So, tonight I decided to resub to EVE after a few months break, spent my money and logged in to my usual low sec haunt and decided to run a few sites, first combat site i get a socket error, cant reconnect for 5 minutes and log back in to find my ship with about 9% hull, stump up the ISK for repairs having made no money and done nothing wrong and head out to my next hit, a mul-zatah monastery, killed the 30 cruisers, had about 5-6 missile batteries left and shock horror, socket error on both accounts, log back in, site has despawned so no loot, only yet more repairs.

Summary of my first 2 hours back in EVE, -6 Million ISK in unnecessary repairs, 2 hours of time totally wasted, and I payed actual money for this "pleasure", please CCP get your **** together and stop wasting my time and taking my money for the privilege :)

If you edit your post and say something genuinely nice about CCP I will refund double your repair costs.

If it's more than 500 words I'll refund ten times his repair costs.

Yeah because socket closures must be CCP's fault right OP?

No chance whatsoever that the fault could lie elsewhere.

This thread has a glorious future. 50 pages from now after every CCP dev has weighed in on the issue of socket closures and finally tracked down that one little thing they just couldn't wrap their head around and eliminated disconnects for all time, we will sing your praises, OP.

Who knew? All CCP needed was just one . . . more . . . thread.

We are forever indebted to you, good sir.

Got links to anything current?

Anything on CCPs twitter?
Any sticky thread here informing anyone of server issues?
Any current threads from other players on the same issue?

Or just, that "New Topic" button looks so shiny, I think I'll whinge and moan and blame CCP without doing any fact finding first.

Socket closures happen. Quite regularly sometimes. Lots of places things can go wrong, including on CCPs end. But not every socket closure is a result of a server issue.

As much fun as it is to be snarky, I actually like Sibyyl's approach better. I just sent you 20 mil to cover your losses + a little extra for your inconvenience.

Do me a favor and not use the forums for pointless spamming that accomplishes nothing. That is not, in fact, what they are for.

Current threads, Go check the Issues forum, didn't take long, the 50 page sticky was fairly easy to find, as was finding at least 2 other threads on the first page, secondly CCP don't advertise problems, they never have, they just deny their existence. CCP's twitter, why bother, and finally, this problem happens only in eve, i can play twenty other online games on servers around the world and never have any problems, thats pretty much a clue its not me or my connection

Every socket closed error I've ever had as been on my end. The other problem I had with the game crashing frequently was completely fixed as soon as I changed my ram. So that was also on my end.

despite what others may say I generally don't believe it is CCP's fault, I mean aside from boot.ini... *ouch*

I tend to find the majority of people facing this issue are playing on WiFi. That was my problem. Once I went LAN, never had it since, except when EVE actually dies for lots of people at once, not just me.

They should really change the name of that error. "Socket Closed" makes it sound like the EVE servers disconnected you intentionally.

Change it up to "Lost connection with server" or something like that.
