It'd be really kewl if CCP could put a UTC clock right there somewhere on the page. It's ok you can keep it true to CCP and make it just large enough so we have to put our face up to the screen to read it like the ingame one.

What is with the hamster jokes? They're so over done and almost every MMO has them. Let's have some originality. At least make it a native animal to Iceland (or where ever CCP is) It should be like, "need to feed the Apodemuses?"

Update. Tranquility downtime will be extended for a further 15 minutes to 12:00 UTC. We apologize for any inconvenience.
You did not hold the deadline. again.
Since you set the downtim to half an hour, it very, really very, seldom has been within this timeframe.
Most of the time, you are late 7 to 10 minutes - or longer.
10 minutes out of 30 is a third. This is not a good standard...

This isn't a rage about downtime, that happens. But why when you have a news box on the login page, news on the EvE website front page and a dedicated news page do we have to go searching through the forums to find out what is going on? I know a lot of people live on here, but many actual players never visit the forums ever, it would be nice if the information was a bit easier to find.

Shrinking the scripted DT to 30 minutes was not the smartest move for CCP. They had the 1 hour institutionalized and should have kept it regardless whether it was needed or not. If they can get the server up and running sooner, great but officially it should have still been an hour.
Confidentially, I think CCP likes whine.

I might be going crazy here but i find most of the time in on in much LESS then 30mins....
in fact i have been on within 15 - 20 mins of DT starting most nights so maybe you should check your facts on that one again. and considering this is my prime time I'm happy to see them raising the bar to 30mins as the scheduled downtime, even if sometimes they miss the mark.

So CCP and the poster you quoted are responsible because you cant handle basic account management and leave bills to last possible moment? What if there had been power failure where you live, would you ring to local power supplier and complain that you missed some game time because they dared to have a problem? Demand compensation?
If your account runs out it's either your choise or you just cant handle the fact that it might be good to pre-plan things little further then couple hours. |

I agree with you Philder, i've been playing for like 1-1.5month, and its almost always been 30mins or a little earlier, only on a few rare times it's been a few minutes later, like very few times.. And this is the time of the day i play, so i pretty much experience the downtime everyday

Not that i care myself - too many years of ccp incompetence have rendered me numb lol - but there are a hell of a lot of people who care alot about their jobs and take pride in the high quality of their products etc.
In reality, CCP are not in the quality product business, they, like every other game company7 are in the skinner box design business. They don't need to treat us well, they can keep tens of thousands of people with borderline OCD addicted to pay their salaries. |

Use the skill queue next time. It's a new exciting feature that allows you to queue skills, so you are no longer affected by these unexpected DT extensions.
EDIT: Just for clarification. You don't have to wait the queue to finish before adding additional skills to it. |

The best thing about unexpected extended downtime are these threads that fill up with awesome incoherent tears and abuse aimed at CCP's alleged epic incompetence.

Originally by: Lilith Akhkhazu Hey for all the people whining, if you don't want to encounter downtime, move OUT of Australia, or take some sleeping pills you insomniacs!
Or play a game published in Aus/NZ instead of on the other side of the planet. Playing a game made by an EU-timezone company then complaining it operates on EU-friendly timing for maintenance is... um... |

The short downtimes have been spoiling me... Back in the Trinity days, when downtimes could be hours (or days) I used to just go to bed at DT :P
Now I'll be up until who knows when finishing AE4... or leaving it until tomorrow :)
And yes, Australia still gets the poo on the stick end of dt ;)

OMG yea. I remember my EQ days.
Server eta downtime 4-6 hours, 8-12 hours later it would be back up.
You would not see a single post from ANY reps explaining any reasons for the extended DT, it would just be.
So patch days, everyone used to plan to not raid or even bother to come online, as you knew even if you were lucky, you may get 1-2 hours at the end of an evening, but then the servers would come down for an emergency fix again to deal with a load of other code they had broken.
Ah they were the days.....

went past that ages ago. Quick way to get traffic into quite 00 areas is to untouched systems ( PVE - PVP - jumps in 24 hours rat kills etc roids mined sites cleared) is to low sec direct wormholes into these 00 areas ( this can indirectly unnerf low sec as it would allow easier access to 00)

I had never done this over the last four years but after repeated delays around DT over the last month I've had enough.
This is my playtime for which I pay the same amount as everyone else who plays and yet CCP's repeated incompetence means I have whole sessions of play wiped out through no fault of my own.
Sort this **** out, Aussie and Asian players pay the same as anyone else.

