Hello,

After a 10month break i've decided to play EVE again. When i did some reading i realized i was already 2 expansions late (3 if you count Empyrian Age, stopped 3-4 days after it was released), i thought i was going to have alot of problems patching.

But, after logging in, followed the prompt to download a patch, which was around 1.3-1.5GB, followed by a 13MB one, both of which ran smooth. The 1st bump i ran into was acquiring the bulk data, stuck at 20ish iirc.

I followed the prompts put on the login screen, downloaded then patched it thru(which im sure i got right o.O), and got the game running...for approximately 9 minutes before i was disconnected. Tried many times back to back to no avail. Login fails at "Entering game as Magnarion" (bar fills up, music changes from login screen music to ingame music and is suspended there forever." <--forever being more than 30 minutes.

This went on for around 10 hours, I finally logged in again just, and again, after 9-10 minutes of game play (with substantial amount of lag in the process) I was booted from the server again, then everything reverted back to what i faced in the morning- login failing/freezing at "entering game" part.

No idea what went wrong. Is there a problem with my computer? or did it patch wrongly? or is it the server itself? Would really appreciate it if someone could shed some light : /

P/s: Did anyone manage to get some smooth, uninterrupted gameplay since the release? or is everyone running around like headless chickens?
