That would be very nice of CCP if they could do so. Omega extension for each day EVE was unconnectable.
still cant log in (3 days with no access).
can someone please explain me how can it be this long (some talking about a week or more) how can a ddos attack be this persistent?
Free VPN give so little bandwidth it is impossible to play. I have tried them.
If you are a good person, then you donât need a VPN. Just log in as usual!
In God we trust!
since the patch yesterday, feb 4th est. i have been unable to log in more than 1 account at a time, ive gotten errors:
cannot copy files for tranquility while clients are running, the game is fully downloaded and patched.
game client start up for xxxx skipped as game client for this user is already running, obviously there isnt.
i also receive a confirmation that a client has been added to the launcher but nothing ever happens. ive also tried staggering the clients out further 5 m to 15 min.
my singular client that does manage to launch runs without problems other than chat errors and a very rare dc

Multiple account-mining is not alowed anymoreâŚ
2 accounts are fine so!
still been having a lot of connection issues. when trying to log in either 1 or more charâs it takes me around 20 min to actually log in, some times it crashâs on the initial connection sometimes it dose not load char screen for 10+ min, and even after selecting a char I have had it give me a black screen for over 10 min before actually showing me the game even after the char select screen⌠after which i normally get disconnected within 10 min. I have also been having it take me over 2 min to jump between systemsâŚ
in short the current status for me is basically unplayable and extremely unstable both connecting and once connected not to mention other issues such as chat etc
Issue: In-game Chat Not Working Properly
Status: ON-GOING
Comment: We made changes that should help restore the chat functionality. Please report any odd in-game channel behavior in this thread.

- This is not the chaos you are looking for⌠thanks for the game and the stuffâ˘. Still seeing east coast issues with lag and login but got lots completed around the house :p⌠thanks to all who put in long hours⌠bought a pack or two to help with skills and show support
it would be cool if you could suspend Jump Fatigue for a month and maybe give JB 20 more LYâs distance for a month or two.
DDoS is an attack by computers, lots of them. Of course, no one in his right mind would consent to be a criminal to attack a game, or even something as simple as a web site. But then what if they donât know they are attacking? What if that prize notification you clicked on allowed a download of a trojan horse which runs whenever you turn on your computer? Suppose further that the Trojan Horse (TH) program goes out to Internet relay chat to a secret chat room, and awaits instructions, along with perhaps 4-6,000 other compromised computers running TH?
Well, in the past the THs were simple, just load the front page of a web site repeatedly, very fast. All those connections would overflow the number of connection handlers and would be queued, then when someone legitimate tried to connect, heâd be competing with all those queued bogus connections, and his client side software would eventually say time had run out and drop the connection (but the request remains queued). Now even legitimate connection seekers become part of the problem.
So why not track down the scalawags? Well, their computer is not part of the direct attack. Instead, they are connecting to this secret chat room with a secret password and giving instructions to the TH zombie slave computers. Not impossible to trace if you can unscramble the code, at least to that secre3t chat room. Then you have to subpoena some server logs for an IRC chat server⌠Usually by the time you get them, everything has disappeared. Microsoft made this easier for the black hat crackers by supplying a facility to remotely uninstall software (typical excuse: âWe need a means of removing illegal software from our systemâ) Which of course only Microsoft had access to (for at least 3 minutes after the release of the feature). When this DDoS is done, expect TH to be removed from all the culprit computers and maybe later a new version installed.
Of course this DDoS is different . Windows Firewall has been recruited to close off some of the ports EVE uses, and you have to force them open if you are using Win 10 latest update. And EVE isnât just a web site, and it makes connections on many ports. So someone halfway competent has to have been involved in crafting this DDoS, because it is hitting all those ports, queueing up socket requests and so on.
The âprofessionalâ mitigations techniques arenât working very well because this attack is an Order of magnitude more sophisticated. Quite frankly, the resources that went into this suggest a government involved with the amount of resources dedicated and sophistication of coding.
Conspiracy theroists, ARISE! Time to speculate! Obviousdly your favorite past time. Consider that the servers recently moved to South Korea. What Government benefits from their embarassment?

This could have been caused by Drifters making it out into the network stack. Better prepare, because they are coming for your router next!
Things have greatly improved for me . even on one of my less than optimal network. chat is consistent. this morn it failed to load , but been playing all afternoon and evening , loading consistantly . havent had any discos since yesterday and that was my fault. been logging in consistently from the launcher successfully this afternoon and evening.
East Cost US.
Day 2 of stable connection, chat was not working on some alpha accounts.
Today⌠noticed the alpha went into login screen without the error message showing up⌠decided to try the omegas. All 12 chars were able to login without error message (I decided to minimize the impact from my usual 3 omega clients at once, to just 2 at once).
I never got the error screen, all went into the login screen nicely.
2 of the omega logins⌠got into no chat, the other 10 did the login into an actual chat. However, 2 of them, lost the chat server connection while I was using them.
I see progressâŚ
Just got the following errors on login:

yeah, nice, exactly what we need in Null 
its even worse than blacked out channels when you count with an attack. Now are ppl in system you just dont see in local and others you do - nice

My game seems to be back to normal. Good luck to everyone else.
My accountâs MCT is about to run out and at the same time Iâm growing tired of waiting for skills (fairly new to this game and never played a game that has such a long term scope like EVE) so Iâm inclined to get a bunch of plex to buy injectors and another MCT in one go.
But given the issues weâve been having it seems like letting it lapse and waiting till itâs properly fixed is the better option but at the same time it would hamper character progression even more. Itâs not like Iâm actively playing much atm (partially because of this issue and partially because I got myself RDR2 to keep myself busy while waiting for skills).
I only started playing EVE a few months ago and Iâm hating it already: itâs annoying and difficult to get in to but also alluring and interesting at the same time 
I donât know what to do.
To be honest, outside of mining ops, multiboxing is a pain in the butt.
If I could find adult, reasonable, reliable players to join a scheduled mining fleet and show up when it was time to go, I wouldnât bother, but the player base doesnât support that.
So I multibox.
The biggest benefit isnât having six ships online at one time.
Itâs having all those toons to set up manufacturing and PI jobs.
You may not be up on current legal decisions, but âOK boomerâ has been ruled actionable by the US Supreme court.
It came up during oral arguments in Noris Babb v. Robert Wilkie, Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Watch yourself with that. I know it feels cute and trendy, but itâs officially âagistâ now.
