Are you a devil or an angel

Sent here from heaven or from hell?

Sweet temptress, I'm wrapped in your tangles

Can't find my way out of your spell

CCP, although DDOS are not your fault, and hard to predict, there are ways to protect yourself against it, instead of waiting for the storm to pass. Cause obviously it is not going to stop, it has been on for close to two weeks now.

Some ISP and company renting servers (OVH for example) have been implementing some firewalls that analyze the traffic and when it becomes too big, redundant routers take the relay to keep the system running while the main one is down. Also some routers are specifically desgined for DDOS and filter a big part of the DDOS by analyzing the type and patterns of request.

You guys are probably working on this already, so good luck o7

Just hope CCP actually has some decent computer forensic employee's and some decent lawyers... The re-occurrence of ddos attacks without news that someone is being prosecuted is just plain annoying. And frankly put they won't stop until something of that nature happens.

I'm in again already, simply bypassed the launcher.

They are dealing with it pretty well....

For the past several weeks, Tranquility has been the target of a persistent series of DDOS attacks, which have been responsible for connection issues that our players have been experiencing.

Up until this point, for security reasons we have been referring to these attacks as “network issues” so as not to provide the attackers with increased visibility. However, we can see that these issues are at times proving to be frustrating for our players, and as such we would like to be more transparent about the issue to allow better understanding of the situation.

Our teams have been working tirelessly to address these attacks, but by their nature they are extremely difficult to predict. We will continue to counter these attacks as they occur, in our efforts to provide you as much uninterrupted internet spaceship fun as possible.

Thank you for your understanding, and apologies for any inconvenience the interruptions have been causing.

<3


Appreciate the update.

I blame the goons personally.

What? Someone was bound to say it eventually. :)


EDIT:

I also have a marvelous idea. If CCP can identify the location of the miscreants doing the DDoS, I say they hand out the addresses and we (the Eve player base as whole) visit said miscreants and collectively kick them in the jimmy or babymaker, depending on which applies.

Look at it this way..

Just suppose you went into a shoe shop and bought some really nice shoes.

And then you went on a stroll with your mates.

Halfway down the road...disaster struck.

The sole fell off...

Off you go to the shoe shop, explain what happened and ask for an explanation.

" It's not our fault "

But I bought them here!

"So"

But it's your fault.

" How? We didn't make the glue "

I bought them from you.

* Go see the glue manufacturer *

But I didn't buy them from them!

" shrug "

I'm presuming you all get the drift?

Well, at least now I know it isn't just me...or just CCP. There are a few other games that are screwed right now as well.
