Next phase of Chat Blackout has started: CCP now closes random chats on whim. I just lost Alliance chat and a host of other player generated chats and the Chat Channels menu window does not load. EVE System \> Connection to chat server lost ---

I actually dont agree with that. According to the TiS interview @CCP_Falcon is as much to blame as is Hillmar and the rest of CCP. ---

LOL ok. CCP Falcon is little more than the poor bunny sent out by his family to draw the hunters away from everyone else in the den.,. Sadly Eve development is run along the same lines as wars hundreds of years ago, those in charge sit in cosy tents having their boots polished while the men get “sent over the wall” as little more than sacrificial lambs to the slaughter. Blame CCP Falcon if you will but please remember who it was put him on the front line and gave the orders - to go over the wall and die at the hands of disgruntled players. - Just collected all my free login SP on all my accounts - I hope it helps with CCP’s “look we have soooo many players online so what we’re doing is working” statistics. ---

You will probably find a lot of the number that’s gone are banned bot accounts or bot accounts being abandoned as bots cant operate as they used to anymore when their programs cant auto dock as soon as something not blue comes in system. ---

I’m honestly struggling to see how the loss of local is affecting so many people. I’m not even noticing it honestly. The fact that people became so risk averse is frankly appalling. Keep doing the Lords Work CCP, all things get worse before they get better.
