Eloy Alduron	Posted - 2010.06.24 23:58:00 - [241] Wow you moved a whole universe in a single day! props =) just wanted to say thanks for the extra day on the account, had a plex sitting in items hangar and account was about to expire cheers ccp
Evil Stare	Posted - 2010.06.25 00:01:00 - [242] If it had gone on another hour and 40 minutes, i'd be out of training.
Mortis Aguila Gallente Red Federation	Posted - 2010.06.25 00:27:00 - [243] Only lost 6 hours on an alt, and that was due to a brainfart on my part. Everybody should plan for the worst when game servers are involved. It's part of the gaming life. Bonus that CCP is giving us a little something to compensate us for the withdrawal symptoms. Thanks CCP.
Tereliss Verr	Posted - 2010.06.25 00:34:00 - [244] It was long, it was hard, oh crap wrong site!!!

No truly Thank you, EvE is a great place where we all can forget alot of other crap in life for awhile and thank you for making it that way, you all rock!! OMG I think I'm gonna cry
Radgette	Posted - 2010.06.25 00:38:00 - [245] Originally by: Sabr Sheppard Not sure how people are getting 31+ hours of lost access. [Wednesday] 11:00 - 12:00 - Doesn't count since it's normal downtime. 12:00 - 23:59 - Our first 12 hours without eve. Subtle hand tremors should set in after the first 6-8 hours. [Thursday] 00:00 - 11:00 - Another 11 hours. Up to 23 hours now. Insomnia is a normal reaction at this point. God help you if your queue was < 24 hours. 11:00 - 12:00 - Another downtime cycle. 12:00 - 16:00 - Four more hours of pain. This must be what it feels like when a drug addict runs out. 16:00 - Servers are back up. Only took 27 hours. Unless I did something wrong it's only 27 hours of downtime, though math can be hard sometimes... it went down at 0900 on wednesday so thats another 2 hours so were at 29now + the 2 from normal downtime = 31 add the fact it wasn't exactly up at 1600 = over 31 hours :P
Mr Epeen	Posted - 2010.06.25 00:45:00 - [246] Lets see... I've been playing for 4.5 years (13,140 hrs) I lost 12 hours on one of my accts due to not really caring to pay that much attention. I guess I should emorage now because I shouldn't have lost that 1/1095th of my total training time. Yep... That's it... I quit!!! Who want's my stuff? Mr Epeen
Dodecapod	Posted - 2010.06.25 00:48:00 - [247] good job ccp, thank you.
Jack Tremaine Caldari 2 Squadron SAAF	Posted - 2010.06.25 00:53:00 - [248] Crisis Jeist, stop whining... Go have a **** and a nap already. To CCP, I'm back after a long break and could care less if you had some downtime, and would like to say thanks for the way you've handled it and the freebees you're planning on giving out, and keep up the good work!
Cygwin Gaad Caldari The Element Syndicate Hand That Feeds	Posted - 2010.06.25 01:23:00 - [249] free skillpoints? are you fsking serious? wow thanks but many patch days have taught me to start a long skill... so 27 days left on large hybrid turret 5... but free skillpoints? this is unprecedented.
Andreea DeFuente Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2010.06.25 01:35:00 - [250] Originally by: Liandra Xi Estimated Downtime: 6 Hours Actual Downtime 31+ Hours STOP ESTIMATING THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM ONLY TIME NEEDED TO GET STUFF DONE THOUGH, IT MAKES YOU ALL LOOK VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!! What ever happened to allowing time for when things go wrong, as they ALWAYS do! Honestly not really much I can say that hasn't already been said, but this was a JOKE of a hardware deployment CCP. Tell me how much compensation would you be claiming from your service providers if as a result of their stuff up it resulted in this long a downtime, you would be claiming financial compensation right?! Screw the extra skillpoints, I want game time added to my account for the game time lost. Not happy CCP! Though I can understand your frustration and anger (I felt the same for first few moments), let me give you my view. Downtime affected only some game time and training time... This is just a game, it's not a mission critical service sustaining lives of several hundreds of patients in some hospital (those are the services where any downtime really counts). Things went wrong, ok, we'll get details later on what went wrong. CCP guys know they kind of failed here, but they want to make it up to us, so everyone will be compensated in a certain way (even if it would be as simple compensation as just crediting each account for the lost game time). It does not help anything if 154645752345 angry gamers scream around and call for the wrath of gods on all those CCP guys... You lost some game time. Yes. Honestly how many of those 31 hours from your estimation would you really spend by playing EVE? (Regarding the financial compensations in prolonged downtime - well, I work in that arena and I can tell you, things are almost always handled differently and not everything is so black and white as all that SLA/SLO documentation would suggest to be based on first three thorough readings ;)). FLY SAFE!

