Just curious, is it purely magic/good luck? I saw there was still ~600 people when most of people disconnected while the server is not shut down. The related pod is killed as well, so I assume it is not due to drones auto fighting. > **[Condor | killer ib | Killmail](https://zkillboard.com/kill/71303099/)** > > killer ib (True Qin Empire) lost their Condor in FIO1-8 (Fade) Total Value: 3,850,793.37 ISK > **[Capsule | killer ib | Killmail](https://zkillboard.com/kill/71303101/)** > > killer ib (True Qin Empire) lost their Capsule in FIO1-8 (Fade) Total Value: 10,000.00 ISK ---

This **used** to be a rare occurence. Now it seems like players have issues on an almost daily basis. So in answer to your question, it didn’t used to be a common problem. The irony is that there were also easily twice as many players online at any given time as well… ---

It’s the Brexit. Most hamsters are expats and feel uneasy thinking of the future, and that causes server hiccups. ---

Servers are totally ■■■■■■ these days. I notice it almost every day, for example, client 1 has no issues, client 2 has lag and broken local. There are 80 ppl in system and client 2 shows only 3 … I have pretty much stopped playing because of this. A reliable server is the most basic feature of an online game, if CCP cant provide one, their game is not worth my time and money. ---
