Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 15:10:00 - [3] Originally by: Harri Bar Dear players, Tranquility is down due to database issues, we need to extend the downtime until our hangovers have settled down due to the 7th birthday party. We're sorry for the inconvenience. this is the real reason guys isnt it? eh? lol - that I would respect! They do a good job, but they need to hear when they do not perform well. I think our Interstellat Council will make a difference ... or perhaps I'm also naive in addition to being a cry-baby :)
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 15:34:00 - [4] "Update at 14:25 UTC Hello everyone, The server start up has been pushed back to 16:00 UTC. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused." no probs at all - I'll try logging in at 16.00 GMT/UTC - thanks for the info happy birthday and enjoy the party
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 15:40:00 - [5] Originally by: Archuthas I noticed problems last night with deliveries not showing up. If I went to that station where I purchased the item I could pick up the delivery. Other than that no complaints overall. MY PERSONAL NOTE TO THE WHINERS! Downtime happens, both scheduled and unscheduled. I personally think that CCP has done a great job of keep Tranquility up and running over the years. When you all create and run your own successful MMO then you'll understand what it takes to keep the darn thing online. So get over it and be thankful that the staff at CCP found out that there was a problem and started working to get it fixed as quickly as possible. MY PERSONAL NOTE TO THE fanboys - thanks for sharing your lack of knowledge in systems operation

Know the feeling, been married 8 years and I get told off for, ahem, touching things I shouldn't If Eve isn't up at the promised time, I might have to actually have a conversation and confuse my wife also! meh, it's been 8 years, i wouldn't worry too much about it, but when u start using eve terminolgy for sexual acts in bed, "eg: can i bring my thorax in to dock?" then it's probably time to seek some marital counselling. priceless :)
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 15:57:00 - [7] Originally by: Cone Filler Edited by: Cone Filler on 07/05/2010 15:54:30 all thoose who has skills ending raise your hands EDIT : the database got Tuxford me raising hands vigourosly ... and I'm at war, so my cunning attack plan is now history :)

We're sorry for the inconvenience." Are you serious I want 6+ hours added to my subscription when this is over! you can have the $4.36 from me ... I bet your tech 2 boats only drop Meta 3 stuff
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 16:08:00 - [9] Originally by: DavidValentine M'eh, at the end of the day if any of you guys think y'all can do better and make an MMO of this size and keep it running perfectly. Lets see it! I would like to know the following three things: 1) You've said it's a database issue CCP, what exactly is wrong with it? 2) Why do dogs have wet noses? 3) What caused it to start happening? I'm not CCp, but i'll take a stab at it: re 1) it's probably a Microsoft SQL server (no more info needed) re 2) because they can re 3) see 1) above
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 16:14:00 - [10] Originally by: Darth Vogel In true CCP fashion they underestimate the fault and instead of posting a realistic time of resolution we are lied to repeatedly. Thanks CCP under-estimating the faults in Microsoft SQL Server is a great under-estimation
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 16:22:00 - [11] Originally by: Jugger Takashi Im amazed at the fact that they have to fix something that wasnt broke before they broke the daily fixup of things that might break. facepalm rofl - it's a perfect time for introducing the new features in Tyrannis. Large fleet battles are rock solid so lets throw some more features in there
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 16:30:00 - [12] Originally by: SirRalph HEY IT'S FRIDAY! We still have forums and teamspeak It's like waiting for fleet fight for few hours, instead of spinning your ship we can spin bottles and listen FC's to shout 'STFU' battlecomms! ROFL - thanks for reminding me why I'm not in an alliance :)
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 16:45:00 - [13] it's quite simple actually - your database is as stable as the Iskies you invest in it - dependant on the quality of the work or your database design people. Why do you think Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley trading systems have a downtime of LESS than 0.001% - it's all about sales and marketing - don't blame the CCP developers
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 16:59:00 - [14] Originally by: CCP Adida Removed a CSM promotional video from the thread. This is not the proper place to insert promotional videos for election of the CSM. how about spending your energy on informing us about the current situation instead? I assume that you have zero contact to the development department, so perhaps it might be an idea to work on that in the future
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 17:12:00 - [15] Originally by: Naliena Arlath Originally by: Marcus Vorenius how about spending your energy on informing us about the current situation instead? I assume that you have zero contact to the development department, so perhaps it might be an idea to work on that in the future how about spending your energy on something other than camping the eve-o forum? I assume that you have zero friends in the real world, so perhaps it might be an idea to work on that in the future heh heh - it just so happens that it's my Eve-time right now ... my wife is off for gymnastics (!), my kids are out of the house and all my drinking buddies are in jail. I don't think a fanboy/girl like you will understand
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 17:40:00 - [16] Originally by: Obsidian Hawk Originally by: Teibor Originally by: Obsidian Hawk Im at work right now and I know eve will be up after i get home from work take LMAO funniest comment in this thread so far. Whats so funny? its 12:33pm here I get off work in 5 hours, then i have a 40 min drive home because of traffic so nearly 6 hours, plus 1 hour at the gym so 7 hours. Yeah EvE will be up by then. But if not, im glad i have my skill queue full. the funny part is that your chance of making it home without getting mugged or shot is higher than the chance that EVE will be online
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 18:03:00 - [17] give me a freakin break - the database is as good as the ISK you thow at it. Imagine one of the top-5 Investment banks going off-line for an hour ... not happening.
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 18:11:00 - [18] Edited by: Marcus Vorenius on 07/05/2010 18:11:25 Originally by: Orbite Edited by: Orbite on 07/05/2010 18:06:09 Originally by: Marcus Vorenius give me a freakin break - the database is as good as the ISK you thow at it. Imagine one of the top-5 Investment banks going off-line for an hour ... not happening. I'm pretty sure the bank would have the money to throw at getting 5 9's uptime. Sure CCP could get 5 9's but your monthly fee would likely have to go up to pay for the extra hardware, licences and staff... Edit: 5 9's = 99.999% - Sorry, used to referring to it as that at work. .... which confirms my point: it's a matter of how much they invest in the tools (i.e. DB) and people (e.g. DB designers, admins etc.) ... obviously they need to throw a few more ISK at this

On your question: they should just make sure that the current features are working in a decent way - i.e. major fleet battles, then I would be happy to pay more
Marcus Vorenius	Posted - 2010.05.07 18:24:00 - [20] I hope that the new Interstellar Council will do an effort and that they are not a bunch of Fanboys

Do they not work for us and have access to CCP? I read the last minutes and the issues they bought up where important to me. So I guess CCP don't give a hoot and it's just a marketing stunt, I'm not surprised.
