What exactly is happening? I like to know WHAT is wrong, not just that something IS wrong.

Usually we have TQ restarting and being up withing say 10 minutes, but fairly regularly it seems to either get stuck in a loop where the startup timer continuously resets, or like today just goes back down again after timer expired. I am curious whats going on here? Is this a persistent difficult problem you cant get your head around, or is incidents where the cluster acts up after a new patch, or.... ?

Why has the launcher said that it's online with 13,666 players every time I start it?

And milk.

EVE players really take every opportunity to cry. **** happens everywhere, all the time, get used to it.

Due to start-up issues, downtime on May 17th is extended until 12:30 UTC.

We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.

Further updates to the situation will be posted here.

UPDATE 11:45 UTC: A further downtime extension until 12:00 UTC is needed while we sort out these difficulties. We apologize once again for the inconvenience.

UPDATE 12:00 UTC: It seems that Iceland's advancement into the Eurovision grand finals has put the cluster into an absolutely unmanageable state. While we try to get the hamsters into line, we must extend downtime by a further 30 minutes. Our sincerest apologies for this situation, we want this to go smooth as much as you guys.

So, have you tried turning it off and back on again?
Maybe checking to see if everything is plugged in?

If someone broke the build, he/she has to get cake for everyone! You better make in-game cake for birthdays and build breaks.

It isn't clear what is wrong and I myself can't explain it as it is way out of my area of expertise. Those that could explain it are too busy trying to fix it.

I'll wrangle up a summary once these issues are over.

It really makes you wonder if CCP thinks those tears are delicious.

FEED HAMSTERS EXTACSY!

If memory serves, that looping countdown timer you see is actually our limited clients not understanding what the cluster is doing during its start-up routines. My google fu is failing me, but the question has come up before on eve-o forums and a dev type a couple of years ago explained it in better detail.

Screw it, am defecting to Hello Kitty Online.

Dust again ? !

I actually have to thank CCP, because what with the extra downtime I think I might make a nice sandwich.
Anyone want some?

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Also, lots of entitlement going on in this thread. Chill and go outside for an hour.

..., and nekkid photos of Icelandic Supermodels).....!

Then why are you not doing it as smooth as we want it?

You better analyse this. Did your fleet of hamsters assemble too late? Did the hamster fleet's FC undock with the wrong clone perhaps? There is a reason for everything! Find it, kill the hamster who was responsible for it, and leave his corpse in front of the house for every other hamster to see and to serve as a reminder. This needs to go smoother!!

Probably more linked to being able to change code on the fly while the server is live

No! The cake is a lie!

Ham, Cheese & Pickle please? :)

sits back with popcorn and watching the forums fill with despite people trying to get there daily fix of EVE like its there crack.

It's really not down. It's a special group of players that are allowed to play while the rest of us sit and wait. You need to upgrade to a platinum account.

OK, all you people winging like bitches out there, seriously!! harden the fk up guys!
CCP would have to be the ONLY MMO provider i know of in EXISTANCE, that actually work to Fix problems IN REAL TIME!

You name 1 other company that give you on the fly updates as to what is going on ... go on i dare you ...
