If it's of any interest - I noticed that searches for places started returning zero results about 1/2 hour before the outage.

Er guys you might find it useful to buy some of this and put it near your servers. I mean, once in a while.

Ok It is 1128am here in blighty having just finished a lovely pair of bacon cobs with the prerequisite tomato sauce and a nice cup of coffee I boot up Eve in the hopes of maybe wasting a couple of hours to see my Eve is not accepting connections..I assumed the problem listed in this thread had been resolved, any confirm or deny?

Ninja edit restarted the client and I'm in

Bah i log in after a few days off for chemo therapy and i think my client is broken. Spend 30 minutes in launcher console and repair til I come here lol. And also for the record my cancer didnt cause this.

Apparently hisec acted as lowsec leading up to the downtime; so concord did nothing, when people logged out they just sat there... I imagine there would have been massacres.

Give a man a match and you warm him for a day.

Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!

EVE Online ‏@EveOnline

This is looking to be a potential hardware issue. More updates soon as we learn more. Sorry for the current lack of pew pew!

Please eleborate.

How on earth would a single isolated hardware issue, be a problem to your servers? I would expect your systems to be redundant??
We have yet to fully investigate this incident but it appears that the redundant systems failed as well.

For the record, RvB asked for CCP's permission before we did our 10,000 rifter thing, and they said it would be ok and supposedly had the server reinforced for it. Obviously it was not reinforced enough.
That was dealt with hours before the outage happened.

It would be nice to have a brief but more detailed explanation other than, "we are having hardware issues." I mean it doesn't need to be a full brief. Either way, glad to see it back up and online I haven't seen a crash this bad in a loooong time. CCP, please keep us informed with the issue in a blog or something. We are PC gamers and though most of us don't fully understand or appreciate the complexities in the creation of EVE, some of us do get the details even if they are a bit technical.

To use a crude metaphor, I can say my computer is having issues. Ok, well that doesnt say anything. I believe CCP is smart enough to know that it is either the ram or HD in a simplistic viewpoint without knowing the actual cause. So maybe like which portion of the hardware failed?
We have yet to complete the investigation on what happened.

The issue was storage related.

That was indeed the first symptom.
