Ok, but not good enough for me. The game is great, the mechanics not. Sort it as this goes on to long in my book.
You said it yourself...."weeks, months"
Not happy to say, but i pay for it, and i want gaming time for my money, not downtime.

Well, just hit the 'cancel subscription' button, it's the only effective way to voice your concerns.

Server coming back up... I would recommend being careful for the first 20 minutes though - in case they haven't quite fixed the problem.

Just A question regarding the server probs.
Is this why It takes 1.84 Mb of data to reach the char selection screen now - Im asking as Im using a gps connection overseas and Its costs me ú10.00 per Mb. Some word on this would be most appreciated.

At 20.08 today, a lot of players got disconnected from the server. I think many can confirm that - when I was logging back in about 20-30 minutes later, there were only 2500 players online, which would suggest 8-9 thousand were disconnected. When the disconnection occurred, the eve-online pages were inaccessible as well. Some additional information is in this thread. |

I know there was a big drop at 20:00. It happened to me ... but I still can't get on ... authenticates, restarts, connection to server lost.
Still can't get on - 10.5 hours later - what gives guys ?
I've reinstalled EVE, changed firewall settings, DMZd, tracerouted - I get a server status, Both test and live tell me how many people are online, as soon as I connect - bang connection to server lost.

I had one some time ago, it kept dieing. 
As for the problem yesterday, at 2000, it seems like there was some big internet related problem in London. I'm not 100% sure, but if it was it's not CCPs fault.

Does it being CCP's fault have any bearing on reimbursals or not?
After almnost 2 years of this game I'm reaching breaking point, sadly I've lost confidence in CCP.
Great concept though and I hope (still) things get sorted.
(And can I have my ship back please?  )

Reimbursements is up to the GMs, I can't answer any questions about that. You can go and read the Reimbursement Policy to get an idea of what they do.

According to the server-status display at EVE-I all players were dropped for about 20 minutes at 2000 yesterday. If that's the case, that would mean the EVE server effectively lost connectivity to the rest of the world, which would mean any ships lost weren't to the players' own fault either...

I can't tell you if it was the servers or something else because I simply don't know. But remember that if there was an internet problem it is likely that the EVE-I server status display lost connection as well, and that would show as everyone dropped. Afaik there were people who didn't lose connection.

Yep, and there were some people who only lost connection on one of two clients that were running on the same computer, on the same internet connection. Judging from the traceroute posted in another thread, an awful lot of packets got "eaten" by a pair of internet nodes that decided to shuffle the packets between each other instead of sending them on to their destination. If your packets were happening to go via that route, you lost connection. If your packets were going some other route, you probably survived....of course if those were (as the rumours suggest) fairly big nodes in London, it is likely most players were being routed through them at the time.

Why does everyone seem to have lots of problems. i play a lot and the only time i have been kicked is just after the big update/patch thingy. and the second time was when NTL system went down in Leeds (UK) but that no-ones fault but NTL.
i dont even seem to see exploit or bugs. am i doing something wrong? i see a bit of lag every now and again but i have 2 pc's and a mac on my internet connection and am doing downloads and stuff at the same time so i do not even have a problem with that.
Keep up the Good work CCP.

got this error message
'''The website you requested has been temporarily disabled. We have a number of Amarrians bringing in Minmatar labour workers to get it up back.
In the meantime we recommend our Chronicles, Short Stories or some of our incredible fan sites such as Warp Drive Active. EVE Radio and also provide excellent listening until we get back up.
Thank you for your patience, please come back later. And remember, Quafe is good for you, mkay?

Everyone doesn't have lots of problems, just that no one really goes to post: "Hey CCP, it's working again, I logged in without a problem and gameplay is smooth". But when the opposite occurs people post. I rarely have problems myself but every time I post that I get lynched so I tend to avoid it.

They tried it with the gallente at first, but if they hadn't changed it to the minmatar they would never have gotten past the beta phase.

It would be very nice to hear at least something from CCP regarding lost ships during these "breaks". Even if it's just "We'll deal with every petition in due time".
Lost a Tempest due to the server crash(?) last night and lots of fittings. With the insurance I could get another one, but that would drain all my hard-earned isk that was reserved for something else.
I guess the amount of petitions is quite huge, so I'll wait patiently and fly my frigging shuttle around a veldspar roid then...

Here is a description of a problem I posted in the Bug Reporting section. Is anyone else having the same problem and has anyone found a solution??
--
This has never happened until this Friday, 11 Feb. '05 (I have not logged in on Thursday, so I don't know if the situation started then, but everything was alright on Wednesday).
I get this screen http://myeve.eve-online.com/screenshots/default.asp?screenID=7515 with an error dialog titled "CONNECTION LOST" with the following text "The transport has not yet been connected, or authentication was not successful." (after which I get dropped to the log in screen) when I do the following: jump, dock, activate ship module, train a skill, put up a market order, use any in-station service, etc.
Some of these actions cause a server disconnect every time, some less often, but more then 50% of the time.
This, off course, makes the game completely unplayable.
In every other respect my computer and all software on it behave as before.
Please advise.
Dell Dim8250, 2.4 P4, 1GIG RAM, ATI Rad9800 Pro, Cat 4.12, Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soun card (never had any problem with this).

Just an update on my problems: since downtime I can't log in most of the time(where as untill downtime at least I was able to log in on the first try everytime). The login bar gets stuck after going through all the "get this" and "get that" that it usualy does.
Any advise on a workaround would be greatly appreciated.
(I have tried deleting the cache: no joy. Also, all my other internet enabled software works as before, absolutely no problems)

Raz, maybe your char is stuck? I can get on fine now and everything seems to work fine except for the occational ctd and my missing Tempest from 3 days ago. Any idea about the response times to petitions or is it still the 3-4 business days? I'd hate to fly around in my frigate as it really is no use in lvl 4 missions

Naah, not stuck. I was able to log on and see all my stuff yesterday, and once after many tries today. So it's some kind of server problem.
Stuck petitions (and labled as such) may be pretty quick, sinse they seem to be easy to resolve for the devs.

i think these guys still have a superior game to any other on the net in this category if anyone can find a game that is bettr please tell us about it.
That said i guess with the staff they have and the state of internet development overall - it will take much time to get a truely bug free game but it seems to be working ok - dont forget insurance just in case.

Indeed in many repsects it is in some it's not.
Personally I woulda let AI control the Z Plane, it makes for a far easier control method and allows for many additional features such as shield facings etc, aka SFC.
