Don't care much for the compensation (a whole day!...wow), but I do think its pretty silly to have the forums AND Eve Gate go down at the same time as the game servers...during downtime, it would make sense that we can access the forums or Eve Gate to still do stuff while we wait,...instead we have to sit and wait for it all to come back online.
I mean, here's how stupid it is...you open the game client during DT and get a message telling you about downtime, and how updates are posted on the link provided. Click on the link and its 'offline'. You go to Facebook and the message tells you about updates posted on the forum page, so when you click on that, the page is unavailable because there server is down. And when the server is back up, you don't need to read about the updates, coz its already online...

Okay
So the tension around the server move erupts as the Dev team et alii realise that It Has Gone Wrong. Hell breaks loose, print-out is pored over, codes are reassembled *.....
In an attempt to give the customers some form of update, a message was put out the first place we would look - the log-in screen.
When we saw it, and the link failed, some saw this as an opportunity to follow the lousy compensation ghouls. Most thought..." Oh - that's really fouled up, then" and did something else.
60,000 customer accounts is a large number. The few whingers you see - okay..the army of nerd-ragers and pantie-waisted Mommy's Boys are no great loss if they go ( Please go). The rest of us are mighty relieved to get back to doing what we like best. The fact that in this age there is a Computer Game company that puts it's corporate hand up, and offers an olive branch to it's customers is unique, in my small experience, and is to be honoured in the same Good Faith that CCP have shown us.
Now stop snivelling, spend some learning credits wisely, and go bother an asteroid or whatever.

WOW (not to be comfused with the inferior MMO) CCP! I have to admit I am thoroughly impressed with the skill point compensation idea. You guys probably just got a few years of subscribing out of me just because of that. Good job guys. Keep up the good work.

Wow, I didn't think I would ever see the day where skill points would be handed out in EVE. I am floored.
Thank you!

Why are we picking on learning skills? They even out the odds between newer and older players and add a certain element of uncertainty & tactics to the mix. This makes it less linear and adds some excitement.

Yeah. It's awesome how a new player can spend a few months training learning skills so they can train just as fast as older players that trained learning skills a long time ago.
Huh?

If you actually read the posts instead of making an assumption then you would be really disappointed since it would mean less than 7 pages - 
Good job CCP

I just lost about 15 hours worth of training time, because my skill queue ran out during the extended downtime. Now everyone gets 24 hours of free skillpoints? That does not change anything, I'm still 15 hours behind everyone else!
really? you're gonna complain like its CCPs fault when it was completely your own? about not keeping the EULA in mind and loading a long skill in the queue? for an extremely well publicized *server move* that anyone with an ounce of info tech experience knows should take *days!*
sry, my fault... of *course* you're gonna complain... silly me...
personally, i applaud CCP's ability to pull off such a move in 30+ hours! and reimbursement? while totally unnecessary, CCP, it is appreciated...

What good is a free gift if we all get it? ISK or skill points is the only thing that would make sense. Not complaining...just doesn't makes sense to give us all the same tangible item.
Btw...I'm new, so if I'm wrong then please let me know.

As someone caught out by this "extended downtime" and not knowing an extended downtime was comeing anyway(on holiday),heres a suggestion.Why not allow us to queue skills over a 7 day period and not 24hrs.Then you wouldnt get people thrashing their laptops(ala basil fawlty)or hopeing a volcano erupts under your head office.As it was,i lost 22hrs having no skill.But at least you have acknowledged that the paying customer deserved some sort of compensation,and not the usual rubbish reply we get to petitions.

Just a quick aside here folks,(CCP). In future you may want to be a little more liberal with information dissemination,as most of the flame were basically frustration about the lack of communication to us, your customers.Just my two cents. Thanks for the Great game you have provided thus far! =)

Hell I'll complain. I'm sick of you idiots quoting the EULA, have YOU actually read it? Someone posted part of it that explains the service may go down during use and they are not liable for that. And sure, I don't blame them any time the server needs a reboot. But NO WHERE in the EULA does it say to load a 23 days skill cuz they may **** up and be down for 2 days straight.
Also, who cares if a server move *should* take 5 days? Any idiot with common sense knows to keep his old computer until after he's finished building and loading the software onto his new one.
I mean, which of you are stupid enough to sell you house or car before going out to buy a new one?
And that's why CCP said originally what, 12 hours for the move? They weren't doing this on a whim, they did have a plan, and yes something went horribly wrong and YES as a business it is bad customer service to promise something and not deliver. And an equal SP bonus to everyone does not fix the ****up of no one could update thier queues.
So anyone who had a 25hour skill queue setup for a 12hr downtime and who has been Fracked over by the server being out for 31hours + whatever time it takes for the to get to log in after dealing with RL has the Fracking right to ***** to CCP.

Here's a kicker regarding that skill pool that CCP is supposedly going to give us... Because of it, GM's are not willing to cover lost time due to not being able to log in to add to training queues as they have in the past. Since the pool will be "universal across all accounts" this means that if you had a skill that finished during the 24+ hrs of downtime, you will not gain as many total skill points as those characters who were unaffected by the downtime.
its more not that they are reimbursing the dumb dumbs that go "ohhh ill set a 16 hour skill to cover a 15 hour downtime knowing ccps track record with such things" getting bit in the ass as it is that usually they don't have a full day of downtime where at that point you feel monetarily screwed *though it breaks down to about 50 cents*
And guys you have to give them credit. they are a single shard server with an active player base bigger then the country they were founded in. Stuff happens when you are one of if not the first group to have to do something like this.
