Tried directly selling an item. Got an error message:
"Market authorities were unable to process your order. Please try again."
When I relogged back in, the item was gone and no change on my wallet balance.

Then after unfitting certain modules I could no longer refit them or repackage or stack/unstack them.

Had problems logging in, changing and injecting skills, market purchases, even with general flight, i got stuck when jumping through a gate. Even tried the JC problem, it didnt work. Now considering that your rebooting the server now to fix it i guess i owe CCP employees a round at the pub next fanfest. I did say if you fixed the problem within the hour i'd shout a round :D

Edited by: Rokaan on 07/05/2010 12:44:38 Bookmarks created and dragged to cargo are simply named 'bookmark' without any further details, moving one to a station hangar resulted in it then showing correct naming, which remained when it was dragged back to cargo, but it still won't drop in people and places.
Anyone want to start a lottery on how long 'till reboot?

The problem appears to be that the database was randomly locking things and leaving them locked, or randomly NOT unlocking them when it was supposed to be - a couple of my Hulk-flying roomates reported they were having issues trying to use specific mining crystals, that wouldn't unstack or in one case flat out refused to go into a mining laser. Also watched some "not going to stack some items" issues in our LSAA.

Things on my list to do: 1. Cry. A lot. Because I have the mentality of a child. 2. Threaten to cancel my accounts 3. Remind people that no they cant have my stuff because #2 is an empty threat. 4. Express my inability to understand the nature of computers and networks. 5. Demand a refund for time lost pro-rated to the nearest 10th of a second. 6. Ignore comments that point out specific parts of the EULA 7. Log on to my other accounts and repeat
Yes, It's a repost but I think I'm that funny and you should too. Vote for CCP Navigator for CSM.

funny thing is like 3 weeks ago this was already happening. i put in a petition for it and i got no answer. i reported that npc from missions ended up following me to the solar system hub. 85 km from the hub and in range of concord guns. man that was funny. 3 of em in space. i don't know how that works how i warped out of me mission to go back to me agent and they were still in space before i docked. i think eve has got serious problems with clearing buffers, i mean could be a simple error left in there when it was last debug, one stroke of a key is enough to create a chain reaction.

No massive changes in two years probably. So, anything interesting happening in Eve, generally speaking? 
I checked the map and I guess BoB changed its name and a blue blop appeared to where Goons used to be. And no, I'm not going to read it up from CAOD. The place makes little sense to normal people.

Db issues are nothing new, we've had them since I joined early last year.
Now if only a little bell would ring and somewhere a sign would pop up that sort of gave a guiding hand to CCP that they should be fixing existing problems before releasing new updates, then the world would be fine.

Edited by: Avalon Ranger on 07/05/2010 15:00:31 I understand that issue can arises and if this continued for, say, 24 hours then I would also be joining the band wagon to ask for some form of compensation.
However.
Rather than whining about it and saying it's not acceptable when we all know mistakes happen I'd like to suggest that once it's sorted you explain in as much detail as legally possible why the even happened. I dislike being left in the dark most of all. I will grant that mistakes are made and can happen but proof and reasons would be an intelligent step forward.
I assume that during some routine maintenance someone did something wrong and now you're having to do the good olde Database Recovery. Please in future after an event such as this you give us a write up.
Ignore the threats as they're mostly empty, much like the lives of the people making them, but at least let us guys and girls waiting quietly in the background for the error to be corrected the decency of a good explanation.

You're a paying customer that can't read a EULA.
Yes you are, when playing. So you pay for play, i think someone goes to a lawyer, can win easily their compensation, own created EULA not equal with law.

Unscheduled downtime happens every now and then so it's not that big a deal. Would be nice to get realistic estimate though. I dislike waiting for the deadline to come and go only to get another one for an hour or so later. I could have done something more productive if I knew it was going down for this length of time 3 hours ago!

It's done. New fence measured, cut and installed. Mess cleaned up. Tools returned to their appropriate places in the workshop. Second cup of coffee in play.
Hurry up and fix this thing before she finds something else for me to do!!!

I'm going to assume this is a server side code issue because that's what it sounds like so far. in situations like this you can get an estimate but that's based on if the code your writing to fix doesn't cause a significant error. IF and i say IF that error happens they have no choice but to change the ETA. The fact they wait so long to update is because they're loathe to force extending downtimes if at all possible. I know everyone hates it but sometimes its just how it has to be. Considering their downtimes are supposed to be an hour and tend to be less than that sometimes by 15 minutes or more. Burps like this are unwelcome but survivable if you ask me. Now i'm caught the wrong way along with a bunch of others but the fact is they ARE trying to fix the issue as fast as they can.

That's how it is in the IT world. I laugh at my customers who ask "when will it be back up?" when we may not even know yet the problem, the fix required, testing the fix in non-production, etc, etc...

