I would wait until near the weekend AFTER the update week, just in case 50,000 EVE box set buyers all try and log in to check out this new MMO they've seen on the shelf at GAME on the 13th/14th/15th/16th. ________________________________________________

Don't take the day off.
CCP have been getting better at releasing major patches, but this one has an externally applied deadline - the launch of the boxed game. They'll be rushing to get things out of the door. They'll be sticking last minute bugfixes in when really they should be freezing and doing QA. They'll arse things up royally.
I love CCP, but some patch days (and weeks) I've know in the past have been long, drawn out horrors of epic fail and much forum whining. Remember, you don't want to be the person to post "I took my officer fitted Golem out five minutes after patch day and I lost it to a bug. WTF CCP?"

Originally by: Rami Tinard I was considering booking March 10th off as a holiday from work, but then again is it worth it?
I mean if the expansion comes out that day, then surely it won't roll live on the servers until the scheduled 11.00 - 12.00 downtime (which may well be longer than usual?). So at the very least it would mean a wasted morning of sitting reading the box & picking my nose.
Or will they schedule the downtime / expansion going live at some other time?
Plus then theres the mass of people trying to log in which I bet will increase, but there's no getting around that I suppose - just keep trying...trying..
As much as I would like to see a smooth patching day on the 10th of march, I will expect smaller or larger problemes to evolve anyway. Its a huge expansion, and as much as the devs are trying to failproof it, some bugs will most likely slip through anyway. Such is the real world. So most likely taking a day off on the 10th can be a "wasted holiday". No, if I where you book a day off on the friday. Then you get an extended weekend! And some of the most severe bugs should have been cleaned up. IF there where any who results in additional downtime.

Gonna be at least 3 days before the bugs are (mostly) squashed imho.
Don't tell me nobody else has noticed that most places are showing the boxed version release date as the 13th?

They better get it right this time, there's a retail box release and - I presume this is the point of the retail box - lots of new players getting their first taste of EVE, or at least their first taste since 2003. -- The Theorem Theorem: If If, Then Then --

I'll set my computer up to download and patch on the 10th but I usually make it a point NOT TO EVER PLAY ON PATCH DAY. Its not worth the headache. Doubly so after that whole boot.ini issue, egads! Come to Penirgman VII û Ministry of Internal Order Assembly Plant to apply for WWES! |

Originally by: Akita T March 10 will most likely be a "day of downtime", so getting that day free would be a big mistake. March 11 will probably be a day of instabilities and hotfixes, so getting THAT one free would be a bad idea too. March 12, now you're starting to talk... but I'd probably wait until the 13th, or even just the 16th (since 14/15 are the weekend, so usually free anyway).

Muah, CCP is really enjoying our trust. Well, this is what happens if you mess up too many (read: almost all) patches. You loose something valuable. CCP is a joke when it comes to patching, they have their own league of failures. Nobody else can't even touch CCP.
I'm ready for anything, i just hope the new patch won't re-format my harddrives without a warning. Well, it might happen. You never know.
I'm going to delete my boot.ini file, so the patch can't touch that one again.
Good luck, you're gonna need it.

Edited by: Sheriff Jones on 26/02/2009 07:35:08 M9 - Long skill. LONG. Longer then..then...a phallic symbol. M10 - No EVE. M11 - EVE with caution, MAYBE change a long skill again, if you managed to miss out on M9. Light rabble on the side. M12 - Cake day, also international "rabble on forum day". M13-15 - PEWPEWPEWRABBLERABBLEPEWPEWPEW!!!!!
Though come think of it, friday the 13th after a big patch doesn't fill me with teddybear goodness and high hopes
CCP better put Jason the Hamster away from the others.
