Much better then leaving all of your customers waiting around while your devs figure out what they screwed up.

6k logged in, true player numbers finally revealed

OGB, Falcon alts...all fixed.

Happy days, CCP, happy days.

You would think CCP would test patches before releasing them. But I suppose they wont notice the affect this has with login numbers seeing as they are declining daily :)

Workaround would be to use two separate installations of eve and use different cache-folders for each of them. Works for me

Count me in on this thought.

They should leave the game like that. Not a bug, a feature.

the game would die if they did.

The guys at CCP dont even play EVE.... and you expect them to multibox?

+1

No you will need to make friends for someone to scout you, light a cyno, provide links......

It's disturbing how many people didn't read the last devblog where they clearly explained that rollbacks and tranquility don't always work.. or the part where they explained how they test the hell out of things on singularity but it still occasionally goes buggy on tranquility.

Complaining about people who complain.

Thus, the cycle continues. Now i'll complain about your post.

So meta.

Being informed now that a patch is available.

Shut down all clients, patch, and all *should* be well. Testing now.

o/

restart the client, another small patch and now all working :)

They did read it, they're just idiots.

Current online count is pretty interesting.
So almost each person login 2-3 accounts.


Why we don't get this juicy data on your graphs CCP?

Confirmed. All is well again.

Hahahahaha "hiccup".....I would say more like a patch stroke. When you sell people on the "power of two" for years, something should tell you to roll back the patch when you break that power that people are paying for.

that's news to me. Guess CCP Manifest faked his last video upload.

We have deployed a patch to fix this issue.

Please close your EVE Client and EVE Launcher and then restart the Launcher. This will update the client removing the bug.

Seriously?
A 2+ hour blurb for rookies no-one but the most masochistic is going to sit through? (IS NOT PLAYING EVE)

As for the videos content - Someone even mildly interested in playing Eve for the first time is going to give it a miss 15 mins in (if they last 15 mins that is). (worst thing is, he more than likely got paid to spend his time this way)

Any good tutorial is short concise and to the point - not 2hrs plus of "why am I watching this"

Another one got caught today, it's all over the forums. "Those multiboxers, they escalate us. We come in a reasonable ship, they lose, they come back with 3, 5 .. 10. They detroy us, and they call it pvp. They must be communists, they must not know democracy."

But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the multiboxer ?
Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?

I am a multiboxer, enter my world...
Mine is a world that begins as a rookie... I'm smarter than most of the other rookies, this crap they talk about solo pvp bores me...
Damn underachiever. They're all alike.

I'm in a cruiser. I've listened to agents and veterans explain for the fifteenth time how to fit and fight. I understand it. "No, Ms.
Smith, I know how to fight solo, I just dont see why should I limit myself to that"

Damn kid. Probably a carebear. They're all alike.

I made a discovery today. I found out that some people actually cant control two mouses or keyboards at the same time. Wait a second, do that is cool. It does what I want it to. If I make a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it is impossible for a human to do that...
Or feels threatened by me...
Or thinks I'm a smart ass...
Or doesn't like others having what they cant

Damn kid. All he does is play games too seriously. They're all alike.

And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the multiple screens, like a drug through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out from multiple directions, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a way of occupying all my capabilities is found.

"This is it... this is how I enjoy it..."

I know everyone here... even if they are all me, may never hear from them besides my own thoughts... I know you all...

Damn kid. Probably has no one else to play with. They're all alike...

You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed honor bull when we wanted challenge... the bits of challenge that you would choke upon through were pre-chewed and tasteless by mechanics protecting you from us. But not here, not EVE.

We've been tried by sadists, or ignored by the media. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.

This is our world now... the world of the alts and blobs, the beauty of the concert played with both hands at multiple input devices. You call us cheaters ! We explore limits... and you call us cheaters. We seek after knowledge... and you call us cheaters. We exist without race, without identity, without religious bias... and you call us cheaters. You build systems of ofensive morals, concept wars and name calling and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the cheaters.

Yes, I am a cheater. My cheat is that of curiosity. My cheat is that of judging people by what they can accomplish or stand for, not what they show in killboards and smack talk. My cheat is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me
for.

I am a multiboxer, and this is my manifesto. You may stop one of my alts, but you can't stop me from having them ... after all, we're all one.

Real men play one character at a time... EvE HardMode

Bold man does what real man cant.

Well what a funny bug! From eve-offline we know now that after downtime the alt-rate is about 50 percent, right?

@CCP
Plz make the number of alts (derived from the number of clients running on the same machine and connected accounts) available through API

And the rage on multiboxing continues.

My launcher says client ready so I login, I click play and all i get is "Launching" for 20 seconds then it reverts back to "Play".