You obviously remember them also.
I posted many times on SOE forums that I thought they should come up with a new formula for planed downtimes.
What the technicians expect the time to take, x3 and divide by 2.
Funny nuff they never answered lol.
As to whether CCP are any worse or better than any other MMORPG they are the same. They all have good and bad days.

Yeah... Most people have a narrow window to play in, ie after work and before sleep, and extended dt eats into the aussie/asian player far more than anyone.
Luckily the dt has been good of late, and the 30 minute dt is a great move for players here...
As I say, I gave up in the past and went to sleep early and then get up 4am and play until work time... less frustrating that way.

Well if we are going to be completely honest here, it really is not any ones fault. CCP at downtime didn't say "Lets make a few tens of thousand Eve players wait for an extra hour or so before we start the servers back up". There are things you cannot control. Yes it may have been a little more often recently but most tend to remember the bad rather than the good.
Most days you can log in within half an hour of the server going down which is pretty good.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Give CCP a break, the pro's far outweigh the con's.

This is so ****ed up, I dont even know where to start.
Mental note: NEVER schedule anything in-game that stretches across DT. Simply cant trust CCP to reliably know what they are doing.
Seems to always be a database issue. Maybe you should identify why this happens and adapt the system so that it can't happen, instead of frantically scrambling around every few days, trying to patch things up (until the next time it happens).

Then you definatly havent played eq2 lately, cause it wasnt long time ago an 8hour downtime turned into an 1.5day downtime...
And nowadays they have like 2-4hour downtimes, which turn into 4-8 hour ones, on a regular basis

Since you set the downtim to half an hour, it very, really very, seldom has been within this timeframe.

10 minutes out of 30 is a third. This is not a good standard...

Well .. there wouldnt be multiple starup failures if they did know how to fix it now would there?
We would all be online by now if thats the case.
Im also assuming you never have had to troubleshoot a problem by trial and error, as you may have lacked certain knowledge about something and had to learn in the process?

Have to agree with that.
I mean Eve is a sandbox server game where are you going to find a place where you can have thousands of players on at one time. You are bound to get issues when running a server with that many people on.
CCP are doing thier best to get the servers back on line im sure....but the amount of whining and crying in this thread is rediculas. ------------------------------------------------ Manchester meet, Sat 19th Feb 2011 Join Ingame channel Manc-meet

OMG you left a bunch of jetcans floating about shortly before DT? With all due respect, WTF possessed you to want to go do something so dumb?
If you're a miner: everyone knows not to leave jetcans full of ore lying around before DT.
If you're a mission runner/ratter/salvager: If you have to run before emptying your cans, at least you have the salvaged goods in your hold, the refineables ain't worth **** these days anyway. 
If you are mining/dropping loots into GSC's: Relax, they'll still be there after DT

I decided to make something to eat.
I made a really nice wholemeal salad roll.
I picked up a bag of cheese and onion crisps to go with it.
I got half way through the roll and realised that there was in fact mould all around it.
I dont feel like my crisps any more...

You did not hold the deadline. again.
Since you set the downtim to half an hour, it very, really very, seldom has been within this timeframe.
Most of the time, you are late 7 to 10 minutes - or longer.
10 minutes out of 30 is a third. This is not a good standard...
Oh STFU, jeez give them a break. Grab another coffee or go spend more time in the RL you're obviously neglecting if you are upset enough to be obsessed about this.
Thanks for being polite.
I work in the information technology business. and i have noticed it before.
Is there none monitoring and assuring quality management processes? The team has had enough breaks - and shut your mouth and concern your own real life.

You realize this is a game right? Your banking software or mission critical software goes down and you and your company stand to lose a ton of money, you have some thing to complain about. But again, it's a game.

I rather think that when you're a "games company" with only one international server then that's pretty "mission-critical" mmmm?

Sorry, but the moment CCP takes money to provide a service, it becomes a business. I understand they are working hard and providing an excellent game but the downtime targets seem to be slipping a lot. Personally, i want to get online and shoot things, but for some out there, their PI needs restarting, their manufacturing jobs need delivering and more starting, "Time is ISK" as they say.

