Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong.

What happened? Was N3 losing ships again?

Logged in with no issues just now when I seen this thread. And those complaining about CCP, it might not even be CCP's fault. They rely on ISPs just like you and I, and sometimes, the ISPs can fart.

Great. I guess we'll get the silent treatment again. And god forbid we offer our players some compensation, let's just keep giving them useless gifts.

Um, no, data centers have multiple connections and are located in backbones. But thumbs up for trying :)

NO redundancy scheme is fool proof. Considering how short that outtage was.. primary probably died and it took a minute for automatic switch over to backup to take place.

calm down nerd

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay in responding, we've been investigating this problem.

It was a third party ISP issue that caused the loss of connection that you guys experienced, which is completely outside our control sadly.

Tranquility is healthy, and hasn't experienced any issues at all. The cause for this disconnect was a third party networking issue that seems to now be resolved. You should all be able to connect again just fine.

Sorry for any trouble the surprise outage may have caused.

We've heard reports that people lost the connection to voice servers so this affected more than EVE. EU players mostly stayed online, this was most likely in the NA transit handoff of the provider that is experiencing issues.

Completely Inaccurate,, my fleet all DCed and TS-ú was unaffected.

Login was connecting to server and then black screening.

It looks very much like a server issue rather than a "3rd Party".


Petitions are in, please replace ships lost, as they should be.

just because YOU didn't have a disruption in other services doesn't mean there wasn't one.

I believe what he is asying is that its an inaccurate statement as we were immediately able to reconnect to the server however upon selecting our toons we were greeted with greeted with a black screen allowing us to progress no further.

open your eyes.

Log is problems, black screen, mass dc, other pilots across eve getting traffic control, loading grid times spike, all points to servers. I mean relogging was typical of server issues, had all the usual symptoms. nothing else.

If it was a major internet provider problem it will be reported in news external to eve, as it would presumably have affected many businesses and private individuals not playing games.


open your eyes.

Did a tackled supercap fleet get away or something?

I logged back in and there was 2 billion in my wallet out of nowhere!

Yeah.. right. open my eyes

Difference between me and you: I'm a software engineer in this ******* field, you're some derpy raging splerglord.

You are a cabbage.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of this game, it doesn't take long to become an end user expert in teh server connection issues, we have seen them all before, and this was a very suspicious sausage of an incident.

Now go grow somewhere with more light, and wash the caterpillars off.

Yep if it wasn't some outside networking or ISP issue my whole internet would not have been down for 2 mins at each of the two disconnects I've had at the same time as everyone else.

I don't live on that continent... why did I disconnect two times?

Nanites?

if you would have read this thread earlier.. i am a software engineer that specializes in networking and security for distributed computing.

This is very indicative of two things

A) networking issues

B) traffic control = many users logging on all at once = load spike

exactly, that's not an external hardware issue. its the server.
