Eve Online

I know he said this was the last Clear Skies, but I certainly hope he changes his mind.

I think it’s too much more to ask of him.

Hi all.

I started playing EVE a few days ago with the free trial and promptly bought a subscription.

Some one said that EVE is an amalgamation of the Games Elite and Privateer. I have played both of those and I agree completely. I loved those games and love the slow deliberate pace of EVE. Of course having to wait 4 days to upgrade a skill can be a bit fristrating but what the hay, I’m not in any hurry.:wink:

So see Y’all in the stars and if you cross paths with Freeman Lannister on The Blind Luck toss me a “Hail fellow well met”. :smiley:

Hey! Drop in on the GWC channel in game. (:

I’m gonna reuse old alliance frak threads from last year. The old ones are on youtube and interest is limited enough to warrant not wasting bandwidth on new threads. d:

Clear Skies 3 was great, but I think something was screwed up on my download. I couldn’t navigate it through the progress bar thing and it cut off when Charlie was saying goodbye to John.

Oh, and it’s Hot Drop O’Clock. :smiley:

I reactivated my account for the 5 free days and had no idea what I was doing anymore. No clue where I left off skills wise. And flying a pretty decently decked out Myrmidon. looked awesome on my newish comp though

Best way to get it is to use the torrent download.

Mail evemon setting files to yourself as an attachment so you won’t lose them no matter what.

Maybe, but I don’t want to download a Torrent client for just one thing.

EVE Online and related services experienced an Internet attack. We have taken them down as a security precaution. #eveonline #tweetfleet

Edit:
EVE Online server offline due to DDOS attack

This is one of those things things that make me wonder if it’s worth while risking my Visa account over. Especially after the Sony fiasco.

.

Seems like everything is back down no sooner than they got it going.

Now it looks like it’s all up and running but all I keep getting is Status: Unknown on the sign in page.

SNAFU again…

Well now that’s all cleared up for the moment. It looks like the North American side cut access to the servers till they got the all clear from the Eve crew.

Sounds like as of about 20 minutes ago Eve-O is down again, according to EveNews24s twitter feed.

Yes. Around 20:15 UTC. This while another threadnought is going on.

http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1528607&page=10#282 i like this response.

Like others, I’ve reactivated my lapsed subscription since seeing CS3. And now looked a bit more at this thread and saw there was a chat channel… will be on more, I think.
I mainly go under “Flicker Jenkins”

For folks who are new to EVE, players like me who have taken breaks, or the curious folks who want to know everything (again like me), there’s an EON Magazine ISK Guide called “The Ultimate Guide to EVE Online.”

Here’s the pdf (right-click and Save As)

It’s a pretty interesting read and nice tables and graphics. Came out in February so some details are obsolete or out of date like Agents. But, check it out.
