I just wanted to say that the CCP engineers rock. Thanks for your hard work and dedication getting the servers back up.

You guys deserve a raise, some well deserved time off and a new coffee pot!

Dont get me wrong, yes I dont like ppl doing these ddos attacks but when it comes right down to it, ccp is a very public creature and should expect these things( have plans for it )
That said, we ( the players ) cant do much more then trust their word that it actually was a ddos attack...

Last time we got 50k SP for what seemed like a minor thing, this time around it was rather massive so I expect to see the reimbursement go up too.

news post

and for the love of EVE... stop using SOON!!!



What a complaining git, join a corp so can wardec ya Big smile aren't you just happy that eve back up so you can get back to your mining in hi sec

CCP did great job keeping our info safe and secure and getting EVE back on track, no complaints here part from the complaining ppl that want free stuff for nothing

I cant figure out how a company as big as ccp did not put any safe guards in-place to stop this from happening. Its not like it was the first time they were attacked via DDOS. I think this is the second if not third time (I know there was one in 2011)

I am not very happy with CCP right now...Depending how my petition goes I may just cancel my account out right...and NO you cant have my stuff.



What The F*** are you waffling about?

Quote:
re-activation fee


I have paid for game time with,

PayPal
Credit card
Plex
30 day GTC
60 day GTC
The old fashioned secure GTC for isk
even hours for plex
Oh lets not forget rolling charge direct from my bank account

And i have NEVER paid a re-activation fee

So you are either
(a) Full of Sh**
(b) having your pants pulled down by CCP

I'll go out on a limb here and say you are the former.

Nice Job CCP doing damage control. Can't help but to think you asked for it opening EVE up to the Hackers of China. I mean they are hacking EVERYTHING to rob it all over the world .
Did you think ," it won't happen to us".
I know you could profit from doing business in China and that's what business is about but if my account details are now floating around in the computer of some Chiness criminal I'll be none to happy with you folks.
Any way , Good job , get your act together and PROTECT MY ACCOUNT!

You... you what?

You stayed up all night for us. You gave up your weekend for us. You updated twitter every 3 hours for us. Your coffee pot valiantly died in the line of duty for us.

You don't need to apologize to us; You need a nap, a raise, and a new coffee pot.

Thanks for the hard work.


Seconded. These morons who complain they paid for a service and want compensation need slapping upside the head. **** happens, and CCP dealt with that ****. Well done pilots, keep up the good work.

I hope they append said policy to include the following: and after our external experts find out where said perpetrators live we will then send our most bad-ass Viking descendants to their mother's (or grandmother's house) and give said perpetrators a righteous punch in the face, Ragnar Lodbrok style.

Can not see any fault with CCP at all in this situation. Training was inactive for about 6 hours, CCP was working their asses off to make sure all was good with eve for a lot longer, no complaints. Keep doing what you are doing guys, you are awesome.

I know there's people in here that played Face of Minkind. Quitte smaller then CCP/EVE, but still , paying monthly to play the game. Thy crumbled, and went bankrupt, after sequential DDoS attacks, making me start playing Eve in November 2007.

Remember that w/e info is posted by CCP, CAN be altered to not show their full hands.. A DDos (or Dos) attack happened, they where aware, and decided to take all services down to PROTECT US.
And got back within 24 hours..

Kudos CCP, you rock !

Since this was down to an attack on CCP's infrastructure I personally feel they did the best, and probably the right, thing.
Whilst I missed my 'Eve Time' I feel that is far preferable to risking having my account trashed etc etc (whether you believe it technically possible or not in this particular circumstance is not the issue here)
So, in my view, the 'compensation' numerous people have been calling for is unnecessary (nice though, provided it's not actually costing CCP real money) some SP are always welcome :)
Thanks CCP, great game, shame people want to screw with it but perhaps it's part of the price of fame.

Thanks for staying up and fixing it! I don't blame you all all and am not mad or anything. I just have one question. When compensation is announced, will it be in a post in eve news, or just given in game? Thanks!
