Originally by: Kijo Rikki I wonder how they could fix this without screwing people who are legitimately disconnected in dire straits. Can the internets people tell if a connection has been properly closed or if it was an actual dc?
You don't. Get a decent internet connection or do not play multiplayer games. It works like this in every other online multiplayer game. You lag, you lose. There is no reason EVE should be any different.

Most other games don't have (almost) entirely player-driven economies on persistent nodes with nearly unlimited player counts, with non-consentual pvp where your stuff can get jacked by anyone that wants it.
I like all that stuff in eve, it's why I play it and no other MMO for the past half dozen years, but your comparison is hardly apples to apples.
It would be fairly simple though for them to monitor IP blocks/ISPs and if a bunch of people on the same system disappear at once, assume the worst and start the invuln timer -- everyone else gets the shaft.
Sounds fine to me. Don't fly anything you can't afford to lose means, by definition, don't fly anything you can't afford to lose through no fault of your own.
I've seen people lose entire vanq sets in UO to lag. I've seen teams lose 3000$ Quake TDM tourneys because a worldclass player with high latency couldn't hit over 30% rg. I've seen players lose lvl90 d2 hardcore characters to lag.
You make the sad mistake of assuming EVE is the only multiplayer game you can actually lose stuff in.
Other players having an awful internet connection isn't and should never be my problem.

And CCP not having the hardware to support the number of accounts they've sold should not be mine.
CCP caused outages allow you to bypass gatecamps?
And I ignored your... "solution" because it wasn't one.
