It might be that the socket was closed. Just a guess though.

Sorry for the troll replies, but they did make me laugh. Most likely a problem with your router or internet connection. I had the same problem over and over a few days ago, restarted my router and modem and it fixed the problem. In techy terms "socket is closed" is just a fancy way of saying that the session was disconnected and for whatever reason could not be reestablished.

If it keeps happening I would call your ISP.

Exit eve.

unplug cable modem.

wait 5 minutes.

plug back in.

play eve.



Works for me every time.

Closed sockets are usually on your end, NOT CCPs.

Edit: added the word "usually".

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

That's not always true, but in most cases the problem is beyond CCP's influence. Usually when it's a problem on CCP's end there will be masses of people affected and CCP will become aware of it fairly quickly.

If you don't want the socket to close, please stop opening it.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