Hi Eve, I've only being playing a few months and recently noticed Gallente Destroyers wern't rendering properly in many instances, especially in mission environments, The Catalyst appears to have two parts with one floating behind it...which I thought I should mention. I'm using a Gforce go 7600 NVIDIA card on a kicking clean system, also i noticed my hard drive start to make strange tapping sounds since I installed eve, Which I assumed was just a glitchy disk error, So I ran chkdsk Mbsa etc and it still taps whenever I play, So I'm worried the game is damaging my computer's memory, I hope they fix this soon, I'm starting to break a sweat, OMG Eve withdrawals, I'm going to run a hot bath and worry about real stuff...thanks

EVE's not killing your memory. Clicking is a perfectly normal, and annoying feature of older Hard Drives. Geforce Go....I'm assuming that means laptop in which case that's your real problem right there. Integrated Graphics.

Well the point is moot.. Even the Brits have adopted UTC and only the older generations still refer to it as GMT.
and P.S., I highly doubt that calculating the time from atomic clocks would take more than a few milliseconds... Unless the Brits are doing the calculations with their mechanical computers that is... :D

Actually i get this as well, my hard drives are by far 'old' and my graphics are not integrated graphics. This still happens, so its hardly going to be one of them two.

This little downtime's been good. I've caught up on 0.0 politics, played some Freelancer and prepared dinner for the FiancTe and myself.
In half an hour to 45 minutes, a home made Spaghetti Bolognese will be served up and eaten, along with a glass or two of Red Wine.
Then, I'll continue to play Eve while getting very, very drunk and passing out next to my computer.
(I would say a night of hot, steamy love making, but being together this long... it tends not to happen very much anymore...)
Thanks for the afternoon off, CCP.

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.

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
MY PERONSAL NOTE BACK TO YOU. I have more than 20 years of experience with systems operations, enterprise networks, and global telecommunications. So THANK YOU for sharing your lack of knowledge in system operations.

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 :)

Why not just say "we're working as hard as we can to bring the servers up, and they will be back up when we're satisfied that they're running correctly".
Better that than keep extending it by another 30 minutes every 30 minutes, I think. Well, they extended it 2 and a half hours now, which just makes my point even more valid.

well..... an expected 20 minute reboot is now expected to take a total of 6 hours and 30 minutes. This is just great. The night I get the chance to play eve all night, its screwed up. So much for a quick reboot...... Guess II won't be shouting any beers then. CCP, you need to have a failsafe with this. An alternate server perhaps. Have it with the skills from the previous downtime so we can keep playing when things like this happen. It bugs me enough having downtime right in Australias prime gaming time (bout 9pm it starts in Brisbane which I usually log in 2 hours before hand). I enjoy playing through the night on my days off but these over extended downtimes really make it hard for me to play it. So seriously guys, you need a failsafe for this. A duplicate server could be in order at least.

Good thing i'm still at work and are having a birthdayparty tonight. So at least I've got something to do.
Offcourse I know some other things to do, but I won't mention them, because they'll get censored.....

Dude... as soon as you saw the word "database" in that sentence, you should have planned for eight hours of downtime, minimum.
In MMO's every epic 8 to 24+ downtime I've experienced has been due to some brutal database error.

You know, it's not so hard to add more skills before downtime. If you always kept your skill queue 100% full, this wouldn't be an issue. I know it's hard to comprehend, but a little foresight goes a long way these days. A full skill queue means that you'd survive (at the bare minimum) 24 hours of unplanned downtime easy. It's your own fault if you don't utilize the tools that CCP has so graciously given you.

Okay, lets see if in your infinite wisdom you can work this one out.....
- I log out and I have 1 day 3 hours training in the queue.
- The next time I log in (which was 1 day later).....oh, hang on, I cant log in because Eve is down.

Yes, yes... don't you read the press releases? CCP said they will refund all players one day for each minute they lost. You should pray for an even longer downtime so CCP can pay for your account in full for the remainder of the year.

I am quite fortunate as my cousin works for CCP so I have been able to get information of the current issue. I see a lot of people are asking for information on what is wrong, how long it will take to fix, what time it will be up again and some are even accusing CCP staff of lying over what they have said to date. CCP staff are working very hard to fix the problems and they just need people to show some patience.
As I say my cousin has given me the information that a lot of you are asking for, so I'll post it here, but please do not ask me to identify him as he could lose his job over this. Basically, the game is broke, it will take CCP as long as it will take them to fix it and it will be all up and running again as soon as it is fixed. Oh yes, and you won't be getting any compensation.
You're welcome.

Originally by: LOOKACYNO You know, it's not so hard to add more skills before downtime. If you always kept your skill queue 100% full, this wouldn't be an issue. I know it's hard to comprehend, but a little foresight goes a long way these days. A full skill queue means that you'd survive (at the bare minimum) 24 hours of unplanned downtime easy. It's your own fault if you don't utilize the tools that CCP has so graciously given you.
Okay, lets see if in your infinite wisdom you can work this one out.....
- I log out and I have 1 day 3 hours training in the queue.
- The next time I log in (which was 1 day later).....oh, hang on, I cant log in because Eve is down.
.....could you enlighten me as to how I could cure this oh mighty one?
You could start by logging in for 45 seconds once a day to keep adding stuff to the queue? You have the tools in front of you to keep the skill queue full all the time, it's not a perfect solution by any means. But you could not have the skill queue and thus have absolutely ZERO chance at keeping the problem from happening.

