What is everyones thought on the possibility that these attacks on EVE are sponsered by other major MMO groups i.e blizzard or even microsoft, to damage CCP's name and the success of Dust 514?

Or maybe a large null sec alliance calling in every favor it can to keep from being run over by a giant Russian freight train?

Glad I have long skills training.

I think the last flood against the login server didn't manage to take down the server - but it did manage to overload some of the trunks connecting TQ to the Internet. Also, there may be some indicators that either some ISPs/routers blocked the route to TQ or that some ISPs were categorically banned from getting access. (Eurorings.)

That for me is the better explanation of whats happening really. Metagaming to the next level, can't defende yourself? crash the server.

The NC alliances have already been crushed pretty much. Razor fighting alone? Yeah, right. Morsus Mihi is already in Delve. Russians trying to save themselves from bad, bad, -A- capturing their back yard? Not likely. If they want to turn back and steamroll -A-, I assume that's doable. The DRF is capturing assumably somewhat defended systems (okay, systems that were defended a week ago or so) faster than -A- is able to capture their undefended systems.

I agree with this. It's highly unlikey any entity in EVE 0.0 considered having the server killed by a DDoS attack from these juveniles to be a good idea, for any reason I can imagine. After all, no matter who else it's inconvinient for (everyone) it will also prevent you from logging in.

Slightly off-topic, but I do miss the age of fewer entities in 0.0 and somewhat more stable space. What's the point in trying to do the whole 'defending our space' thing is the reality of who holds what space changes on a weekly basis? Same as with allies. I love the consept of allies - having reliable friends that are not absolutely part of your alliance/corp, that you back up and help as they back you up and help you in turn. Since the fall of ASCN and the loss of Acenia the last real 'alliance nation' has fallen, IMHO. With it, 0.0 has lost alot of it's appeal.

More concentrated power with less sov fights is pretty much the opposite of what players wanted for years, seems to me.

[Mizhara]

Yeah, it's the massive coalitions that have made nullsec boring to me. That one such power has fallen and scattered makes me all happy. If CCP manages to further break apart coalitions somehow, (if they're even trying) I'm very happy. Stability is boring.

Maybe they're something after all.

Top priority is to steal and leak any classified government information

Play with fire, you're bound to get burned in the end.

Rumor is that they have the UK census info in hand now.

Another one bites the dust!

[Casiella]

Lulz says they do NOT have UK census data and that the suspect in custody isn't one of them but the sysadmin of the IRC server they use.

I'd say that too if I was Lulz

Seriously though, some interesting shit going down. Following this with great interest. Ain't too often you see hacker groups unite under a common banner.
