not excepting connections atm,
we are actually now 40min past 16:00 UTC if I'm converting correctly

What the **** is with all this recompensation **** I keep hearing? It's like listening to small naive children begging and yelling for candy.

Think about what you're paying for, really think about it. You're paying for a service that CCP provides, in the form of a game yes, but what you're really paying, is CCP employees paychecks, to keep this **** running, and improve upon that service.

Now, CCP is in the middle of bettering that service, in the form of upgrading the physical power of the server (get rid of lag, better staiblity, whatnot), and they're probably working their asses of right now, drenched in sweat, clutching their knuckles and running test after test to ensure this works properly and get rid of all the problems.

So, are you satisfied thinking that someone is working their ass of, to earn the money you pay him? I know I am. They're probably working harder than some of you have ever tried.

Sorry if I come across as an arogant prick, but all this whining really annoys me.

TRANQUILITY is still down. We expect it to be down for a while longer. When that will be, we are not sure. Hopefully, by the time the next expansion is ready, we will have the servers up and running. As always, thanks for being patient...

For all of you whining about lost skill training, you should have expected an extended, extended downtime. There is a reason why CCP says to put a long skill in before expansion. This I would have expected to take even longer, since they are physically moving the servers themselves.

And giving the players a free day is not uncommon, its been done before in the past.

This is actually a fairly good example to site when you are arguing for an extended training que. You only have 24 hours, yet the server has been down beyond that, of course one could argue "just put a long skill in." That, however, only works when you KNOW you will be away for a while, we were told it would last about 6 hours, so there was no worry. I am not actually one of the players, who lobbies for a longer training que, I am, however, lobbying that CCP, should definetly address the issue of lost training time and play time, especially for those who pay for a sub (which i don't) so again no bias.

Although, I suspect the way things went was:

Engineer: Don't expect anything to work for at least a day. Worst case we could be down for a week. Tell players the servers are going down and will be up when they're ready.
Marketing: Uhm, what is the fastest the servers could come up if all went right?
Engineer: Say 6-8hrs
Marketing: I'll post 6hrs then!

I think what frustrates most people is that a company like CCP, who obviously know a lot about networking and computers would suggest that a massive, physical server move is only going to take 6 hours and go smoothly. There are times I lose internet for longer just because someone accidentally unplugs the modem at home, and when it all gets hooked up again, it just won't work till the next day. Computers and electronics can be fickle and moody. One wrong line of code can mean a serious crash with potential data loss. One bump on the move and some hardware can get jumbled and need maintenance.

On a side note, while the idea of EVEGATE and having as many services as possible available outside of the game is great, it seems like pretty poor planning to have your main websites (including CCPGAMES.com for those of you that checked yesterday) down most of the day just because it's all so integrated that one cannot be running without the other.

When all is said and done, though, CCP does deliver a better product and better services than any other MMO I've payed to play.

And for all you people who can only say "Blah blah blah get out and see th world" - TROLLS!