All you biatches whining about being owed four hours need to consider the extra time that's made available, free to you, practically every day with every sub-hour downtime.
I'm sure CCP are working hard to fix the problem ASAP, in the mean time, I'm going to do something productive with my suddenly free time, I suggest you stop bleating and go do the same.

Actually think The Pacific is quite good...for starters it has Isabel Lucas in it so straight off it has to be good. Secondly its totally spot on historically regarding weapons and uniforms etc. and does a good job of expanding what 'Flags of our Fathers/Letters from Iwo Jima' attempted i.e. a more realistic and accurate portrayal of the Pacific War in all its gory detail.

What about all the time that servers come up faster than the scheduled one hour? Do you object to paying more for that amount of game time? It's only a few hours of downtime, it's not that big a deal.

This intrepid reporter has found his way to the secret CCP database storage facility in Iceland, following the terse announcement of Eve's kidnapping. What he found is utter pandemonium. According to sources that wish to remain nameless a person by the name of Tuxford escaped the dungeon, (codenamed: the mail room)where he was sentenced to following his sad misfortunate RGE lapse last year. He was aided by this by a renegade faction of the Iceland-is-cold-get-me-out-of here Hamster brigade, also known as "EEK". It remains unclear how the Hamsters were able to gain access to Tuxford who had been kept in solitary confinement most of the time. It has been suggested they made contact after successfully detonating a vulcano and using its ash cloud as cover. Here is what we do know: Sections of the Hamster brigade, along with aforementioned Tuxford remain barricaded in the data base center. Their demands have not been made public. Maniacal laughter is reported to be heard from behind the shuttered doors, followed by cascading fail messages. A special squad of Dev's has been on standby to assist in the apprehention of the culprits when the database doors are finally breached. Current time estimates to that event have proven unreliable and have been pushed back several times. Fans of Eve are staying glued to the forums for further updates.

Thanks CCP
Have you ever troubleshot a technical problem? No, don't answer that, obviously you have not.
The first thing that happens is you get notification of a problem. In CCP's case many tears flowing their way. So, you say, "Give me just a few minutes to look into it. ETA 15 - 20 minutes". 45 minutes later you realize the problem is more serious but you still don't know for sure so you notify your client. "Best guess is a couple of hours." because that's generally how long it may take for typically moderate issues. So you go about you're merry way troubleshooting the issue one problem leading to the other but at this point you have a better idea of what you're dealing with. An hour and a half passes and you realize, "Hey, this is more serious that it looked, notify the customer.", "Mr. Customer, it's going to be a couple of more hours, we think we are on to something but it looks like we'll need at least a couple of more hours." and so on and so forth until the problem is solved. Until CCP has a real handle on the issue the only time they can say for certain that it's going to take to fix it is 5 minutes to forever. So better to tell the client "a couple of more hours" every couple of hours. Unfortunately, the only time anyone has a real handle on none-routine technical problems is typically when they have them fixed. So, it'll be fixed when it's fixed and you'll be able to play your precious game.
Troubleshooting is not a point a to point b process. You can't see that there is a problem and then determine which and how many steps you'll need to fix it.

Since I only play a few hours each day, I am not playing 23/7. But I paid for 1 month at a time. That means I should have, to do an average, 30 days x 23 hours = 690 hours of playtime. Since I only play a few hours each day, again to do an average, 3 hours each day, that means I have 690 paid for hours / 3 = 230 days before I should need to pay my next monthly fee.
What do you mean that's not how it works?

Well some of us are paying for eve with isk, considering that some players are young or they don't have work because there just simply isnt work in some areas we cant exactly afford to pay for eve with actual money. like myself for instance. i need to play eve and make isk to be able to pay for the game so it isnt exaclt fair on everyone.

Name one time in all the crashes we ever had, where that happened. name one.
What about all the time that servers come up faster than the scheduled one hour? Do you object to paying more for that amount of game time? It's only a few hours of downtime, it's not that big a deal.
heh. im not disagreeing with you. I actually think CCP dont do that bad. The only criticism I have with them is their tendenancy to say, hour til fixed...... hour gone, ok another hour...... hour gone, maybe two hours. I rather they just say, watch this space, then give a totally inacurate answer. and before anyone says, dont rage on them for that, it not the first seven times they done it. Better Protocol can be thought of for this.

... you tell your coworkers to "Fly safe!" when you go home.

