Okay so WHAT WAS the omega price increases and plex price increases? I heard about that major news recently, especially people ranting about it on the general forums.

Gold Fingure try logging in again. I AM FINALLY IN GAME, after no connectivity for 8 hours…

OFFICIAL REPLY FROM A GM, about the issue! :::

**GM Ruinista** (EVE Online)

Hello there, GM Ruinista here.

Thank you for contacting EVE Player Experience.

While our server is working correctly it appears that players from your region are affected by some sort of ISP outage. Although there isn’t much that CCP Games can do to fix these kinds of issues, due to now owning the affected network infrastructure, we are still working to see if there is anything we can do on our end to solve this.

I apologize for any inconvenience this is causing, and I kindly ask you to try to log in again in about half an hour or so. If you need further assistance please let me know.

Best Regards,  
GM Ruinista  
CCP Player Experience EVE Online

I’ve been having the same problem today. I’m in the US and for me `tranquility.servers.eveonline.com` hits a Cloudflare POP in San Jose (you can tell from the “colo” field in [https://eveonline.com/cdn-cgi/trace](https://eveonline.com/cdn-cgi/trace)).

I can traceroute to the Cloudflare endpoint just fine, but when I connect to `tranquility.servers.eveonline.com 26000` there’s no handshake from the Eve server.

This is not a problem with my ISP, it’s a problem CCP needs to raise with Cloudflare as their customer.

Cloudflare had some trouble in SJC earlier today and they claim it’s been fixed for ~9 hours [Cloudflare Status](https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/#past-incidents) - but apparently something is still busted there and maybe it’s specific to CCP. Probably not CCP’s fault but I think we need their help to get to the bottom of it. ☹
