We keep having these downtimes,and I pay you guys pretty good money monthly to have the service up and running 24/7 ...i play eve, its all i do, several accounts a few 100's of dollars here and there. See now 50 thousand skill points for downtime is unacceptable...I just jumped into a star that was a disconnected cluster with lots of shinies, should I lose that will you reimburse me? or would you send me the "normal game mechanics" auto-mail? please get your act together. Its getting out of hand. Take control or stop tranquility until you have solved every issue there is and could ever be, like playstation did when they got hacked to ****. You have claimed3 times on the past three patches that you have fixed the black screen when undocking issue, as of right now that's not the case. It is still happening randomly mostly on gates now, so, once again get your act together people. Every minute I don't spend in eve am spending on the net with the possibility of finding another game that takes my interest. 
we all pay good money to play this game, or put in the hours to pay for it with ISK. but i agree with you the server needs to be up or down, you guys should be able to track where the DDoS attacks are coming from, associate those IPs with game accounts either through direct matchup of time and IP from service provider or through your own logs of users connecting to your servers. the 50k SP for the what was it 36 hours downtime was kind of a slap in the face i'm not going to lie, fully mapped and 5s > 150k SP gone in that time. i work from home too, i expect the servers to be down during normal service for 15-30 minutes a day, these extended downtimes from attacks needs to come to an end, block connection to the IPs causing the problem, and if they cant log into eve anymore because they were DDoSing good, lottery off the BPOs and let the space get taken |
