Just in case you didn’t notice. Or if you didn’t notice, then Eve is probably back up again.
TQ will be placed in VIP mode at 12:20 while troubleshooting continues on third party connection issues – Apologies for any inconvenience!

There is a large network outage affecting many players. CCP decided this was unfair to those that could not connect, so have taken the server down into VIP mode. Understandable, if somewhat inconvenient.
14:48: CCP Falcon explains VIP mode:
Would you consider it fair if you logged in after massive connection
issues that lasted for hours for thousands of people only to find that
your enemy could connect the whole time, and had reinforced or destroyed
a huge chunk of your infrastructure?
Thought not, hence VIP.
:Smile:
TQ is offine for testing and troubleshooting – We currently do not have an ETA for uptime, but will update via twitter when we have info!
