I was able to play again this morning, however, I am unable to login now. Same error with the Socket Closed upon entering as any of my characters.

I live in the Pacific Time Zone, and I get the "Socket Closed" error fairly consistently in the morning here. After noon (around 20:30 Eve Time), the problem seems to stop, and I have no trouble logging in for the rest of the day. Don't know if this pattern will continue.

So far i gather people can randomly logon and randomly get kicked after a while. I do think this need attention and that it won't just poof without a relevant update from CCP.

Yeah...I have 6 accounts can't get into game with any character on any account.
Get to character selection screen no problem, then after screen goes blank/black for 60 seconds then info window comes up;
"Connection Lost" with reason of "The socket was closed".
Live in North America - Eastern Time Zone.
Have been shut out for a day now from the evening March 1 to now March 2 evening.
Can't even submit a ticket from account log in. Wouldn't take a ticket from general inquiry either.
This is actually 5th attempt to try and even post on forum

As far as the cache goes, I have done that more than a dozen times, and it doesn't seem to help. Repair tool a couple times too.

I tried logging on multiple times early afternoon, EST, to no effect.

A little while ago I was able to log on with one character after 3 or 4 failed attempts. I did not clear the cache or use the repair tools, so that seems unrelated to me.

I was able to get in this morning then I made the mistake of logging off. Wanted to warn you guys that if you do get in, do not log off if you want to play later. Next time I get in I will be leaving my PC on overnight! Good luck guys and fly safe!

Edit: While I was in game I did put in a ticket and all the GM would tell me is that "they were aware of certain connectivity issues affecting multiple users". He didn't really elaborate.

It's evening of the same day of this last post, and I am blocked from logging back in. So I think that everyone needs to make sure that they set long skill training while this DDOS problem persists. Eventually, CCP will find a way around it, but it is definitely going to be a problem for the foreseeable future.

I'm pretty sure the DDoS was over Friday and they took off for the weekend with a half finished job.

Having the same issues since Friday, launcher takes 30 seconds or so to log in, then I get a black screen after character selection which typically stays, with a popup every 5 minutes stating that a request is taking longer than expected to complete.

I was able to log in just fine recently by using a US-Based VPN server. I also tried a Euro VPN server, but oddly enough I had the same issues there - since I live in East Coast US.

Same Same, No different...

Au/EST log in time - multi accounts many take 3 to 10 attempts to actually get passed the initial log on toon select page.

What makes it worse and hence me posting here was my client froze / crashed while in a mission with a the ole Tengu, then do you think i could log back in??

No, 3 computers later, a mashed in stress ball and a bottle of Blue and all i had left was a pile of Tech 3 bits...

Booo CCP... Booo

Roll

Update - Got Booted and Now none of my accounts can log into Eve. "Connection Lost - Socket was closed"

I too ran into this issue while trying to log in. I tried clearing a cache but the error appears to be the same..

Definitely petition that. You will almost certainly get it back.

My biggest worry about this is my skills, if it doesn't get fixed soon I won't be able to update my skillque and i'm going to loose out on time trained.. over 20 attempts later and I still can't log in.

I mean I'll keep trying to log in because I REALLY don't want to miss out on that. But eventually i'm going to give up.

I'm not overly worried about skill queues because that's easy for them to verify. However a ship lost to a disconnect... How do you verify the cause of a disconnect?

Also i'm doing a 2 week skill atm so... I feel your pain, but i'm glad it's not me.