Thanks CCP
Have you ever troubleshot a technical problem? No, don't answer that, obviously you have not.
The first thing that happens is you get notification of a problem. In CCP's case many tears flowing their way. So, you say, "Give me just a few minutes to look into it. ETA 15 - 20 minutes". 45 minutes later you realize the problem is more serious but you still don't know for sure so you notify your client. "Best guess is a couple of hours." because that's generally how long it may take for typically moderate issues. So you go about you're merry way troubleshooting the issue one problem leading to the other but at this point you have a better idea of what you're dealing with. An hour and a half passes and you realize, "Hey, this is more serious that it looked, notify the customer.", "Mr. Customer, it's going to be a couple of more hours, we think we are on to something but it looks like we'll need at least a couple of more hours." and so on and so forth until the problem is solved. Until CCP has a real handle on the issue the only time they can say for certain that it's going to take to fix it is 5 minutes to forever. So better to tell the client "a couple of more hours" every couple of hours. Unfortunately, the only time anyone has a real handle on none-routine technical problems is typically when they have them fixed. So, it'll be fixed when it's fixed and you'll be able to play your precious game.
Troubleshooting is not a point a to point b process. You can't see that there is a problem and then determine which and how many steps you'll need to fix it.
Simple Fix. Reinstall Windows 98SE. 35 minutes and itll be all fixed

All i can say is,, i am happy i got my skillqueues filled,, so,, apart for me needing my eve-fix of the day, take ur time to get it sorted properly guys .
And to all the whiners,, seriously,, appreciate what you have, instead of whining when something brakes. Considering the amount of data being transferred to and from the db all the time, i am amazed that there ain't more problems than there is,, i think we should all THANK ccp for the enormous task they're taking on, to entertain us all, instead of nagging when something now and then goes wrong.
Kudos to you all at CCP.

Sooo, in your entire life, You've never encountered a problem and said, " Ok, I should be able to fix this in an hour. " And then 4 hours later you still haven't fixed it? They give the best estimates they can I'm sure. And then when they figure out it's not as easy as they first thought, they revise their estimates. I doubt the overlords of CCP purposely give us the wrong estimates so they can sit back and watch the rage.
But I would, Kids are entertaining.

Dear players, Tranquility is down due to database issues, we need to extend the downtime until 20:00 GMT / UTC. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
All I wanted to do was change skills cause I wont be around this weekend. Oh well, another 48 hrs of skill time lost. Thanks again for you patience.
Maybe, we can get a 7 day que instead of 24hrs? Remembering to log in for skills is a pita. No reason playing with all the lag. So, just change skills and pray for the best.

My account is about to expire in about an hour. Can't extend it until Monday. Was hoping to make the most of my game time, before it expires and before the weekend. Guess I won't be able to. So much for the server being down for 20 minutes ...

<tech crap>
I'd be surprised if they only backed up like that, more common to use transaction log shipping for "constant" backups (Yes, yes I know they are not constant, but the time frame of backups is down to the DBA's running the MSSQL cluster. It's near enough to be counted as constant in most cases - 15 minute shipping is common depending on the size of the DB)...
MSSQL can be quite stable and is widely used so there's not really much point blaming MS - it's more common that the issues are caused by the way the DBA's design/implement things or the coders interact with things.
I'd be surprised if there wasn't a rollback personally, least there shouldn't be "much" lost of they do use log shipping.
</tech crap>
Yes I'm bored :P

If at D/T every day they make a backup before making changes - why wouldn't they roll back to that and let it run on that DB whilst they worked on whatever problem they caused AFTER the backup during D/T
Bearing in mind no one would be losing anything as the damn thing crashed pretty much immediately after D?T anyway so no one could really have accomplished masses in that short window? CavScorpion CEO - GZS-R Minmatar Fleet |

they do part backups each downtime coz to so a backup for the WHOLE of eve in less than 10 hours would be impossible they doo rollbacks in reinforced noded systems coz they have second to min to min backups for checking for where problems arise so they can roll back them but not the whole of eve think bout how oftern the sisi servers is updated it takes MONTHS between them and mainly coz it takes HOURS to just copy 1/6th of the data that eve uses (at very most)
its better to fix the problem than restore and get the same problem a few hours or days later i say props for ccp for taking eveything down to fix a problem that was making it impossible to play eve properly all i ask is that the gods let ccp find and fix the problem asap so i can get my eve fix for the day

I think the point that your missing is that CCP are claiming that the problem is database related. It could be anything from someone unplugging the damn thing to something deciding it doesnt like fridays and frying itself.

Ok - RAID isn't backup simple as that. It's redundancy intended to keep systems online during a partial failure of 1 or more drives/controllers.
Originally by: Falkrich Swifthand

Yes, it can be. Which could quite well explain extending downtimes when the cluster goes haywire. Really depending on the database, number of records, number of transactions etc etc. It's diffrent for every setup to be honest.
Edit: Shortened that second quote, didn't look quite that long when answering it!

You guys complaining about sisi being busy, you do know why right?
It has very little to do with Tranquility being down and very much to do with the fact that every account currently has 2 of EVERY faction navy and pirate ship accredited to it. They have to be redeemed like the other freebies CCP give out. Its in preperation for alliance tournament testing/training.
Now that I've my 5 accounts done, I offer this info for free, GL crashing sisi :)

Known issue being the key words here. Say you're watching a movie, and from 1:06:05 to 1:10:10 the data on your DVD has been scratched. Do you think skipping back to the 1:06:04 is going to magically make the data from 1:06:05 on work? Nah, you need a disk doctor or some toothpaste.
EDIT: Also pretend you didn't know about the scratch until you get to the part that doesn't work.

