With the eve server being down 12hrs are we getting a free day?
Only reason i ask is best part of all day will be taken up and mostlikely the server will be unstable in the evening what with people downloading the patch etc.

Seriously now. 12 hours+bug testing time and you want a partial credit, for prewarned and nessessary downtime? You can't honestly be that selfish about your money when these upgrades are for free, unlike other MMORPGs.

I'd consider the day's loss as "paying" for the expansion of the game. Even if everything goes horribly wrong and the server's down for 3 days, 3 days subs is still a lot cheaper than the boxed expansion pack other MMO's would have turned this into.

I don't even understand how you dare to ask.
It's a patch you're getting content, you got warned in advance.
You deserve to be banned for even thinking about this.

Would you prefer paying for Upgrades like in other games?

Hmm, 12 hours.
Probably not when you consider this is a free upgrade.

If you think you can do a better job, go find yourself a datacentre to host a box, get a copy of Visual Studio, and STFU.

You get free expansions on a game and you still ask for an extra day when half a day goes into patching the free extension in ?
Well, consider the 12 hours payment for the expansion then, of that makes you happy.

You realise CCP can easily charge everyone for the expansions don't you? They are handing it out for free, so stop being ungrateful little ****es and just bear with the delay.
Why dont you just DIE DIE DIE !!!!

I would just like to point out that the expansion is not free CCP are in business to make profit if only to invest it in another great game.
I am willing to accept the lengthy down time for new content though. I will not complain if its down for more than 12hrs as this is an acceptable amout of time for a patch with this amount of content.

there is only 1 reason CCP have to give a extra day.. that's if there for some unknown reason that the clusters where unable to be activated for the following day or even 2-3 days.. for a prewarned patch day CCP dont have to give a extra day.. we just have to prepair it with long skill trainings (that i am always happy to know that they continue to train even with Patch day )

You people need to get a clue about how MMORPG's operate.
Every other one makes an expansion and then lets you buy that expansion while still paying the monthly fee.
so yes this expansion is free.
Btw if you don't like it just quit, EvE will be better off without you anyway

Such colorful language. You surely are an asset to the animal kingdom. I dont see other games collapsing because they charged for their expansions. and I'm pretty sure eve wouldn't either.

I believe this is based on how rich a company is, or maybe how "respectful". Blizzard released many many patches with lots of content (Battle Grounds, Honor System...honor my ass, more skills, tweaks, blah) and when down time did occur they gave everyone a free day. I got a total of 5 days free already off them while playing WoW. I don't think we should except the same from CCP though it's not like they have 2 million subscribers giving them endless piles of money to burn.
I don't realy care, it just prevents me from being a carebear for another day =P And as for the dumb fools who are saying "they could release everything as expansions" no they can't. It's not feasble and it's stupid. Many people would infact leave the game (hell I would) and if the exapnsions came out as CDs instead of online orders they would be wasting even MORE money not to mention the fact that these boards will then be filled with "OMFGBBQ WTF WTF I HAVE TO PAY FOR CONTENT?!" topics. Now shut up, both sides are right in this topic but using the idea of they could make us pay is really frickin' stupid.

Sorry, there has been a slight mistake, everyone but Avon is entitled to their opinion. 
Anyways, while CCP has sometimes reimbursed for server problems, they won't for patches. And I agree with a lot of people here, they could just do like other games and make one expansion every 6 months with some free small fixes in between, or they can do it like they do today. And I admit, I've quit playing several games when I saw that their plan was to spit out a expansion every X months.
