During downtime today a small change was made to escrow logging to help the GMs do their jobs better. Unfortunately a bug slipped in that allowed nefarious players to ôwinö EVE. The bug has been fixed and the winners through a bit of database magic have been turned into losers. We deeply regret any setbacks in your plans for world domination that may have been cause by this most heinous emergency downtime.

Second: some how to be able to to get the money and the Item (dupping or just scam)
Third: TO be able to fake the item that the other guy going to buy.

Three things 1) Its astounding to find the words ''I hope it gets fixed soon'' or something to that end, two reply's down from this statement and thread post. It is why i rarely if ever use forums this behaviour and worse seems to me to be the signature of forum mentality. This is sad because the idea of a forum is great.
2) If it is fixed why isn't the server up?
3) ''Win eve'' seems to me to be a glazing over of information as it means nothing literally. There is something about this situation that is strange.
Let me on!! Just back from hard day work!! let me on !! hehe

Why don't you just set the default message to 'set a long skill to train'?

Then could we have it right now?
Btw, what'll happen to current escrows come kali? A 7day period of no escrowing allowed?

To those that are asking about the exploit, it is only in rare instances where CCP has mentioned the type of exploit or hinted at how to go about it. This is not one of those rare instances where we are going to give out details. Sometimes, acknowledging there is a bug in a certain area of the game code is enough to give exploiters a hint of how to take advantage of the bug.
Suffice it to say the bug was severe enough for us to take the server down for a short time in an effort to fix the issue and take care of the exploiters.
I apologize if you want more information, but it is not going to be forthcoming. When TQ comes back, all will have been resolved and dealt with.

To those that are asking about the exploit, it is only in rare instances where CCP has mentioned the type of exploit or hinted at how to go about it. This is not one of those rare instances where we are going to give out details. Sometimes, acknowledging there is a bug in a certain area of the game code is enough to give exploiters a hint of how to take advantage of the bug.
Suffice it to say the bug was severe enough for us to take the server down for a short time in an effort to fix the issue and take care of the exploiters.
I apologize if you want more information, but it is not going to be forthcoming. When TQ comes back, all will have been resolved and dealt with.

So, can u give us any details of the exploit now? 
Cant u devs fix so all known exploiters get stuck at a gate for 30 days, flashing red and can be killed over and over again? Would be nice for my killboard stats

Funny i start another thread about a time estimate, and the thread gets shut down, oh yes that 's after fanbois jump in first and proceed to test out my fire suit. All i'm asking is could we please have a time estimate? "Hiya, we had to take the server down but hope to have it up in 2 hours. We are sorry for your loss." By the way if you do this(please do) don't be like when you give us time estimates when you install new patches.

In order to avoid the Eve Downtime blues I have placed my one year old son behind the child safety stair gate , fitted him with an eye patch, stuffed parrot and a set of darts and i am crawling towards him at the rate of a badger mk1.
he really is learning the art of gate camping well and those damn darts hurt, however he is failing at the sound effects, less of a "pew pew pew" more "giggle" every time one of those darts penetrate my armour

Wow. An Exploit that will allow you to "Win EVE". I didn't know a thing was possible. You mean there's an end game screen with credits that roll with really dinky music? And then we have to wait years for the next installment of the game?
Okay...I'm going back to playing Final Fantasy now.

I am happy the forums are up so I can read about EVE topics while the server is unaccessable.
A company not explaining what the exploits were all about in detail is common. It covers a number of bases in many different situations and is the best action to take for them no matter what.
I do think CCP should sell baseball caps with "Full Cluster (0)" on the front ;)

