Hmmm... 70,000 * 8.99 = ~Ç630,000/30/24 = Ç875/hour
These idiots should be required to pay Ç875 for each hour that we're all offline and that gametime returned to us free of charge.
Why destroy others' enjoyment - there must be better things to hack...

Originally by: Tide Oden Well, geographic concurrency is always the weak spot in any MMO. Despite instancing and redundant systems, most MMOs have to map virtual space to specific zone servers at some point in their setup. EQ, DOAC, WOW, SWG, RO, GW, Eve, and so on all have this technology. Its kinda the defacto backbone of any MMORPG.
Guild Wars is the only MMO I've ever seen that is really resistant to high concentrations of players/player-owned objects. It doesn't solve the problem, but side-steps it via a dynamic instancing and zone-server allocation system. The rest have to handle it in the normal fashion - beefy hardware , selective instancing, and in-game pressures to make players spread out. Obviously such methods can be defeated as they rely on cleverness rather than absolute barriers.
For example - a game designer could simply set caps on the density of renderable objects per virtual zone. This would enforce a maximum level of load on any given zone server. However, that would suck. How well would the game work if players couldn't enter a given zone due to too many objects/people already being in it? Or not be able to create any new virtual objects in a given space due to the cap having been hit?
The reason that companies use multiple servers is because the power of any one server cannot scale with its load as it is a finite amount. Thus clusters and arrays of servers are used so that processing can take place in parallel and can scale with demand. This type of processing is still limited however by the need for servers to communicate with each other. If 2 servers are assigned one zone, then each server has to share its data with one other server to maintain consistancy. If 20 servers are managing a single zone, then each server has to match data with 19 other servers to maintain consistancy. So with 20 servers there's (19*19) 361 times as much cross-server communication taking place as there is with only 2 servers. See the lag yet?
Its never as simple as - why didn't the company make sure this couldn't/wouldn't/didn't happen? There are limits on technology folks.
Maybe its time they gave up the goal of all accts in one big universe and created a 2nd cluster .. whole new universe .. whole new economy .. Im sure most would stay due to time invested, but i been playin for a month and a half .. I'd jump to new cluster .. and less lag.

No matter what the cause of this is. I just hope i can get back in. And oh yes a refund for lost time would be nice. I'm deep in .0 and currently in a tight spot.

Nah - I love the un-sharded nature of Eve - these problems are rare and PLAYER created..

Originally by: Usku Ukusku Wow, you kids need to relax.
Hoping to find some info, instead I see 30 kids screaming cause something broke.
Fck guys, its not like some dude at CCP started smashing the servers with a hammer. Something went wrong. Server corruption, hardear failure, or maybe then janitor tripped a switch.
Yea it sucks, yea its annoying. It certainly is the end of the world. Things'll get fixed. It takes time.
Soon enough we'll all get our fix.
++ for rationality.

All well and good that you think this is true. I have tomorrow and the next day off, after having been working nearly 11-hour days for the last 5 days, and had really looked forward to playing tonight. Now, in addition to not playing just now, I'm honestly wondering if I'll be able to play tomorrow or the next day...

Yay!
I must say, those 3 hours of downtime last night (downtime is at 1am-2am here in the middle of the pacific) and then following it up with mass downage during the day is really cool of them. i'm so psyched about the downtime, i wanna petition to add more hours of downtime every day!!!
/sarcasm
really, though, the extended downtime last night was a pain in the ass. and then they give us this. I would like to believe the 4S whoever-they-are had a hand in the downtime, so i could avoid thinking that its CCP's fault.
...but if you think about it...
a GM in WoW, i know for sure, can alter anything he/she feels needs to be altered in any way, shape, or form. and its not hard to do, either. just a simple command. now, if hundred upon hundreds of shuttles were the problem, we would have maybe at most two GM's in there sweeping up the mess in no time. so i do think its more than just the 4S dudes crashing the server.
either i spent the last hour reading threads incorrectly, or i'm just an incompetent fool.

I dont know what it is but EVE GM's dont seem too dedicated to the community... If they would just tell whats going on, and/or how long its going to take would help allot of people... And making a skill queue system would be nice too cause this is a waste of time... And Time is Money especially in this game...

Well IMO, they did - only the virtual hammer of yet another un-tested network code upgrade which hapenned today. Its no co-incidence that virtually every patch over the last 7 months has introduced yet more instability. If I were them I'd concentrate on fixing bugs before releasing new content ffs. I mean, my security level can be 3 different values depending on where i view it from (character sheet, login screen or right click in a chat window on my character) - in normal sensible coding, there would be one routine to return the sec level for a player, not three - its just plain sloppy coding.

Nah I mean like that you can queue up to 3 skills... Cause people do have lives, like going on vacation for some days or weeks... It would be a waste of time... But if they wouldnt implent it I would surely know the reason. Cause the skill learning is based on time... And time is money, wich CCP knows... Its easy earned money if you ask me...
