The launcher is all screwed up again and is in another language.

Can we please know if this is another attack?

Same here - messages in Chinese and English is not select-able as it is the default

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

Last time it was in Russian though. Maybe the Russians are trying to frame the Chinese this time?

Why would the Chinese DDoS us? They have their own server.

I wonder if it is a clever marketing ploy by a local Cantonese restaurant?

Changed language from English to another - then back again to English. Closed the launcher then opened. All in English now

I m waiting for ccp answer,

Maybe it s just a language glitch but i prefer to be cautious,
there could be a link between the last DDoS and launcher modification.

My real question is why anyone would DDoS EvE Online it's not like it's popular. It's called a niche game for a reason. Arrow

I bet Tuxford installed the Ceve client thinking it was on his own computer, but in reality he messed with the server (this has never happened before btw). Better all learn to speak Chinese, in 10-20 years we'll have to anyway.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

My guess would be they didn't.

Apparently Kim ill un got scammed by isk doublers in Jita again. He got everyone in N Korea with an internet connection to launch a mass attack on the CCP servers. Sadly for them, 15 ip addresses just isn't enough so they settled on writing rude political slogans on the launcher, that showed us Lol