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...

.... 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

I am pretty sure the Eve database servers are not the issue here. I am pretty sure CCP has enough common sense to run them in clusters and to do proper replication on them just in case the SHTF.
Just doing a restore on it is not the issue either.
Somewhere, some code, really screwed up and is feeding the DB garbage.
GIGO
(Garbage in garbage out)
Right now the ccp devs are debugging and stack tracing thousands of lines of code to figure out what is feeding the DB garbage.
Have fun devs!

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 the need to throw a few more ISK at this
So you (and others) wouldn't moan if that entailed your monthly payment (or whatever you choose for a payment cycle) went up as a result of providing for that?

Originally by: DJB16 they do part backups each downtime coz to so a backup for the WHOLE of eve in less than 10 hours would be impossible
i do not think there exists a hard drive large enough that cannot be copied into an image in less than an hour. More hard drives can be copied in parallel.
Actually, doing this is not the smartest route to take. What they probably do (it depends a little bit on the manufacturer of the storage they use, but the general idea is the same for all), is that they create a 'snap'. This snap is basically a point in time, rather than a true copy of the storage. Next, they start up the databases/server(s) again. From the point of the snapshot onwards, only the stuff that differs from the situation at moment the 'snap' was taken will be written to storage. Meanwhile, the backup can be made of the 'snap', since that data is still there. Once the backup is finished, the 'snap' is destroyed. This means that all the 'old' versions of the stuff that changed is thrown away, thereby releasing the storage. This is the 'HP' way.. EMC does it the other way around, roughly....

I say thousands because chances are they know the function, or at least the module that is feeding that particular row and/or table (most RDBM's can give you that info now days) and are just now trying to figure out what is wrong with it and why its doing what it's doing.
I certainly do not envy them atm.

Fair enough :) Most people that tend to be in the "spend more money" camp also fall into the camp of *****ing about price rises to fund them... Can't argue with someone who wouldn't have an issue with it.

And then i lost about a days worth of training. Nowdays that never happens thx to the skill queue;)

Perhaps it is good that the downtimes get progressively longer as the database gets worse. This may be the kick up the backside that CCP needs to address the underlying issues that the game is not quite holding together reliably which is a totally different statement that Eve is dieing.
I've been playing & paying for years now & the reliability gets worse every month. We put up with lag, disconnections, database issues & content update which is unnecessary & wastes time which would be better spent addressing the underlining reliability issues. I would sooner stick with existing content for a few months knowing that development time was being better utilised and then we might look forward to major updates that achieve the result of enhancing the overall game experience by giving more stability.

So, apparently the EVE database is broken. Or rather, EVE itself really is the database. Do you people have any idea what disasterous effects a database corruption might have on EVE when allowed to propagate unchecked? Obviously not. But CCP did the right thing, IMHO: immediate shutdown of everything, and don't turn it back on until it's 100% fixed. Which probably means unrolling faulty database transactions (and the whole branches of faulty transactions that followed from each one), partial restores, etc. It's just gonna take time. And I really rather they DO spend that time, than catering to the spoiled brats I see whining about not getting their fix for a few hours.

If there is downtime everyday for an hour thats over 24hour downtime each month which equals a day plus extra. All the extended downtimes would mean we lose atleast half a month of eve each year!

Positive: Gave me time to buy Fallout 3 on sale and start downloading. Almost done now.
Negative (and a lesson learned): One of Two character's queue emptied an hour ago. Lesson learned: Put in a multi-day skill to be learned, leaving it as the last in the queue all the time. Put in more useful skills ahead of it. If the server goes down at an inopportune time, you're safe for a few days. Ok, so it's a lesson more skilled and experienced players learned log ago. I only just figured it out. I'm only used to the NORMAL downtime.

I would sooner stick with existing content for a few months knowing that development time was being better utilised and then we might look forward to major updates that achieve the result of enhancing the overall game experience by giving more stability.

You beat me to it Orbite. It is very expensive to run these when you account the cost of everything. Funny thing was I wasn't referring to the cost to begin with. I was talking about the brainpower to do this. I would like to see all these whiners on here try to program this game and get it to run. Understanding and writing C+, SQL or whatever program language you use isn't a day at the park. |

6.72 mil EUR a year. And obviously they dont lose anything when they screw it up. My company keeps a trade market price feed ( 25,000+ requests a second during peak time ) battery of servers with alot less EUR. If its down only a minute we're out of business.

I would like to know one thing. How was this caused was it a sneaky database or code change added in during down time that has gone horribly wrong. Or was it a hardware failure.
Why you may ask do I want to know this, the reason is because on a Friday a lot of people re gearing up for the weekend and most staff like to get out early to chill and relax so why apply a change then. If you must apply changes that are not mentioned to the community, that have the potential for this kind of impact then apply them mid week and not at the weekend when your support staff want to get away and us players want to play.

