Thanks CCP!
I love your game, take your time, make it right.
Personally, if it were my game, I would kick most of the cry babies- Then you would see some tears.

As a sysadm I know how they feel. it always sucks for everyone when stuff is down or something crapped itself. But it sucks even more for these server people with a gazillion idiots and other people nagging them every second for. When is it up???!??!
And with software and hardware today. You can do all you can with super human powers. And it will still crap itself sooner or later.
Yeah and most end users are stupid luddites who don't have any grasp whatsoever just how complex this stuff really is. They think because they know how to use google on their Costco bought netbook that they actually understand how things work. I see it all the time. My idiot sister who think her kid is a "computer guru" because she know how to use a word processor...

As a project manager for a team of 120+ programmers, id say its time for you to look for another job. One that does not involve such complicated knowledge like making sure the new setup works BEFORE shutting down the old one.
As an IT Professional...Honestly, how do you propose they test a new set-up when there isn't one to test? This was a hardware migration not a data migration, of course a project manager doesn't have to know how the work is done...just that it needs to be done by someone else. 
Do you recycle...or make a new tinfoil hat eveytime you have something to say?

CCP: You are Awesome!
I was prepared to say that even Before I read about the upcoming gifts :). Don't listens to the whiners, they just prove that they have no life :D.

What fun with that? You change in the code, cross your fingers, close your eyes and whispers "compile, compile, compile".

Congrats, Server Team, on the move!
Also, thanks for the additional QA, and thanks to CS/CM for the pending compensatory SP for the downtime necessitated by the additional QA.
Big hardware moves are a p.i.t.a. in general. Enjoy the beers, guys.

I also want to offer my congratulations for a job well done. As for the whiners, look at it this way. If EVE wasn't such a good game, there wouldn't be this kind of response. Everyone at CCP should be congratulated, but it's the server team that deserve the kudos this time; oh yea, the beer too. 
Way to go guys!

Congratulations, guys, on a well-managed implementation. Sure, there were problems along the way, as is to be expected with any implementation of this nature, but they were handled quite professionally.
My Jita colleagues report excellent market performance under a 1400-player load.
Thanks and Best Regards,

It begins... see you guys/gals in 6 hours.
Should be a bit more careful and writing such strong statements...
But I can imagine how hard you worked in these 30 hours.
And I think that CCP people did a wonderful work keeping us informed.

A little background:
I'm a sys admim for a global company. We don't have 200+ server techs with monkeys around to fetch coffee, much like CCP I think. I've been playing MMO's forever, and EVE off and on since BETA so you know I've been around the block with CCP... and I'll say this.
Quoted For Truth OP.
NEVER have a I seen a dedication level to customer support, service, and openness as the CCP tech crew exhibits. Especially over as many years as this game has been around. 'Old timers' like myself get busy, close the account, but always come back because I appreciate the level of work CCP puts in. This job isn't easy, especially with a bunch of Pebkac's that complain because they don't understand the back end of these issues.
How do you know they didn't test the router? I've tested routers, VPN firewalls, all the above, and it works in the office... then when it arrives on site, well, who knows what happens to it what with solar flares, evil hamsters, motherboard gnomes and nanites crawling around.
They give you a game where the software, upgrades, improvements, and additions are FREE. Even without a scantily clad humanoid on the sidebar telling you to buy some Extenze.
CCP is awesome, you did well. The unexpected happened and the servers weren't down for a week. If I ever come out to EVEfest (which I always try to do and it never works out) the Dev tables get a keg of Oregon's finest brew. Somehow I'll make that happen.
Thanks for everything CCP!

loool what a kissass thread. why dont you use your daddy's credit cards to donate 2500$ each to CCP right now ?
They managed to hunt down the bugged setting in multiple pieces of new equipment (and it was software, not even hardware, which is bad enough), so I actually think I'll give 'em a couple plex of spending money so they can get a round of Pilsner or something on me.
//Not sure why I buy PLEX and then activate them, I think it's just because I don't trust anyone involved in EVE enough to let them handle a recurring credit card payment. See, CCP? You've made me paranoid.

Skipped past all the replies but just wanted to add... thanks CCP and Devs, and everyone involved, for all the hard work and long hours put in to make this game better despite a few snags (and many jerks posting like they know better than you).

There is not much to say here any more. We are getting free gifts, so what is the point of this thread?
You are asking for a bit too much, wanting to complain and to accept a gift. It is time to shut up now or we do not deserve a gift.
And those who kiss butts, please, kiss a little harder. I am sure we will get a bigger win if you only suck hard enough on CCP's butts!

ok this did make me laugh.
from now on, i am going to try to add "As a civil engineer....." to the beinging of every one of my posts. it seems to add more credibility to what i am saying.
i think CCP should send these brave men and women around the world to have beer with the players that they worked so hard for. Victoria Canada beer is on me

I like to say thank you to CCP, you guys did a lot of work, that to making an experience much better in the long run. Sure there was a lot of drama going on here, Facebook and Twitter, but the thing I noticed was that the vast majority was silent, letting them work, tweaking, testing, tweaking some more and finally today going online and I was among the first 10,000 plus to log on. Certainly in the long run it will improve no matter what and hopefully it will continue.

As a proud owner of 3 account for nearly 6 years, I agree with OP. While not everyone may agree, EVE is by far better than other MMO's out there, and I thank them for continually upgrading, updating and adding more content, and basically not passing any of the cost onto is subscriber base. Other games charge for new content to make up for the graphics upgrades they get. Thank you CCP for all you do.