Ben Derindar Dirty Deeds Corp.	Posted - 2010.06.25 01:46:00 - [251] Thanks for the SP CCP, to be sure, but... Originally by: Reiisha I sincerely hope that this skillpoint gift isn't a precursor to some kind of cash shop where you can buy skillpoints for $. Or even ingame isk. ...so much this. /Ben
Nisktonhen	Posted - 2010.06.25 02:04:00 - [252] Edited by: Nisktonhen on 25/06/2010 02:04:44 I'm lookin forward to the new patch and new ship on the way =)
Tyme Xandr	Posted - 2010.06.25 02:10:00 - [253] Awesome job CCP, while you may be a little too shortsighted on downtimes, you are a class act when it comes to being generous to your customers. The SP bonus wasn't neccessary, but the fact that your offering it for a little extended downtime (upgrading to better servers to provide us with a better overall product) that shows the caliber of business people you truly are. Thumbs up CCP, i guess this is why your called 'Crowd Control' Productions.
N Ano Caldari Onyx Heavy Industries	Posted - 2010.06.25 02:40:00 - [254] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... Free skillpoints, AND A FREE SPACECRAFT?!
Neztruce Minmatar Calimae Logistics Foundation	Posted - 2010.06.25 02:59:00 - [255] People complain about lost skillpoints? Anyone remember..you know....BEFORE Apocrypha? Who can seriously say they never lost some time by missing their alarm clocks to change their skill training? And for the new guys: yea, some of us really did set alarms. To CCP: SP gift? You always did know how to make me swoon.

Please visit your user settings to re-enable images. Holey Moley that was horrible! A whole day I didnt know what to do I was shaking! ....... i was cold. Can't wait to get that gift! :P Haha. No I do appreciate how CCP does awesome things. And this was quite necessary and awesome! :P --------------------------
blyboy69	Posted - 2010.06.25 03:18:00 - [259] how do we get the lost skillpoints?mail me in game thanks
Nathan Omarr Amarr Special Deliveries Inc.	Posted - 2010.06.25 03:32:00 - [260] As a trader I have to ask: Will we be able to contract these skillpoints?

Mr Investor	Posted - 2010.06.25 03:35:00 - [261] Edited by: Mr Investor on 25/06/2010 03:44:47 sooo much love....im going to feel sick Making "unexpectedly long downtime" more expected would help in general as it is same story again and again. Quote: In gratitude for your patience, we will give an extra pool of skillpoints to all accounts (paying and trial) that were active at the beginning of this downtime, on one character per account. This skillpoint pool will be appropriately sized for the downtime time frame, universal across all accounts regardless of character attributes/implants and may be applied as each player wants. This will be done through a new system in the development pipeline and this now sound suspicious, is this maybe prelude to SP/isk/item shop mechanism ? what a "wonderful" gift would that be
Khoard Minmatar Amarritus Patriotus	Posted - 2010.06.25 03:39:00 - [262] I read somewhere that the Eve Online that's in China does allow you to pay extra to get more skill points. Like you pay a months subscription fee to get 30 days of skill training instantly. Wonder if they are going to start doing that here since now they have the infrastructure for 'injecting' skill points where the player wishes to use them.
Furionsavage	Posted - 2010.06.25 03:43:00 - [263] Thanks a lot CCP. Not many people understand the hard work you guys put in to keeping the server online. And hopefully the free gift isn't going to be some almost useless frigate with a "unique" probe launcher on it.
Glospey Airom and Rodnog Ltd.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Your post is amusing but also has scary implications. I would be VERY disappointed in CCP if they made it another game where whomever has the most cash "wins". Not so disappointed I'd stop playing though. I'm addicted :P Originally by: Furionsavage Thanks a lot CCP. Not many people understand the hard work you guys put in to keeping the server online.