No - your calculations are incorrect. It is 300 000 accounts x 14 EU = 4 200 000 / mount which is about 140 000 per day...

Last I heard, there were over 250k subs. So your number is substantially low
the number of paid accts is over 450k with that said just because you only see 21k logged in you dont really understand that there a mnay sockets those sockets go into the server you may have 10 sockets going could be up to 200k playing at any given time those numbers are just random numbers of online players but i think you get what im saying

They're not going to tell you. No matter how many of you ask, they're not going to bloody tell you. What MMO has explained exactly what caused something? They just say they found the damn bug and fixed it, regardless of if it IS really fixed.
Stop asking people. It's old.

I'm pretty sure that you don't know how many TPS CCP's DB server's run at (nor do I) so I strongly suspect that until people do have that information you can't compare it do something you deal with/work with. Finance and Gaming create diffrent types of load on their hosting platforms (I know that from experience) - direct comparisons are pointless. If you do know the scale of the TPS the CCP DB's deal with feel free to enlighten us all.
Also take into account that datacenter space in the UK is not cheap, it's one of the most expensive places inside Europe for hosting - Power, Transit and Space all cost a fair bit more than in other places. These things all have to be taken into account. It is however one of the best places for "central" connectivity over to the USA, Russia and Europe.
If you factor all of that it, it's likely going to be costing more than you expect.

would be nice if all the players will stop paying for one day ( i.e. only reactivate your account one day after it expires ). wanna bet CCP will start compensate after that ?

I agree. At this point, I'm starting to think we deserve a compensation, if ONLY because we were told in-game, right after DT I might add, that it would be 20 minutes.
Well, I've got reasonable compensation even. For as long as the server's been down, take that amount of time, and give EVERY account that long to have a 100% skill training bonus. Let us get our time back at least. :/

This is what happened;

or

would be nice if all the players will stop paying for one day ( i.e. only reactivate your account one day after it expires ). wanna bet CCP will start compensate after that ?
I don't bet. And obvious answer is obvious: They won't. ________________________

I agree. At this point, I'm starting to think we deserve a compensation, if ONLY because we were told in-game, right after DT I might add, that it would be 20 minutes.
Well, I've got reasonable compensation even. For as long as the server's been down, take that amount of time, and give EVERY account that long to have a 100% skill training bonus. Let us get our time back at least. :/
Sorry to mention it again but not every problem can be estimated timewise accurately. I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't have said 20 minutes if they had known the extent of the issue (which we still don't know what it was...)

Well, if it turned into maybe an hour or two I can understand. We're bearing down on 8 hours. This really is a bit much. Don't spit on my cupcake and call it frosting.

Originally by: Revchan Wow....people love to complain. You should be happy we have the technology to actually have games like this where you can play with thousands of other people. Does anyone even realize what it takes to create and run these games?
and do you realize how much they are paid for it ? 40000 players paying 14 euros per month on average ( and dont tell me about paying with isk because the plex's are originally bought with even more EUR ) means 18.6 THOUSANDS EUR per day.
Last I heard, there were over 250k subs. So your number is substantially low
the number of paid accts is over 450k with that said just because you only see 21k logged in you dont really understand that there a mnay sockets those sockets go into the server you may have 10 sockets going could be up to 200k playing at any given time those numbers are just random numbers of online players but i think you get what im saying
Well that is impossible because the record of most players online was just recently broken a month or two ago? Which I think was only around 80k players - could be wrong on that number but I know there has never been close to 200k online

NOooo... But the little glitches that had been then CCP would have spent 6 hours browsing forums and hopeing some nub has coded an odd special way driver to patch the patch of that bug.
Tbh, stop acting like linux is a solution to everything. No OS is better then the guy u have to operate it, nor the complexity of the things u use it for. And tbh, id rather have them knowing how the f* to fix it, then haveing to read manuals "how to" like every damn linux software.

unfortunatly the hamsters CCP hired to run the server were using the ingame browser and came accross this:
http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/365112/Animals+must+go+to+war
upon seeing that the hamsters would be quite useful in launching hand grenades and using .50 calibur weapons, they decided to enlist in the war against cakes, pies and gremlins.....
CCP is currently looking for other rodents that wish to keep the server alive.

Don't bother they aren't ridged enough and the wounds caused by the spikes can become infected. Overall a disappointing experience.
fantastic. i love it when sores become infected. i like squeezing the pus out of them so it lands on a mirror and i can smudge it in... :)
i am know for it... how many people do you know that have taken a pint glass to a porta toilet and scooped a pint of blue liquid and **** and downed it? that will be me mainly then... lol 3 weeks in hospital after that didnm't work too well though
That being the case, may you lave lots of fun with your cactus. I Salute your level of depravity sir.

no, this game sucks. sign for the closed beta: http://www.blackprophecy.com/
BP has been 'waiting for closed beta to begin' for about four years now.
In the mean time, they have numerous fanboy sites for a game that doesn't exist. They have all kinds of interesting fanboy merchandise you can buy (last I checked it was shirts, caps, keychains, calendars, posters, etc).
In reality, I don't think BP is actually a game. It is just a few guys with some amazing CGI skills that are making some really nice looking videos - and filling their pockets with money selling shirts.
I originally signed on to the closed beta in mid-2007. At that time the game already had a few fanboy sites up, and tons of talk. Once in awhile I get another email telling me more about some new BP product for sale, and nothing about any intended release date.
Have to give them credit though, they seem to be making lots of fast cash on something that doesn't exist in the first place. Good call on that one.

