So what how is CCP going to reimburse those of us who play during the AU/NZ prime time???
most people get home have dinner and then jump online to play only to be online for a hour or so and then DT comes . mid way though a battle!!! mining op what ever your doing its interrupted.
Personally i feel those of us who live in au/nz time zone should be entitled to a discount on our subscription costs. I wouldnt say no to a plex in my hanger every once in a while.... |

They are giving free eggs to all subscribers, which is really awesome because eggs are very versatile and very tasty. |

I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

What makes you such a special snowflake? You signed up to the game knowing that the DT is 11:00 UTC and now whinge about it? I thought it was us pommies that where the whinging ones.
It's easy to get a discount on your subscription, click account management, and cancel your account - simples.

7 years (well, more for some) and still these same threads. Yes it sucks, but if it wasn't your prime time then it would be someone else's. At least nowadays the downtimes generally seem to be a lot shorter. Well, except today apparently. Starting to reimburse would be a slippery slope. What about someone living elsewhere that works nights and plays during the day, or whatever? Nah, it just wouldn't work.
In the meanwhile, play first, have dinner during DT. Gets you a slightly longer stretch of uninterrupted playing
Also, I should be reimbursed for missing out on effortless billions of ISK that were apparently possible with FW and early Incursions while I away |

I'm guessing you weren't around prior to them decreasing the length of DT.
Its 30min tops and most times 15-20min. Deal with it, AU/NZ TZ is the minority hence why DT is during that time. CCP's Motto: If it isn't broken, break it. Improving NPE

Actually it's not in UK time, it's UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), if it were UK time then it would change time for the rest of the world when we get to what is laughingly called our British Summer Time where the clocks go forward an hour.

You live in a country where in every list of "World's most dangerous shite" 8 out of 10 things on that list live in Austrailia and you're worried about losing 15-30 mins of gametime.

Please enlighten us on how you plan to run mining ops when the asteroid fields are almost empty, which they tend to be right before downtime?
If you play a European game, expect European timezone.

I thought UTC was the new GMT also known as Zulu from the time when Britain was the center of the world. |

1) "Reimrubsement" - You accept when you subscribe to eve online that there are downtimes, specifically regular maintenance (along with other downtimes), you deserve, nor are eligible for any reimbursement, just like I'm home today and can't play either. Stop being entitled, you're making other gamers look bad.
2) The maintenance are done when CCP are in their office, this isn't some automated windows update reboot, they need their technicians and developers on-site, to deploy hotfixes, server code updates, ensure things go smoothly and work, this means doing it during business hours at their timezone (Iceland).
If you wanted them to rotate the maintenance, which means having staff work shifts (developer jobs are hard enough and have enough crunch as it is, let alone scheduling people for night-shifts too), then you need to recruit even more staff, which costs even more money. |

Based on the average downtime of 30 minutes per day playtime less than the rest of the world I can confirm that CCP would be happy to refund you 22c per month for this inconvinience.
Alternatively, you can accept the generous donation of 1 PLEX every 4 years. (or 45 months actually).
That is, of course, providing you haven't biomassed your character due to the shear boredom of playing when no one else does. |

I don't know where you mine but I was mining arkonor and bistot before DT.. ya just gotta go to the right places
But i think OP is an idiot for not docking for dt.. they give you plenty warning, and if you didnt heed it its your own loss. |
