So the issue of Eve Online’s servers being hit by a DDoS attack and brought offline for extended maintenance has been fixed, and players are once again flying through space and shooting each other to death. With the attacks behind them and security teams working on new methods to protect the servers, CCP has turned its attention to compensating players for the loss of June 2nd and 3rd. In an announcement on the official website, in lieu of granting accounts with extra days of access, CCP will be handing out fifty thousand unallocated skill points.
You can read more about the incident in this statement by our Chief Operating Officer, CCP Spielmann. A friendly reminder if you hear of someone doing or planning something bad, even if it’s your friend, we do have the PLEX for snitches program.
All active accounts are eligible, barring trial accounts, and the points have already been handed out. Check out the link below for the full announcement and guide on how to allocate said points. No word on whether DUST514 players will be compensated as they share the same server with Eve Online players.