Hi, I am new to the game.
Is there any way of recouping lost training time? I am not sure if I had more than a few hours of training set up this morning.
Secondly, is downtime always during the UK midday or is it rotated (28 hour day or something) so that downtime falls equally around the world - I only ask because I have a narrow window in which to play this game (I pay for) during the day, yet the downtime is always in that narrow window. Would seem fairer to revolve around the world in timezone increments.

Hilmar and Tortifrans stretched in unison and both looked out of the window at the same time toward Hekla. No smoke today from the volcano. Hilmar sighed.
"I'm so bored."
He looked at Tortifrans. "You want to go and grab lunch?"
Tortifrans looked up from the spreadsheets, which looked suspiciously like print outs of the Jita market. "Nah, I just ate."
"Come on. I'm bored."
"Well, the exotic dancers..."
"Nah, CCP StevieG hurt the ankle yesterday and CCP Shadow refuses to come out of his box unless he gets a new XBox for Dust 514."
"Well, okay, troll the players."
Hilmar sat up in his chair, a glint appeared in his eyes. "Hmmm."
"Okay, I'll bet you a lunch. I say you can't get a 100 players to emoragequit."
"You're on. Now... what to do what to do? Nerf rockets again?"
"Nobody cares about rockets, man."
Hilmar eased back in his office chair, his eyes lost in the distance toward Hekla. After a few minutes, a wicked grin spread across his face, and he nodded sharply.
"I know. I'll extend downtime a minute, and put in the five second timer."
Tortifrans looked up, paled, and then dug out the wallet. "Here you go." He handed a bunch of bills to Hilmar. "I concede. But jeezes, you're an evil man." ---

I can understand things going wrong, the part that ennoys me is that they don't resolve the various issues caused due to game mechanics.
Issues such as sov loss/gained, index falling, missions expiring and various other issues that screw with peoples hard work.
Not angry, but wished they would concentrate on resolving instability, mechanics and tracking tools to tell refund/resolve issues after they have occured. Stop adding more features, just concentrate on stability.
However it is true that the game has improved over the years. Just saying.

Any bets thats its something stupidly easy to fix like loose cable in network rack or something. Its usually smallest things that cause biggest downtimes, since none expects reason to be so easy.

Because they have a freaking downtime every day... No one should have a downtime every day. I work in IT and if our servers had to be restarted every day we would be getting new hardware or making our system techs work non-stop until they were working again.
Once a week would be fine, but WTF, 4% of the week is spent in Downtime minimum.

One gets the feeling that there are a healthy number of people in this thread that could benefit a bit from some sun light instead of the reflected light of a computer screen every once in a while...
Ask any IT professional out there that has real world expirence and they will all tell you that sometimes, no matter how careful you are, **** happens. When you deal with complex systems accessed by tens of thousands of people on a daily basis sometimes something goes wrong. From a personal and professional stand point I would rather CCP take the time to fix the problem properly and as quickly as possible, but not if it means half assing something along the way.
*sips his coffee and READS* It could just be that the purpose of your life is to server as a warning to others. |

I think your ORACLE database developers are not doing a god joob there.

And for the love of god, upgrade and improve all ORACLE SELECT sentences, it takes a lot of time for the server to handle a simple SELECT (triggered in the game).

Holy crap you get a 4 hour break? What job do you do, I want me some of that.....
I work 6 hours, 4 hour break, then work 6 hours, then 8 off for sleep. Working on RAF Lakenheath doing hospital equipment maintenance...
Hence my 4 hour window to have some fun is important to me! Especially as I was reluctant at the idea of paying monthly for a game to begin with...

There rarely has been really long downtimes even the servers would crash in middle of (their) night.
Few hours every few months doesnt change that fact.
Thank you and keep up the good work on this part.

At least this time CCP didn't kill off boot.ini on our computers with yesterday's 'hotfix'.... It gets pretty frustrating having to put up with CCP's shortcomings, and they keep adding on little by little. In the very least I hope we get some free SPs, a lot of people don't have a 23 hour window to play EVE and some SPs at least offer some sort of a semblence of an apology and consolidation prize for not being able to log in.

