"connection failed"

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.

Anyone else seen this?

I actually totally agree, This server being down has my main character not training any skills AT ALL... I submitted a ticket to eve requesting that for this "database issue" or whatever is... These servers should be very well maintained and this isn't our fault..

I pay a monthly subscription like most flying mates and when I can't play because of this unknown database issue and server being down. My character is losing skill point that he would have other been training in.

I ask and requested CCP or EVE support help desk that They should offer 1 free skill injector for those who submit a ticket.

You do realise that "Drop Database Tranquility" is not a fitting response to SMA getting womped and making Mittens look like a bellend with his choice of Ally..... Sorry, Minion....... Sorry, Meat shield ........ Wait, sorry my sperg is all over the place today, whipping *****..

Yes, there does seem to be an increase in the amount of down times due to server issues lately. The problem is is that we want all these little gizmos and gadgets in the game (cloak timers and visual enhancements) to spice things up. The catch is the more bling you add to the game only means more code that could go wrong and interact badly with other features. So we are hosed either way.

We either accept Eve as it is and quit asking the Devs for new content or we learn to deal with the down times that come from coding issues that may have come about due to those blingy updates we love so much.

Thanks for this. The most important thing posted in 133 posts (haven't read the rest yet - smile).

Of course, folks don't like their game being interrupted, but such is reality. I do agree with those who are saying such things as "being in the midst of a mission, can I have my timer started at the point of the DT." and with the statement about having done hours for PLEX for subbing the account - and probably not the only player so impacted.

For the non-techies -- there is so much behind the scenes that has to go on - and it's not always smooth sailing - and it never will be.

What kind of issue was discovered?
I would love to know the technical details!
