how do yall think 'bout this?

wich would be like 50,000x that 15 hours, CCP is getting rich!!

Yes,

It's fully understandable that a game like this has it everyday, now im gonna explain this with some math.

31x ( the average month has 31 days , 365/12 )
.5 hours

15 hours of time ATLEAST that is payed for and that every player can't play.

It would be much more fair if those downtime hours were not reducted, infact. I am paying to play, so when i have payed i like to play. And i'm glad for the downtime and the active updating, but for that, we already pay.

now i agree that 15 hours a month is not much, and i am a casual player so its not like i am writing this to be a pain in one's ass. but if one would calculate this for the entire eve player database.

It's common for games not to care for those kinds of things, but when for example my IE provider simply cannot maintain to provide me with my internet, that i pay for, then i simply switch, it's their loose. So what does that provider do? Reimburse you with either a offer or anything. They try to let you feel they actually want you as a costumer.

I think im not the only one saying CCP doesn't give that feeling at all.

lol, for those players its a good thing ofcourse.
although i dont get it why people seem to find my statement unlogical in any way.

what i was pointing at is if i purchase my month, i get 30 days, ( wich isnt even the average based on a year )
then comes DT everyday, get it?

it really should be 31 days atleast...


and if anyone disagrees then come with a better argument instead of bullshit.

so @Frying Doom,

I am aware of a system like that, and i agree it's really the only way possible. And also right away impossible for eve.

but as i said before all i wanted were other people's opinion, otherwhise i would have petitioned it right away instead of dropping it into the eve community


and a tiny omg for the girl who felt i ment her when saying people arent taking this seriously - _ -

reducted

who says CCP actually calculated it like that?

for the same good matter we are paying for 30 days 24 hours a day and we're just not getting it?


oh and to stripe down any unnecesarry things:


you pay for:

-costumer support
-game time
-updates
-Server MB's


also to make one thing clear:

it is not my intention to get anything done in any way via this topic, as if that was going to happen :)

CCP stated they're working towards eliminating downtime entirely.

In the mean time, consider the day-long downtimes other MMO's have. They might not go down every day, but when they do go offline for 'maitainence', they're offline for a loooong time.

EVE only goes offline for 5-15 minutes.

Technically speaking you are paying for whatever amount of up-time we can provide, for access to the servers while they are up basically. Nowhere does it say that you are paying for 24 hour access per day. That being said, downtime has steadily decreased through the years, both in terms of unexpected downtimes and crashes, and the minutes it takes to perform the daily maintenance tasks.

The daily downtime is often less than 10 minutes although we typically reserve a half hour to be on the safe side.

Sorry about the extra downtime today everyone, hopefully the rest of your afternoon/evening/night/morning in EVE will be a good one ;)

750 hours in a month, at 15 dollars per month. That is exactly 0.02 cents per hour. You're complaining about 30 cents a year.
