The final battle against the Sansha invaders has begun, 650 in local and massive alliance carrier spam.
It seems CCP forgot to reinforce the server sadly...

Update:
Yeah, it looks like CCP didn't reinforce the server at all, we are having 10-15 minutes of lag.
Sansha-aligned forces were already on the field with dozens of capitals, our fleet, Operation Bad Moon, looks like it is going to be wiped out - all 230 of us. Doubtful if we will inflict significant losses on them, since most people can't even load the system.
UPDATE EDIT:
The node just crashed. So gay.

I just relogged in Maut. There are only 420 pilots left in local, so we can presume some serious carnage is taking place.
UPDATE:
Less than a minute since it was 420, it is now down to 370.
UPDATE:
Now down to 310. The local count is falling like a rock.

Now down to 250 in local... local chatter is rather angry that it wasn't sufficiently reinforced...
I'd say the Sansha are going to win, simply because NPCs probably won't be affected by lag...

Well, it looks like Operation Bad Moon was completely wiped out. Nobody knows if we got any kills. The lag was terribad, far beyond our expectations.
Nice event CCP.
EDIT: It also looks like the hostile Nyxes were warped away using exploits...

The really big mistake our FC made was to have us all warp at 0km to the hostile cyno. I was one of the first to land, and it took a full minute to load the grid. Some never loaded it at all. There were probably 30+ carriers waiting for us, and we got slaughtered.
I don't know if the FC was aware that the node hadn't been reinforced. At the time, I figured that it had, and 600 people wouldn't produce unmanagable lag... in hindsight we should have warped in at like 200km, loaded grid, then attacked. I don't know if we would have done any damage, but we would have at least had a chance.
Also, look at my name - guess who got primaried first?  |
