Update: Estimating server up by 18:00 UTC.
nice- a random 1 hr downtime- i do like this game though but i personally think ccp need to dedicate more staff to look after the servers, fix some of the lag and other issues- push dust and incarnia back a few months or something
though on the plus side the 1 hr daily down time is actually really short- only 20 mins sometimes- maybe you guys need to do more work during the daily downtime

As a noob to EVE I'm fairly disappointed in the performance of the game in terms of uptime. Besides the daily hour of downtime, I've experienced at least three different episodes of unexpected downtime. I wonder if CCP's insistence on not using shards but rather a single system image is the root of the problem: a single persistent game world is fun, but with 250K+ users, it's a recipe for lag, database corruption, and network latency issues. And I'm not convinced a single persistent "world" is even necessary for about 95% of what people do in EVE. A "near time" message-passing architecture between shards would surely be good enough to preserve the illusion of a seamless world, wouldn't it?
And finally: there is no commercial database software that is free of problems. Sybase, Oracle, SQL Server, even IBM's mainframe DB2 software -- I've worked on them all, and they all have problems of varying kinds. The problem is one of architecture and design, not (simply) of database performance. EVE is suffering from some pretty classic scaling issues, which generally have one of two solutions: refactor the software to be more efficient (expensive), or throw more hardware at the problem to increase throughput (also expensive). Refactoring is the better but harder solution (and the more time-consuming); the hardware solution is the easiest and fastest, though if done badly it can only exacerbate the problem.
I'm getting the distinct feeling that CCP has simply stretched itself too thin, and has neglected some pretty fundamental aspects of the Eve infrastructure.

Originally by: Ryunosuke Kusanagi okay I will say this once. If you think you can code better than them, then why don't YOU work for CCP?
now, stfu :)
Never thought I'd say this: If you know databases even a little, you'd know how hard it is to **** one, if they are designed right.
Their first mistake was using a MS DB, the second is running it on a MS server, the third seems to be that they have MSDBA certified lusers, instead of real DBA's.
A DB is nothing more then a very advanced storage cabinet with nice labels. If you **** that up, you ****ed up your administration.
The ONLY exception is MS bugs causing this.
(presuming the DBA's have to review all code that is being executed that queries the DB in any way) ========================== Nothing is true, everything is permitted. ========================== |

Come on CCP this ain't no fuggin joke anymore!! Over the past 7 years it has been a steady downward incline into ****...service....playability....responsibility...overall game decline.
You obviously weren't around in 2003/04 because this simply isn't true. Remember Castor? Remember when 6k online concurrently would drop the server...yeah, right 7 years. |

Ok Zymurgist, it has been 45 minutes. Is the server going to be up before 19:00? Yes or no. We can't sit here all day waiting for you, if I cannot log on please let me know so I can spend my time doing something else instead of staring at the login screen.
Thanks in advance.

CCP is like a dog. Once in a while it ****s a turd that doesn't smell like ****. But in the end it's still a turd and eventually it will smell terrible. I think CCP's turd is starting to turn.

Originally by: Kalen Pavle This is what, the 5th database issue resulting in downtime?
See a trend there? Fix it maybe?
Dude its STILL ALWAYS better then world of warcraft.
When I played wow the server would randomly **** itself and would be down for days and blizzard would never even mention it and at no point would they say why something happend or when it would be fixed.
The frequency with which the eve servers have problems is at least 1/20th the frequency by which wow servers had problems.
So be happy.

If they actually spent an hour during the normal downtime to check for possible problems that could happen throughout the day this might not happen. Server usually comes up within 10-30 mins instead of Hour it's supposed to go down for each day. What do they even do during the scheduled downtimes?

Originally by: Laanndo CCP Staff only replying to immature comments like "It made me sad" etc... That is the worst customer service ever!
Give us an explanation, don't say Hamsters, don't say "we are sad" like 10 year old girls.
Your a company, give a bloody good reason and stop treating your customer database like morons.
I've always admired CCP, I have been a member since 2007. throughout my membership CCP servers die constantly and nobody explains anything and the staff keep saying stupid silly immature comments.
People have taken the day off work, or swapped shifts just because they planned to play Eve. Now we are sitting doing nothing, thanks, I could have been working and making money in real life.
Some people are thick. If they were Omniscient god-things that knew everything, the server wouldnt be down, now would it? Try to think before you speak, which is especially easy considering you're actually typing.
If they didnt respond to any posts, people would QQ about CCP ignoring their all-important forum trolls. If you want CCPs response to the server issues, read the OP and STFU.
Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. Please eat your own words as you don't have a clue what I was talking about.
The route/path I was going down, was; CCP should have an update page...that is actually updated. It would give us all news and information about the recent server down time.
Too many people in here are too quick to attack people without even considering to understand what that person has said.
Either that, or all these trolls are employed by CCP to annoy people like me who just want an answer. Disinformation tactics, so lame.

Originally by: CCP Zymurgist Tranquility experienced a database issue. Our engineers are on fixing it and will have Tranquility up and running as soon as possible. We will let you know more as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.
Update: looks like everything is up and we are monitoring for any more issues. Oh my looks like I may of jumped the gun on this. I'm sorry if I gave any false hope. Still having issues and we are working on it.
Whoever is in charge of telling you guys what priorities you need to focus on needs to be fired. this use to be a good game WTF happened? Hardly anything works. The lag is terrible. "Features" dont work. Their are all kinds of MAJOR bugs.
FFS we cant even defend/take systems in 0.0 because of lag and improperly working game mechanics. Most of us cant be bothered to do anything other than station spin or occasionally carebear because of all the BS. You can only fight with more than 5 v 5 in systems that are on a reinforced node. otherwise who got their first wins by default since the others have to wait 10 minutes for the grid to load.
Yet despite all of this and players making dozens of threads about it. CCPs focus is on DUST and new features. Well let me school you a bit:
1)Dust requires the Eve Universe. Apparently Dust also requires interactions with players in EVE for transport and such between planets. Eve players are getting extremely aggravated throwing money at CCP and not getting things THEY CARE ABOUT fixed.No Eve players= NO functional Dust. 2)We are pod pilots. we dont give a rats arse about full body avatars and going to the mall in the local station. We care about pew pew, mining, and other stuff IN SPACE. Eve is a SPACE GAME. If we wanted to play a game where we walk around and what not we would play a NON SPACE GAME. 3)WE dont care about new features and we definately dont give a rats arse about Dust. What we do care about is we are pumping $15 a month per account into this game and you cant fix the basic features. Our money is being used to develop Dust. But we have to play with broken crap and massive lag spikes. And deal with petitions that take 6 months to answer. ------------------------------
Eve use to be a good game, The support use to be brilliant but every since you guys got on this stupid Dust game our customer service has greatly dwindled. The game has become buggier to the point of not really worth logging in and the xpacks less and less thrilling.
FIX THE FING GAME LIKE WE PAY YOU TO DO!

To be honest, I say we all kidnap Zymurgist and molest HIM until the server is up. Might make CCP work a little faster?
