Hi everyone,
I'm not creating that new topic to ask when this feature will be back, but to know why me, and some others french members, have full acces to our Character Sheet ?
Thanks for answering, Have a nice day/evening/night, Ouki :)

Strangely enough it works for me in Firefox but doesn't work using IE. I'm new to Eve so I'm seeing this for the first time, very nice!

The Character Manager is back online for testing. It should stay online unless it siphons resources and deactivates the forums again. However, with the new loadbalancing and some hardware upgrades at Siminn, it should be quite a while before this occurs again.

That's not entirely true. It is back to an extent, the extent being that some people can use it, some can't. For me, this goes to the extent that on one computer I have access, on the other I don't. Based on some earlier t20 comments I'd guess it's due to the load balancing, but that's not for me to say.

Hope it's ok to use ECM or will it use too much res? If using it will mean the character page will go away again I know I and probably lots of other people will avoid it.
Tried to ask t20 about it on irc but the answer I got wasn't very enlighting

Basically, he is saying that we cannot stop you from using ECM (or the like), but would ask that players not to use apps that check the Character Manager at unreasonable intervals.

Define "unreasonable" :)

If you have a skill set to train for the next month and you have 3 weeks left, is it really necessary to have an app check your skill progress every hour, let alone every day? If the server load is something that concerns you, use your best judgement. :)

Me neither, but I guess it would come up in a few hours. I assume the forums team didn't open the valves to full availability if it's on testing. I guess the range of allowed accounts to view their Character sheet is quite thin and the team is probably gradually allowing more and more accounts to get to their CS page to see if everything goes well with that.
So I'd say wait&see, as usual ( Let's hope that there won't be the famous odd "Patch Day, No Play" for tomorrow ) _________________________________________

It's interesting that it works in FF but not IE. Wonder why that is (besides the fact that IE sucks)?

Most likely, one of the servers in the load balancing setup does not work with the character sheet, so if people end up on that one, it won't work.

I use ECM like only once a day to check skill progres if I have short skills on. ECM should be MANUALLY UPDATEABLE only and it would really release some stress from servers.
Heck, someone should code a LITE version of ECM that only logs on, looks what skills you are currently training and how long till it expires and saves that data. Then when user presses update button it will update what skill is currently on training.
Perhaps CCP could come halfway here and make option for QUICK skill check where you prior entering to character cheet you see data like "Currently training: Advanced Weapon Upgrades level 5, estimated remaining 5d 12h 34m 8s" or something UNDER your character display. This way This "Lite-ECM" will only get few lines of data from server and leave rest of info alone.
How about that people? ECM takes alot of less resources and CCP gives nifty little more info for players to see instantly because only MAJOR reason people use ECM is to check current skill progress, not to designe tables and schedules. ________________________________________________________ Freedom is illusion created by weird voices in my head |

I am guessing you used a bit of selected reading and missed out all the bits that mentioned some people getting and some not untill its fully available again?

I think skill training from the char sheet should be enabled.

Edited by: The Enslaver on 19/10/2005 15:09:46 Slight problem:
It seem's that the first account I add updates properly. I added the second after a few minutes, and it was ok also... Any more than that and it won't work, and if I try updating (it tries to retrieve data from all accounts at once)... It just doesn't work :S
'Unexpected response from server'. --------

Yeah, I'm getting this too - with 5 accounts.

How about someone checking whether people who can't access their character sheet are the same people who can't play the game due to recent constant disconnects?
"Load balancing" sounds a lot like something that might cause some people, chosen apparently at random, to get constantly kicked out of the game, while others don't...
Is the load balancer able to point players at servers that don't actually exist?
(sorry for the attempted thread hijack, but when I see two different "some people are affected, others are fine" subjects, I get suspicious there might be a connection)

I can play the game fine, but My Character page doesn't load for me with Internet Explorer... it does load with Firefox though, when opened from the same computer, and at the same time. o.O;

I've always been running ECM to only update when the program is opened (like once every few days), and manually as needed.
