​

For nine days and now continuing to stretch, the servers of MMO This in the US has been DDoS attackcause chat feature in-game cannot work for players who can log in. Many can’t even log in. CCP Games reported both problems, errors lagdisconnection occurs for players who are able to log in and does not give any specific timeline for resolving all of the above.

DDOS attacks and game downtime are bad news for all MMOs, but the above is especially bad for EVE Online, the game has a complicated gameplay, depending on the player. In some parts of the world, players can log in normally and unaffected, while those in other regions are likely to be affected. Restrict login for more than a week. The US seems to be the hardest hit by DDOS, but besides that, Australia, Africa and many other places are also reporting lag and similar issues with chat.

“This is difficult for people trying to protect or build fuel stations, and it doesn’t happen to all servers in the EVE universe,” said Carneros, head of The Bastion alliance. . There are people who can’t connect and perform their duties, which leads to some consequences that even CCP Games will have difficulty in overcoming.”

Frustrated players on Reddit claim to have their accounts deleted or claim compensation for not being able to log in for days. But as Carneros points out, the impact of some players not being able to log in is likely to cost much more than the one-week subscription fee. Forsaken Empire co-leader Lord’s Servant said, “We’re currently weak against an opposing force in our territory. We can’t defend our equipment or defend against hostile actions. . The enemy can build a base in a week in our area because members can’t log in and organize battles like before.”

Lord’s Servant detailed the impact of DDOS in a lengthy reddit post, showing just how much damage the attack did to small alliances. Since many members were unable to participate in the battle, they were deprived of an area that could have been easily defended.

Some players are speculating that the problem is not with the DDOS attack itself but with the mitigation service used to prevent DDOS from completely crashing the servers. Many people have successfully logged in using VPNs installed in regions outside of the US. Whether the above conjecture is correct or not, players are still experiencing severe lag issues and broken chat if they can actually log into EVE.

EVE Status tried to appease the community with the post: “We are working with our partners to improve the situation for those affected. Please continue to send us your reports.”​
