Its because CCP hates Australians.
We have like sunshine warm temperatures, no snow and stuff, and it ****es the Icelanders off.
Its some sort of passive agressive meta gaming revenge :(

Originally by: ZombieFX I know, i dont live in an exotic timezone or something. (germany is just gmt+1 UTC+1)
And i wonder why dont u make the downtime on something like 5-7 oŚclock at the morning?
The time - when pretty sure not that much ppl will be online (and sleep).
I cant ger rid of the feeling, i cant start any big operation, couse i know the downtime is coming soon.
Like a countdown - that just keeps teasing you! "nanana - u have to go offline :p"
Why are you complaining? You get to play right after DT, while the majority of the players in the US are asleep. That lets the Europeans rule the game. Or at least gank us sleepy Americans. Either way its better for you.

We're the largest percentage (in before "lol Americans are fat!" joke) of EVE players, thus I wouldn't be surprised at all if we factored into the decision process, despite what snarky, condescending Europeans like yourself might think.
If you don't believe me, look here. Look toward the bottom, where there's a table with percent of subscribers and percent of voters by country. Americans make up about 37% of the players of EVE, followed by the UK with about 14%.
Of the listed countries, 38.71% of the players are from Europe. |

Originally by: Kidain I have to question why it "has" to go down everyday? This isn't me moaning it;s me genuinely asking :)
No other game has DT everyday that I know of?
I love Eve, but speaking as a programmer I have to say that the standard of programming in this game is suspect! Thus the reason why DT is needed is obvious, the game leaks memory like a sieve - the code does not clean itself up fully when a ship dies, a player logs off, a resourse is consumed etc. The Server slowly grinds to a halt as it's free memory runs out and they have to reboot the cluster periodically to free up the memory.
Naw, I'm probably just sceptical, if that was true, you would find that on very busy days they would have to do that twice a day. Like around 2300 GMT on weekends, and you would get horrendous lag issues too.
Originally by: Sahriah BloodStone Most MMO's have DT at some point, i believe WoW's is like once a week but the DT lasts for 12hrs or something stupid, which is more time altogether then EvE's per week.
...er no. When I played, Wow's DT used to be 15 mins a week on Wednesday morning at 3am local server time.

So how much experience programming a MMORPG with 2 major expansions and several patches a year for 7 years do you have exactly?

None, but I know a system that is creeking when I see it and nuff said about the UI.
You seem very sensitive to this criticism, I'm sorry if it is unsettling, I love this game too but to pretend there are no issues with it is silly.

Dt happens when there is less people on the Server look here so see what the population looks like

I'm sensitive to bull****, if that's what you mean. I was calling you out on your claim that your being a programmer is somehow relevant, as if just any programmer could do a better job than all the devs at CCP. That's not to say that there are no issues with EVE, I'm just saying that you're delusional.

Europe isn't a country.

I think what you meant to say was, 'There are less people on the server when downtime time happens'.
Or maybe you are just making a funny post vOv

Sorry Major, but the majority of the downtime tasks are database related (running scripts, archiving dat, etc) and not just to reboot the cluster.
