So,

Servers caught fire, Character data was lost.
Everyone's given blank characters with unallocated SP and a bunch of isk.

What's the first thing you do when you log back in to a blank slate!

So, your saying germany decides to firebomb london again at the SAME TIME iceland turns into volcanic slag because the glaciers melted?

Because I see no other way that both london burns to the ground AND we lose the extra backups in iceland

I think London's more at risk of having the few remaining parts bought up by oligarchs and turned into a Russian colony than being firebombed again

I wouldn't know because I would be too busy trying to survive whatever worldwide calamity prevented them from doing as simple database restore.

I'd convince as many people as I could to spend their SP deep into minmatar so that everyone ends up flying around nid's instead of archons.

Then start manufacturing duct tape by the millions and wait for the 30 day warranties on their ships to run out.

They said they could not figure out the total assets in game because the server goes in maintenance before a check can complete. For all we know, it might be impossible to fully restore and they are totally silently banking on this never happening.

I think in this situation, we'd probably have to worry more about whether Eve is going to come back online in time for us to remember what this was all about.

I would rush to the forums and start a hypothetical thread about "What if the servers hadn't caught fire or all our data was safe on backups?" and play Eve only in that thread.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

log in, load up all the skills i lost in to the skill queue until i hit the new limit, then log out again.

I'd do what I actually just did a few months ago, create a toon, train it to use a stealth bomber then send it to do faction warfare missions and make more isk than any noobs needs in a matter of a few weeks training time.

Or

Get a tech 1 scanning frig and go make isk hacking sites.

Or

Train up for a Naga with named guns and run missions in high or low sec.

It's so ridiculously easy to start EVE and make isk now compared to when I started it's not even funny.
