Green Sur Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.05.31 12:19:00 - [92] - Quote I can see most of you have not played Star Trek Online. The down time on here compared to there is nothing. On this game you do no have the lag or the emergency maintenance that they do. It is like every other day. Also when the server goes down over here you know that the problem is going to get fixed. On Star Trek Online they just make things worse. They add content without fixing the problems they already had so this new content adds even more problems. I am glad that these people take pride in making a great game for us to play.

VIP status is used so that we can log in developer accounts for testing during times like this, without opening the server to outside connections. Right now, Tranquility is back online and we're monitoring the situation. OP updated This server down was it because of the massive connection problems people had?

Jed Clampett The Order Of Viision Brothers of Apocrypha. 12	Posted - 2013.05.31 12:22:00 - [96] - Quote Yeah could be physical networking problem at CCP gateway or load balancing router but... I wonder if maybe they didn't quite know what they were doing with SSO (Single Sign On) and through the miracle of HTML exposed some of the logon stuff in a less than secure way. Used to be the rule of thumb for high risk systems was to keep all the domain logon security behind firewall and only really let logon in hands of domain servers and special purpose (limited functionality) web to domain logon server. But there were easier/more flexible ways to go direct through web servers if you wanted to gamble that your web servers were 100% perfectly secure. And if you were a real target it usually only took a few days to find out that they weren't as secure as you thought...especially if content qnd function changed often. But I am so terribly out of date I have no more than vague idea how its done securely or commonly (not always the same thing) nowadays. I wonder about the web server and SSO side of thing because lately when EVE has disconnects -- I also tend to see a few SYN and ACK attacks on my router and EVE ports. As if some program monitoring traffic in the middle was attacking in both directions.

The servers worked just fine for me up to downtime, so my POV was different from yours. I still say CCP knows how to run their servers better than the "experts" in the forums though. If they shut down the servers, no one can connect, and they can't trace unknown connection problems then, can they? I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all.

One of the reasons why we dont play STO. We play eve online instead, because their servers are rock solid.
Melinko Shadowlord Greystone Ind. 1	Posted - 2013.05.31 12:28:00 - [102] - Quote Here's an Idea, - Take some of that 300,000 X $20 = $6 MILLION bucks p/mo, and get a backup server. Raid them together, and when changing things around, leave one of them alone, so us clients can use it while you find out if the changes work or not.. It would save you having to tell us we get no compensation for your more than once per year failures. :D Oh, and alternate the down-times, so the other half of the world can get good resources without having to play at 4 in the morning..

If they shut down the servers, no one can connect, and they can't trace unknown connection problems then, can they? Yup users are free gerbils and lab rats. But FYI CCP should be able to connect their own in-house test network to their outbound link. That way they can see the whole round trip to know if its problem on their end or generic Internet. I suspect bringing servers up had lots more to do with upper management wishful thinking that problem might just die away on its own or better yet lost program bits on server were responsible and everything would be fixed by reboot. Considering the typical time for real debug efforts -- attempting to fix it by reboot is where you typically start. At most you waste 15-30 minutes and eliminate problem being memory bits temporarily flipped by radiation etc. ECC memory only takes care of so many flipped bits per word.

Wow, you really know absolutely nothing about how database clusters work, do you? Hint #1: It's not "a server". It's hundreds of blades all hooked together, with assorted support hardware attached. Don't worry miners, I'm here to help!

Resource fairness? You are way behind on Odyssey news. No alternating DT is needed. Ice belts to anomalies includes distributing daily resources spawned throughout whole day. You can be sure ore will follow as soon as CCP is sure how to keep amount of resources tuned between hi, lo and null sec.

We apologize for this unexpected downtime, and any inconvenience it may cause. UPDATE - 11:45 UTC - Tranquility Offline UPDATE - 11:55 UTC - Tranquility has been brought back on line for testing UPDATE - 12:11 UTC - Tranquility is back online Any leads on the cause? Network issues or was it software? -curious-

Exactly how long do you wait between patches? How big do you allow next accumulated patch to grow? Problems: (1) issues with patches do not always show up on day 1 or show only in presence of later pieces of total change placed in later patches. So a few days wait between patches is good but longer maybe only delaying discovery. (2) The more you hold onto unchanged copy of software...the longer it takes to fix current bug list. On the whole CCP does a extremely good job pushing out patches in small manageable chunks without holding back overall rate of fixes and progress - Although I occasionally question the wisdom of particular patches being passed out without extra care (especially ones with which need to evolve full in game impacts) . I sort of got my fingers crossed about Odyssey: not so much from code standpoint as much as from viewpoint of how the in game player dynamics will resolve. CCP may well have misestimated how players will react. More fortunes could be gained and closed than expected and more POS closed. Should be exciting and after all shouldn't CCP get some thrills from the economic-political resolution as well? P.S. CCP has not had to do it in a while but they can reload EVE to a prior day's software and data in about 6 hours if nothing else goes wrong hardware-wise. So its more a question of when things have gone so terribly wrong that fail back is required. RAID/backup sites do nothing until critical error is detected.

STO is responsible for me coming back to Eve. I joined STO and was having a reasonable bit of fun. It reminded me of all the fun I had playing Eve a few years before, except it was free, and I've been a lifelong Trekkie, so I thought it was a better choice for me. I had just made Captain and got myself a Defiant-class ship, which I had been looking forward to since I joined. But the day I got the ship there was a bug in which you couldn't assign bridge officers to your ship, so I couldn't take my shiny new Defiant out for some pew-pew. In my boredom, I reinstalled Eve and began a trial, just to make sure it would run on my current laptop and that I still liked it. Within a few hours I had reactivated my account. STO probably fixed that bug the next day, but I've never logged in to find out.

HindSight Pergatory Ministry of War Amarr Empire 2	Posted - 2013.05.31 13:20:00 - [111] - Quote Holy smokes.. *the server was down for what, an extra 45 minutes? an hour?* I understand that for some this is around peak time, luckily in my case. normal maintenance happens when my head is keeping my pillow from jumping off the bed and attempting suicide, but come on now.. lets not bash CCP so easily and hastily.. there are far more worse MMO's wit regrads to downtime and not to mention I personally cant remember in the almost 4 months I have been playing that the server was offline outside of maintenance. Maybe I am just lucky but lets be fair here.. these servers seem pretty reliable to me.. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
