EVE General Discussion

Other mmos are multi shard with their player base spread across multiple server clusters in different areas so a single cluster going down will not effect the entire base. CCP has one massive shard running on a massive server cluster one server going down would effect that. Other mmos can easily roll the effected server to a back up or secondary cluster at another location. WoW can roll a North American server to a different cluster group if one is being attack. T do that with Eve wild be a mountainous challenge and expense of capital.

At the time of posting this no information had been provided as to the cause.

You were given a answer and yet you still had a problem understanding. Should we draw it in crayon for you?

I think there should be a minimum IQ level people should reach before they are allowed to access the internet.

Ah, yes! :)

Your a fine one to talk about IQ aren't you, when you yourself are incapable of reading posts in Chronological Order.


Post #1 - The original Dev post, where Falcon says "everthing is fine"

Post #14 - Where I ask "how come I keep disconnecting"

Post #25 - Where Falcon explains "it's due DDoS Attacks"

Post #34 - Where I thank Falcon and a CSM member for the explanation.

So, as you can see, the ANSWER came AFTER my initial question!
Go back to playing with your crayons troll.

You see Falcon, if you leave it so late to tell the truth and instead reassure everyone there's nothing wrong when there is something wrong (and people are getting more and more fed up of constantly getting disconnected, losing ships and cargo when there's officially 'nothing wrong and nothing to see here-move along') we then sound off when you do come clean. Does annoyance sound better on a Monday than Sunday?

I'd much rather know the problem is a ddos and have some vestigial sympathy for you all than to know there's something wrong but not be informed and treated as if it's the players who are deluded. Why Sir, we pay the wages of CCP staff through our subscriptions. Not saying we own your butt but you understand our collective frustrations nonetheless.

Anyway we've both got things off our chests this morning and I'll have to keep putting up with getting disconnected...

Not knowing what the problem is yet, but seeing that tranquility itself is running fine and posting that information, is not lying.

Posting that they are still looking into the issue is not reassuring people that there is nothing wrong.

Reading comprehension isn't that difficult. Simply put aside your prejudices and read what is written, taking time to look up any difficult words that might confuse.

Is this something happening to EU based Players as well? I have not expirienced any problems (then again I was maybe just not online during the server problems?)

Exactly what part of what I said was childish?
If you are referring to other people, you do realise many people are actually children that play eve right?
Some of them legally, and some just mentally, but the fact remains. If you pay for performance and that contract is not being fulfilled, then you have the right to ask why, when it will be fixed, and what compensation they intend to make for breaching the contract.

For some people, a simple "we're sorry for the inconvenience" isn't sufficient.

If you actually ever held a job, you'd know that when you promise something where money changes hands, you provide it, or you make remedy (like a refund, or a discount, or some other form of restitution). Welcome to contracts and you 101.

A consumer (in any field) has the right to demand remedy when a service they paid for isn't met as per the agreement.

CCP Falcon just saying "oops sorry, we're working on it" [paraphrased], obviously isn't satisfactory for some people, in fact I'm willing to bet a bit more communication might make people less annoyed and less likely to demand remedy. "Oops we're working on it" [paraphrased] works for about 1 day, then you need to start communicating.

As it stands now, there is no indication of how CCP intend to make restitution to those that were affected.
