CCP has reported that EVE Online and all their websites(like forums) have been taken off line due to a persistent DDOS attack. CCP is giving no ETA on when the servers and services will return - estimate it maybe hours before game returns to service. You can read about it here.
CCP Reports DDOS attack. <<< clicky

I wonder which group of brave internet rebels DDoS'd EVE this time?
No doubt we'll find out soon enough.
Meanwhile I got a bunch of chores done
Give me liberty or give me lasers
I don't play EvE but this sucks. The worst was the ass clowns that hacked PSN/SoE and ruined things for players just because of a lame grudge. EWant more support for your cause? Go about it in a way that doesnt screw over hundreds of thousands of people.
Bit of a tangent there, but I despise this sort of crap.
Still down, I think it's been down around 5 or 6 hours now. Meh, I was anticipating a lot of downtime due to issues/bugs due to the new expansion so I had skills que'd for days. I guess I lucked out lol
The forums are down as well, right? I think CCP took all their servers down as they tackle the situation.
Bloody hackers should go back to molesting Sony and leave honest PC folk alone.
I reckon EVE tech crew will crush them, too much experience there.

Played-Everything

Odds are you get skillpoints bonus to make up for lost time anyways.

....Being Banned from MMORPG's forums since 2010, for Trolling the Trolls!!!
EVE is already F2P, if you have enough brain capacity to fund the subs with plexes. ^^

While I do not play EVE I think their response and their level of information following this criminal attack is commendable!
It sucks for the players ofc. But at least they can see that they are dealing with a company with a plan of action.
Sony and at least 2 other major serviceproviders should be taking notes here
We dont need casuals in our games!!! Errm... Well we DO need casuals to fund and populate our games - But the games should be all about "hardcore" because: We dont need casuals in our games!!!
(repeat ad infinitum)
Good memories there. Quit SWG in 2005 after having to deal with Smedley's gang and years later I had to read on internet forums about SOE getting hacked ("don't worry, only account details belonging to customers from 3 countries have been completely compromized" -one of them being my country-) and then having to call the bank to block my credit card.
ALL account info + payment details put on a server, uncoded.
Luckily I got a new CC within a day after blocking it and transaction history of the old one was 100% clean, they did try to use the details just after I had my old CC blocked, however, also a sh*tload of phishing email attempts to my old internet address. AFTER this happened SOE sent warning emails, because they couldn't deny the attacks anymore.
Since then, VERY reluctant to do ANY payment online. Like I said, I fund EVE completely through plexes each month, but should my income get nerfed big time some day, I won't be happy to give my new payment details to any MMO company.

SP OR WE RIOT.
Only skills left are all level 5s at some point so meh. :P

This is the part where cameron goes berserk!
It's close to 60/40 on who won here.
The idea of DDoS is to crash the server. EVE has been down for a full day. They forced EVE down either way you look at it.
It's time to take over Jita again in protest? =D
Iam running 4 accounts and thats considerd light in nullsec, in our corp a guy runs 12 accounts and has his own PI line going making him 30 billion a month :P
I just take my 2100 vindicator out and start nuking forsaken hubs for insane bounty ticks :P
Also if this has anything to do with playstation network -----> Dust 514 then it sucks
so i can start farming PLEX in my noob frigate, while on a trial account? awesome
first,,EVE is the haven of all scammers,,does it surprise you, that some of them are hackers too?
second..the experience didnt stop the hackers this time,,do you think it will next time?
i smell an inside job,,didnt ccp hire some active gamers to their staff?
Let me guess you got BF'd at a game camp and youre still bitter?
"I understand that if I hear any more words come pouring out of your **** mouth, Ill have to eat every fucking chicken in this room."
Well you should know it. It looks that you are on trial forever. You cheap one! Risk few $ for start
