It sucked not being able to get into the game, I probably missed a skill switch or two, but I am truly impressed with the way CCP not only worked to fix the issue but to also keep players in the loop.

HAH! Correction - I have days left to train on two and am going to squeak by on the third with 23 minutes.

Thanks for the hard work. Sorry, some jerk ruined your weekend. Feel free to wait a day before releasing Odessey since now my battle cruiser skill won't finish in time ;)

Thanks to CCP staff, developers, admins, technical experts and consultants for giving up your weekend to take care of this issue. It can't be said enough how much we as players appreciate your hard work and contributions, especially in a time as stressful as a prelaunch phase for your upcoming expansion.

Myself and others salute you for your hard work for the past 24 hours, and for your upcoming efforts in launching Odyssey. You have our respect and admiration, and you deserve a kick*** vacation.

Thanks again for making space a little safer for your grateful audience.

They say he who has most to gain is most likely the one responsible. You (CCP) recently kindly gave out free SP for a minor delay in service. This set a precedent. I would look to those requesting more free SP as having orchestrated this to gain a commodity otherwise impossible to acquire. Time.
If you look, those persons of interest are the population of EVE Online. It may also be someone who is trying to frame said persons of interest not from within that group; namely, people who are not the population of EVE Online.
I am glad you won our server back in either case. Thank you for bringing the single most corrupt economy in the known universe back to its inmates.
PS may I have my free SP for my anonymous tip as to who is responsible please? send to The Kopt anonymously.
Also another SP reward for my down-time.
Thank You.

A big thank you to everyone at CCP for your efford and diligence in this matter!



Looking forward to the next extended downltime tomorrow...

It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the passing of your brave coffee-maker. I think we all desire justice, a fiery righteous justice be done in it's name upon the horrid perpetrators of this vile act. In other words, thanks for doing what you do Ladies and Gentlemen of CCP. Please stay classy and may your next few weekends be extra-joyous to compensate you for this missed "fun-time"

Just a quick thank you CCP for sorting this mess out in record time.

And next time make sure someone feeds the dam hampster's before you lock up for the week end.

I really hope your post isn't suggesting that CCP should somehow bow to the demands of people who claim they lost a ship.

Most likely it was one of the many mentally constipated children who wish they were educated enough to call themselves a hacker, who used someone's botnet and don't even really understand what they were doing, that committed the attack. I think, to be honest, these types of attacks are rather pathetic, although obviously destructive. Now days it doesn't take much because someone has made available a program that can wreak havoc with very little effort.

There are even botnets for sale

I don't understand why people insist on blaming CCP, or suggesting it was something that CCP did to upset someone. Most likely this is exactly what the perpetrators of this DDoS attack did this for, so that you, and all others upset with CCP for not being able to pilot their toon became angry with CCP, or thought that CCP should change their SOP to compensate someone a ship.

This isn't hacking by the way, this is terrorism. Hacking is pulling a prank, or at least that's what it originally meant. For me it meant being able to figure out how to use a computer system during a period of time when there did not exist books on the subject. We gained access to systems then explored and learned about them, we didn't destroy them, or harm them in any way. The children now days who claim to be hackers are no more than terrorists attempting to force other people to conform to their idea of how things should be by committing these electronic forms of terrorist attacks.

Place the blame where it should be placed, and stop trying to reason that this could somehow be CCPs fault, because it isn't.

I spent the days re-viewing all the video blogs. Classified Cosmonaut Program rocks....... also CCP Guard please get another video done, even my wife (non-Eve player) giggled through most of them.


Thx for fixing our game.
