CCP please do not in any form compensate for this attack. do what you can to fix it and defend against them. but giving compensation will just give any shady individual who plays eve the idea that they can send a ddos attack and get free stuff. the vocal few that are crying for free stuff. should realize that compensation would be a bad idea.

again i thank you for protecting our privacy and keeping us in the loop with the situation.

You seriously think that someone would do a DDoS for 50k skill points?

People need to read the EULA. I have no problem with CCP doing what it has to do in order to protect my information. Sony needs to pay attention and stop trying to give away free games when some hackers steal my cc info. Thats BS.

Thanks CCP.

Totally with the OP on this. The entitlement crowd needs to back off and enjoy the incredible universe that CCP has put in front of us.

Given some of the tinfoil-hattery that goes on in GD...this isn't that farfetched.

If it were CCP's fault then yes I think a little 'sorry we screwed up - here's some SP as an apology' is a nice touch, but since it was out of their hands then the self entitled we deserve SP attitude stinks.
How often does this happen, on a monthly basis, or even annually, how much downtime is extra compared to the 30 mins a day that they say they allow for, but quite often it's far less than that.

If it's an average of 20 mins a day, that's 10 mins less than they allow for x 365 - 3,650 mins, or 60hr50min, or a shy over 2.5 days.


Funny thing is you don't see people offering to give CCP extra money for the free time, or offer some sp's back do you? Blink

Yes I'm a 2006 player, so by far not the oldest, but if losing a day's training is that important to you in game, then spare a thought for the oldies who didn't have skill queue, the ones who at times had to either set alarms for stupid o'clock to change skill, or accept the fact that they wouldn't be training as there was nothing they could inject at the time.

If losing a few hours training if your skill queue ran out is that important, then I'd run away from eve cos it gets a lot worse than a few hours of lost skill time Twisted

That 1/365 th of the SP they'll get this year is really going to stunt their growth.

If there are people who'd vote for this guy in any kind of election, i bet there are people who'd ddos a game for the 'benefits'.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

Those script idiots don't need other reasons to mess with other people than their huge pre puberty ego and the conscienceless of their actions or the consequences . Let them be, ignore idiots, let them return to their frustrated life and move somewhere else get some important internet existence.

i couldn't enjoy this incredible universe for 1 day (from 18:00 of June 2nd to 19:00 of June 3rd).
Because of downtime.

Am not speaking about any compensations. Just pointing flaw in your advice.

All I see are the vocal trolls, demanding that noone be compensated in order to cause tears.

you should check my age i barely have 1.5m sp. i would love a infusion of free sp. but in this situation it is not warranted. and face it if there was any sp compensation it would be 24 hours worth. and that would be around 60k at max remap. that is really not that big of a deal.

there is too much self entitlement in this world. people really need to just suck it up and roll with the punches.

and yes this is my main so bring on the grief. i will throw rifters at your face all day.

The tinfoil is strong with this one.

Compensating players who werent able to play on sunday is the best choice they make in my opinion.

Although it wasnt their fault that the servers crashed, it is their responsibility to keep them up.
As a company it is also their responsability to asure majoraty of the clients are happy with the service.

Its not like they are sacrificing their liives for you, they do it because you are paying their rents,food etc...
May sound a bit blunt but its reality.