A tall man, of military bearing, walked into the darkened briefing room. In the room, just visible though the heavy haze of cigarette smoke, a throw back to the old cold war days, sat some of the most powerful people in europe.
ôDo you have it ?ö asked the suited man sitting at the head of the table.
ôYes Sir, I have the full analysis of our cyber warfare experiment in this reportö replied the military man as he handed out the reports to all the shadowed figures around the table.
ôIn summary if you donÆt mindö said the lady sat to the right.
ôYes Mamö replied the man of military bearing.
ôIn essence the results are dramatic to say the least. We have found that with a simple attack on one server of a games company the effects have cascaded through out the internet and in ôreal lifeö situationsö
ôWe found that traffic on many ISP servers came close to breaking as ôplayersö constantly tried to join the game even though it clearly said it would be another 1/2 hr before the game came back online. Rather than simply posting that it would be over 4 hrs before the game would come online we continually drip feed expectations that the game would be up ôshortlyö. This started a cycle to ISP overloads which quickly brought the internet to its knees.
ôWe also found that real life productivity fell dramatically as people who played the game at work constantly checked the forums and loading page to see if the game was online yet. In some cases productivity ceased all together. We expect many to ôget sackedö
ôIn an added piece of information denial we crashed the forum pages causing further frustration.
ôReal life situation have been dramatic. Many have taken to ôtalkingö to family members. This has caused untold domestic fights and in some extreme cases divorce proceedings have been started.
ôWe also noticed a rise in internet traffic to access , shall I say, ôadultö sites which has again fueled the fail cycle of ISP overload and added in many cases to the reported instances of Divorce stated earlier.
ôOthers have simply sat at monitor screens waiting for a reconnection. In effect passively neutralized
ôEnergy companies have also felt the strain resulting form increased use of electrical equipment in homes in the effected areas. Many continually ping the game server whilst watching tv, boiling kettles ( mostly UK) and playing other games consoles all at the same time.
ôIn summary - one simple denial has had untold ramifications beyond simple game play.
ôExcellent reportö said the suited man and continued ôI trust our parts in this exercise will go unnoticed and please say hello to your lovely wife and children form me.ö
The military man knew that this simple question was a veiled threat. ôYes Sirö he replied ô we chose our target carefully. A couple of hamster jokes and no one will suspect

I wouldn't mind so much, but people pay a fair amount to play this game each month, but I'm guessing those people won't be seeing any sort of compensation for losing the better part of an afternoon break to play a game they PAID for, will they.

Oh hai forum peoplez! Server is up!
     
Yup, CCP's up-time (accounting for the scheduled daily DT) for the EVE cluster appears to be very good.
Now if only they could do something about implementing a more responsive server resource allocation method when good fights happen to good people and there is neither time nor awareness enough to give 24 hours notice.

plain evil :)

What is with the hamster jokes? They're so over done and almost every MMO has them. Let's have some originality. At least make it a native animal to Iceland (or where ever CCP is) It should be like, "need to feed the Apodemuses?"
All your Apodemuses are belong to us.

Hey CCP, thanks for ruining another AU primetime, other TZ players might not mind cause they were sleeping at the time and I understand that you have to do downtime during someones TZ. I know that you will say the training queue means that we didnt lose any training time but eve is 1 part trained skills and 1 part player skills obviously earned by PLAYING THE GAME. So to make up for it -
WHERES THE FREE SP

You just contradicted yourself. Since SP =/= player skill so there for you didn't lose anything. So quit asking for free SP every time theres a extended DT. 4 hours isn't anything wait until theres a 12-24h DT before you start complaining.

I won't follow the 'Free SP' argument but I will be ****ed off about the fact that everytime there's an extended DT, whether its down to negligence on CCP's part, a solar flare or the curvature of the Earth, CCP in their wisdom dictate that Australasia's primetime is wiped.
Not a problem in Basildon or Alberquerque but its one of life's irritations in Hong Kong and Toowoomba.

Why are you such an entitled moron that you think CCP should have downtime outside of normal working hours for their timezone, just to please a minute percentage of their customers?

Would you look at this blouse.
Outside of normal working hours for their TZ?
How about switching it up from time to time?
If its only meant to be 30 minutes how hard can it be to vary it by two to three hours?
I pay the same as you dip****, so I reckon I'm as entitled as you are and its not as if Asia is an emerging market is it?