I was thinking that if i spammed enough here maybe you guys would be entertained enough to just stop posting. It's really annoying w/ like 50 posts b/t inmortant information each with your pretty little pictures and signtures and other random crap that has to load. I mean a good portion of people are actually reading these forums to get IMPORTANT information and you guys remind me of the seguls in Finding Nemo. "Mine" "Mine" "More info?" "I wanna exploix eve and get banned" "more info on how to get myself banned?" "More info please?" The Dev preactically kicked your crappy seagul self off the dock, and u jump right back up there yapping again. So unless you have something pertinent to ask, could you please go post your gripes on your personal forums, or go call someone who cares? The Dev's know it's an inconvenience that you can't play right now. I currently also need to switch skills and am annoyed, but CCP has always had our back as far as costomer service and i'm sure one of the managers is tearing off the head off one of the DEV's b/c the server is not back up. They aren't gonna read your random posts about "whats the exploit?" And if u've jsut asked they've probably put your account under survelance for exploits. Good job genious, they are watching you. Now can you please stop w/ the random posts so we can get IMPORTANT information from the DEV's w/o having to read all your BS?
p.s. The caldari post was good tho

I bet those sploiters have been made losers through a negative wallet I think Tank CEO got the same fate a year or more ago. -1 bil in those days was harsh, hehehe. A negative wallet is very funny. You can't do anything pretty much. I don't even think you set sell orders so you have to rely on donations in order to get back in the black.

It never ceases to amaze me how many players jump at a chance to cheat the system.
The devs won't acknowledge it, but you can bet they have built in warning flags when big amounts of isk change hands.
If you are dumb enough to think you can escape unharmed doing things on the sly, remember it is human nature to push the evelope, hence even if you did not do enough to set off the flags there are always others that will and then everyone has to pay the piper.
I hope CCP gave them all a little wakeup call. Learners permit still current |

Please keep this in mind before hitting the post reply button, discussing an exploit, including steps to duplicate it or what it might be, is a bad idea. If CCP is not going to discuss what it is, do you really think it is a good idea to do it on your own?

It probably is. I can ping the server with 0% loss and an average of 89ms, but still can't connect via the client (E coast US), so I'm thinking everything is still spinning back up to full functionality.

While I understand the general policy of not sharing exploits, is there not a possibility that the devs has not spotted the entire effects of said exploit, and explaining it - after its fixed ofc - would give people a chance at investigating if they might have been touched by it? If its out in the open, maybe theres a better chance that someone honest will spot and report a repeat of it or similar problem?
Again, I can see why you would not want to point to those areas of the code. But Like everyine else, I am just madly curious. :)

Just a thought, but there is a general warning out today from the power companies of possible regionalised powercuts due to everyone's (those who have it) air-conditioning/fridges/freezers etc all working overtime trying to keep stuff cold. Wonder how much of the net in the UK here is not working at anywhere near optimal due to the heat?
Secondly, they say it hasn't been this hot for 400 years (what caused it last time?).... I remember about 15 years ago when the roads melted.... took me ages to dig the tar out of my bike wheel treads (they looked like a fresh pair of slicks having gone a few meters on my way back home - I could also leave the push-bike standing upright without a stand due to the wheels sinking slightly into the tar of the road). Anywho, only time will tell what gives, but it might be worth checking if it's CCP or someone between you and CCP's servers who are to blame.

I don't think it's an ISP problem. I ran a trace and I had no problems connecting to the server I.P. Also pinged the server and got 0% loss, yet the server still shows as being offline to me.

Unable to connect.
Located in the Netherlands.
87.237.38.200 pings fine, so it doesn't seem to be a routing issue either.
Nevertheless I've reset firewall and PC with no effect.

Originally by: Maximillian Dragonard hrm...... just occured to me that it "has" to be a TQ issue.. I'm able to connect to the test server with no prob.
Of course, this assumes the two are close geographically, which I assume they are.
About as close as Iceland is to the UK. The test servers (Chaos, Singularity) are hosted in Reykjavik at the home office, Tranquility is hosted in a data center somewhere in London. The IT team is continuing to look into the connectivity issue, but at this point in time there do not appear to be any node issues that would prevent players from logging in.

Doh, it seems very odd though that so many people are suffering the same symptoms. Its certainly my feeling that the problem is not on my end, whether it is a CCP problem or a net infrastructure problem is a different matter.

Originally by: Occidia For those having trouble logging back in, I would suggest rebooting your DSL modem, machine and your router.
I'm in Australia, and had the same trouble, I've just reset my wireless router, rebooted my modem and I've got straight in.
Hope this helps someone else out.
This done it for me, after this i got another IP from my ISP and since this i could connect again. |
