is basically a node between you and CCP). So in either case, itâs not CCPâs doing.
Yes, and no. In relation to the DDOS measures the routes between customers, CCPâs DDOS mitigation partner and CCPâs cluster are a topic.
But there is also the topic of all the infrastructural and services changes. Like the chat server, which is so distributed that it pretty much defeats its purposes by introducing tons of weak points. Also the ESI server structure still has its issues.
CCP recognises all this, and makes efforts to tackle it. But it is a very complex set of challenges.
Oversimplifying and writing it all off on customers isnât the best approach âŚ
Your hatred for goons has blinded you it seems. Maybe chill out a bit and read my post again so you recognize it was a sarcastic joke. Maybe you can borrow this handy tool from me too⌠for free on top of that:
thus all happenings are 123% legit.