Duno666	Posted - 2010.06.25 04:08:00 - [267] Really, Though, I think the biggest thing here is that CCP doesn't have to give us anything. They could have just set up EVE and shipped it, and then left it alone. No updates, no patches, no Free Expansions, no Free ships, no extra SP, no Test Server. Nothing. So the downtime went long, oh well. ***e happens. CCP shows its caliber by giving its players free stuff on top of the great in-game help and professionalism that they show. Think about it. EVE is about the same price as WoW ( if my memory serves me correctly...) Oh, but wait, then you have to buy the WoW expansions. Oh, and if you want to get anything done properly you have to be in a big guild and participate in PvP and Raids and... blah, blah, blah. I have a small corp in EVE ( ~5 people ). I have had more fun ( and more sorrow ) playing EVE than any other game, MMO, RPG, Action-Horror (I'm looking at you, RE) or otherwise. So, I have to say: "Thank you, CCP. You truely care about your players, going to extra lengths to ensure that they enjoy your game, which you have put blood, sweat, tears and many, many hours of overtime in to making your* dreams come true for us, the Players. I apologize on behalf of the Griefers who cannot see past their own ego and childishness. I already have my next 4 years of skill training planned, and I intend to be around for far longer than that. Never make an EVE Online 2 ( you're already on 11 anyway, right? ), please keep building on this solid foundation. Again, Thank you, CCP." Also, like the people above me said, I hope this "new" SP pipeline feature isn't about paying extra money for SP. While that could (probably) be justified in some way, it almost sounds you like you just want more money, and that would make me very sad.

Nothing. hahaha and who will pay for this, some of guys play for example couple of years, that point of view is childish. You dont have merchandise, you dont make $$ plain and simple. they want to grow, and make more and more income isn't it ? its not scientific project, they are not focused on 'engine' developement, minimizing lag, whatever else, they are focused on using what they have to earn more and more :D adding from time to time feature which are going to keep players in game. btw you sound like some kind of corporation propaganda officer, its so commnon nowadays for comapnies to attempt to brainwash customers Quote: So What's The Problem? Gaming has changed. It used to be that once they sold us a $50 game, they didn't particularly care how long we played. The big thing was making sure we liked it enough to buy the next one. But the industry is moving toward subscription-based games like MMO's that need the subject to keep playing--and paying--until the sun goes supernova. quote from here
ObviousTroll Alt Gallente Hulkageddon Orphanage	Posted - 2010.06.25 04:21:00 - [270] Edited by: ObviousTroll Alt on 25/06/2010 04:25:12 Originally by: RaptorXL Originally by: Shaera Taam Originally by: 0xdecafbad 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... again, tyvm! 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. No, you don't. You have no rights at all to whine or complain. EVERYONE knows when server patches, or upgrades are scheduled, it behooves you to que up some long skills for the possibility of something getting borked and the DT winding up taking much longer than expected. And if on the odd chance you didn't know this, guess what.. you know it now. Furthermore, if you had paid attention to the dev blog you would know they were not just firing up a new system, they were MOVING the existing system, and adding to it's functionality. This requires gasp omfg turning off the existing hardware, so it could be moved. Golly what a concept huh? I've been playing MMO's longer than 1/2 you whining babies have been out of your dirty diapers and it is pretty much expected by us old timers that 'scheduled downtime for patches and upgrades' take longer than expected, and to prepare for it accordingly. If that is not something you are able, or prepared to do while playing an online game. I suggest you uninstall all the MMO's installed on your computer and then shut your computer off and go outside.