Simple explanation. Captive audience. Eve players have invested time and effort into their characters. The more a person invests to his characters the less CCP has to actually provide him with a reasonable gaming experience.
Its money. CCP has been devoting resources to gaining new players (see: Planetary Interactions, Dust, etc.) rather than providing a quality product because that's where they'll get more money.
Period. There's your explanation.

Well, at least I had an opportunity to finally take a shower.
Oh, and I discovered my mom is still alive! Yeah, it seems she's been living upstairs the whole time. When I have stuff delivered (food, beverage, etc..) I always had them bring it to the basement door so I wouldn't have to walk far. This time though, after sitting in front of the login screen for several hours, I finally decided to explore. That's when I found her upstairs! It was like destiny or something. She was very suprised to see me too. It was cool. All this time she thought I had moved out of the house and wasn't visiting. NOw that she knows I'm downstairs in the basement, we've promised to visit each other.
Anyway, Thanks CCP for helping me and my mom reunite after all of this time!

Actually, the response would be like this:
"We handle each case individually and I am sorry but we are not able to reimburse you because the server logs do not support your claim for reimbursement. Our hands are tied by our reimbursement policy that you can read here at http://www.eve-online.com/pnp/reimbursment.asp If you feel you have encountered a bug, could you please file a bug report about this. You'll find the bug report form under the EVE Insider section on the www.eve-online.com web site. A detailed bug report will help the developers fix this issue as quickly as possible.

Seems someone changed the itemID reassignment code and didn't make an extensive review of the script to ensure this *DIDN'T* happen. I mean, it doesn't randomly break; it's code. Someone had to make a change that wasn't thoroughly tested.

Well, as it is, this database issue is interfering with my in-game plans. And having the problems sustained due to this issue resolved seems to likely last longer than I am prepared to wait for the night (which is understandable, since it's likely affecting thousands upon thousands of players).
However, perhaps this time (for once) you should consider compensating those who cannot do in EVE what they would be able to had your database not become corrupted with some extra gametime for the duration between the downtime until you are able to resolve the issue.
In my case it's only affecting my personal gameplans, but I imagine for those fueling towers/etc. it may have in-game political ramifications, which seems an unintended consequence of this, and should be taken into consideration.

Originally by: Adooray Hi Eve, I've only being playing a few months and recently noticed Gallente Destroyers wern't rendering properly in many instances, especially in mission environments, The Catalyst appears to have two parts with one floating behind it...which I thought I should mention. I'm using a Gforce go 7600 NVIDIA card on a kicking clean system, also i noticed my hard drive start to make strange tapping sounds since I installed eve, Which I assumed was just a glitchy disk error, So I ran chkdsk Mbsa etc and it still taps whenever I play, So I'm worried the game is damaging my computer's memory, I hope they fix this soon, I'm starting to break a sweat, OMG Eve withdrawals, I'm going to run a hot bath and worry about real stuff...thanks
QFT: Eve online is ****ing ape**** horrible on the Geforce card, which has patched 3 times since last summer. Catalyst is messed up!

Quote: The items in question are lost, not having been assigned an itemID during the normal process.
So there is no way for you to actually notice who lost which items (ammounts) without spending alot of time on logs? (which would take some while since it's just 114k items, which are aftected by the issue?)
edit: oh and those who were NOT logged in they might not even notice that there is stuff missing? so this stuff will be lost for ever then?

Originally by: JT Houndslayer Can they stop the server until they fix it. If I am having issues then many many more are. The more we let it ride the more difficult it will get to solve. I am sure whole alliances have had many items go "missing" Chaos will soon ensure, hide your women and children!! Buy Gold and a gun lol....sounds like rl
So the issue still persists then?

Some of you that are making a joke about this wouldn't be laughing if it were you that was affected.
I happend to lose a Mach while on autopilot on my way to Jita. I just built this ship and did a window trade with my indy alt. Now the ship is gone and ccp throw my +5 clone 30 jumps away. Sure hope they figure out where they screwed up and give my back my stuff. You and I both know it wont show up in thier logs.

Originally by: CCP Shadow Hey everyone,
We know you're all wondering what's happened with Tranquility today. CCP t0rfifrans has posted a news item which explains the database issues and how some in-game items were affected. You can read the news item here.
-- Shadow
So as the items are lost, I need to compare my market logs against my current stock, to detect if there is an imbalance?
Well this sounds like an awesome time reminds me of my job lol

PS: I must say though, thank you very much for being up front with us.

I had hit a grav site right before DT. I lost all the items I salvaged, but compared to what others have lost it's probably not even worth the time to petition. I think CCP has bigger fish to fry at this point.

