21 day old n00b here but it seems to me that updating the forum thread isn't very useful when it is every bit as unreachable as Tranquility.

Having a media person keeping twitter & facebook updated would have been much more useful I think.

They had updates via twitter, and their facebook pointed to twitter for the updates.

As an incident and demand manager I know just how hectic and crazy things must have been over at CCP.
Mad respect and lots of love for everyone dedicated to bringing the game back. You guys rock!


Small-business network tech here -- lost a server last year due to hardware failure. We had to build one from parts and restore (manually) from a two-year-old offsite backup.

CCP, you guys just cemented my trip to Fanfest next year -- I want to shake your hands for the dedication you've shown to your players in the past twenty-four hours. :)

I can't get rid of my darn signature!  Oh, wait....

well good work to you all ccp alts working hard on posting praising messages to yourselves in forums and twitter/facebook. If you dont want to be refunded for your lost time, its your choice. Yesterday was a weekend day i intended to spend by playing some eve. When i want to "get outside", "enjoy my RL", i do not pay for this game. Yes those CCP programmers supposedly worked yesterday too ( altough i have some doubts since they claim they took down their servers on purpose after discovering the DDoS, however there was no usual warning in game "put your pilot to safety etc" ), BUT THEY ARE PAID FOR THAT. BY US. So stop k***ing a*s and do not pretend you are real paying players. You are pathetic.

**** it, unscheduled downtime, may as well roll out Odyssey early :P



I agree its june 3 now and server is still offline , might as well roll out Odyssey , instead of double extended downtime on june 4.


Dosn't work quite like that. Thats adding complexity to a bad situation. 1st get the system up and running, then run root cause analisys, then there is the incident reports, then there is the fix what ever was the root cause was to prevent it happening again. Then you can look at making changes like rolling out Odyssey. If anything this may delay any roll outs if CCP use ITIL.

Hacker group LulzSec, the same group that's attacked Sony and Nintendo in the past, has tweeted that it's committed three distributed denial of service attacks against gaming companies today, bringing down EVE Online's Tranquility server, Minecraft's multiplayer services, and the Escapist Magazine's website. EVE Online's CCP has confirmed both the outage and the attack, the Escapist is unreachable at the moment, and Minecraft creator Notch says that things were down, but supposedly service has been restored.

LulzSec hasn't shared a reason for the attacks just yet, but we can only guess it's, as they say, "for teh lulz."

Update: The group has gone after Riot Games' League of Legends servers as well. Attempting to log in to the game gives a "server busy" message, though there's no official word from the company yet.

CCP's trying to handle some serious "blob warfare". But in all seriousness, hoping for the best. I had skill queues coming out today. Cry

The servers havent gone back up yet for anyone, so AU tz can feel just as hard done by as the bitching americans, im pretty sure the forums going back up is a sign that all will be back to normal in New Eden soon, you can then set your ice mining alts and your macro and go AFK again.


If you are going to say "bitching americans" you can at least capitalize Americans, it is after all proper.

Oddly enough, it sounds like you are the one doing the bitching, and in a way that is extremely sarcastic which makes it that much more bitchy.


I'm guessing you American. Your primetime was RUINED. Your already pissing me off...


My Government is American, I'm a Human

And my prime time starts when the server is up. =)

Most likely, a huge percentage of the people that play EVE are American, which is most likely why you think all Americans *****. But you are the one speaking English, and bitching about Americans. Seems ironic to me.

I do happen to agree however that people shouldn't be bitching about the down time, specially being that it wasn't CCP's fault at all. While I do agree with that, I don't agree with your attitude towards Australians and Americans, or any other nationality for that matter. In this one place in the entire world where people can exist without racial or national bias, without religious bias, without regard to all those worldly things that cause unreasonable conflict such as skin color, etc, you feel the need to insult specific people, and for what purpose?


1. I speak English as i was born, raised and have lived all my life in England, where i think the English language originated from.

2. You think America is a place without religious bias, where people exist without racial bias, hahaha i seriously hope your being 100% sarcastic!!!
