EVE Online Hands Out Free Skill Points As Compensation For DDoS Attacks

eve online aether wars bannerBack in January, EVE Online was hit by a series of DDoS attacks that apparently caused connectivity issues that continued to plague the game weeks after the attack. “Our teams and partners have constantly been working on minimizing the interruption to our services, however, the experience for many pilots have still been suboptimal,” said CCP Games. “Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience it has caused you.”

To thank the Capsuleers for their patience, CCP is giving everyone free skill points. 100,000 Alphas and 350,000 Omegas to be exact. The latest episode of EVE Pulse talks about it, along with the new notification system, moon mining, the Invasion Tournament world finals, and the upcoming Frigate Escape Bay update. You can watch that way down below.

Meanwhile, the January in-game monthly economic report is out for those of you interested in the economic side of the game. You can view the full report on the EVE Online official site.