But did anyone else notice a change in training times? I could have swore the current skill was supposed to finish up Sunday morning, and now it says Sunday afternoon. Am I simply remembering wrong, or has anyone else noticed training times pushed back by a half a day?

This all happened because 1 script failed to create UIDs?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_single_master_operation#Once_per_domain
The Relative ID Master allocates security RIDs to DCs to assign to new AD security principals (users, groups or computer objects). It also manages objects moving between domains.
RID master this crap up. No more single point of failure.
RID master has list of all possible UID. Issues unused ones to someone else to hold until needed. This single point of failure script can then simply be telling the RID master when certain UID arent used anymore.
That script fails... it still takes a long time before failure. The rid master fails... it still takes a long time before failure. ------------------------ To make a megathron from scratch, you must first invent the eve universe. ------------------------ Life sucks and then you get podded. |

I noticed the same thing. :( I could have sworn my skill ended on Tuesday. Now it end on Wednesday. Not cool. Correcting for lost training time should be a very easy operation.

So, errr ... how do I know that I lost something?
If I have 100+ market orders, how do I notice that one is missing??
If I have hundreds of different items in my hangar (because of invention and building), how do I notice that a few are missing?
If there are logs, why don't you run some automated tool to restore the lost stuff?
If there are no logs, how do you prevent people from just telling some nonsense and scamming the GM's for just a couple extra billions?
Was a rollback not an option?

Exactly, i know CCP is doing the best they can, but if you have loads and loads of assets how do you know if something is missing?

Perhaps it's really best CCP do a full system restore to before DT yesterday, as it doesn't look like sorting this all out will be feasible.
And then run a little script to correct for the lost training time.

OHGOD. I stupidly logged in just after downtime in the 'badtime'. I clone-jumped to my main impant clone that I had left in jita. I just noticed that all my implants are gone. If you jumped to an implant clone during the time the server had issues I suggest you check that you still have them. :(

What I wonder is how a script that has run flawlessly for years can just fail from one day to the next? were there any changes made to it? did the memory it was running on fail in some way? did the processor fail? Or is it one of those wierd one in a lifetime things that just happen?

All I can say it that I came back to EVE to play the market to fund my PVP. I was even given one of those e-mail asking for my return from CCP. I came back and this is how I am rewarded? 1 glitch wiped out weeks of "work". Although my wife thinks its just a game we all know how much time and mental energy goes into this. I just ask CCP to really work on getting us back what we lost.

Dont know if i have lost stuff, i'm unable to know coz i have millions of stuff (really) in un thousands of stack (i have in some place stacks of near 2000 items even altought the 1000 stack limitations), but it's ok ( i hope i didn't lost anything or anything of value )
CCP should dio something that would really i think lower the charge on server : allow remote stacking of items in hangar i'm near certain i could easily go from like 15000 actual stack to 12000 or so
too bad this happened on a friday i bet i ruined the ccp enployee week end

The window is pretty small and only stuff you unstacked at that time may be lost. You can also check your transaction log if any buy orders were answered between 11:28-12:43 GMT. You'll have to check that you received those items. You should have only if there was an existing stack. Otherwise those items are lost and you'll have to petition them. -

Well, you check your market log over the period of time that they quote. If you made a buy in that time, its missing...at least, from what I can tell, everything I did in that time frame is gone so it seems to have been a 100% failure...
If you had sales, it's someone else's problem, if you were online and moving stuff around, you're probably screwed. But any market related problem is logged just fine, and you need only look at the time to know if it failed or not.
But anyways, my production is ground to a halt cause I don't have the ISK to double buy all the materials I purchased in that time frame...sure wish they'd hurry up...you'd think parsing market related screw ups in that time frame could be scripted, but what do I know?

I cannot do that, I need my petition responded, and my problem solved. I have 10 research slots (skill based). CCP thinks I am already using 5 of them, the 5 jobs that ended durig the database crash.
This is not a simply Script Problem, seems deeper.

I was flying a Mach when the server went down. Customer service rep. messages me that they see one in my hangar. Ask if that's the one. As if I can't possibly have two. God, they really have some smart people working for them. Sure hope they aren't getting paid more than minimum wage. Matter fact I had two and bpc for an other one.
CCP, I'm still waiting for my ship and mods that were fit on my ship. Be real nice if I could get them back something soon before I decide to go play that other game and ask for refund for your fail.

Has anyone else noticed escrow for buy orders that expired after this glitch that didn't get returned? I had over 400 million isk worth of ship buy orders(don't know off the top of my head exactly how much, as these were put in over a week ago and just expired this morning), and I didn't get the funds in escrow returned to me. I canceled my remaining buy orders that haven't expired yet, and got the escrow back immediately, so I don't think it is a delay issue.
Has anyone else experienced this? 400 million is a good chunk of my trading funds...

I agree, just a quick update would be nice. I keep looking at my petition with no action being taken. I work in an ER and we always keep our patients informed of the wait times. Keeps the crowd "civil". CCP, just a quick update once per day would be nice.
