CCP falcon: do not let this discourage you from remapping nodes. If we're really lucky this will encourage you to develop a "live reinforce" mode. That fight was raging for hours ... it would surely have benefited from a remap even sooner, we shouldn't have to bring 2200 into system before you consider it. And the risk that sometimes that will crash the node is one I am perfectly willing to accept.

I could care less about any one particular fight. We all win if you are more proactive about improving the response of the systems we are fighting in. Keep calm and carry on.

I don't understand why TEST peeps are even posting after they got a nice dose of Deus Ex Machina (look it up if you're not sure what that means. Take your time, its a sophisticated concept). It seems to be a pretty douchebag thing to do, but I suppose we're not expecting a lot when they get their CCP engineer friends to help them out of a jam.

GG!

Are you willing to pay more for your subscription and jack up the price of PLEX to pay for unplanned hardware upgrades?

Wow all these goons begging for non existent kill mails just shows how desperate they are.

Very sad.

However the tears are delicious.

Well,. I can understand why you agree that mistakes like this are acceptable and indeed expected to happen from time to time.

I know, right? My favorite was the guy insisting CCP should remove ships from the game that were not blown up yet because he assumes that they would have definitely been blown up.


I have probably put on 10 lbs today drinking all these sweet, delicious Goonswarm tears.

I will need to hit the gym during the next unplanned downtime.

You mean like the previous times the server has gone down and saved CFC caps? Stop being such man-children about it.

Additionally, you're not even addressing my point. Additional hardware costs money, where is that money supposed to come from?

Would you please address the costs (human, financial, etc.) associated with dedicating more computing (and network?) resources to meet the requirements of larger fleet engagements?

As a customer, my perception of CCP is that you guys almost need your arm twisted and broken before you will take steps to facilitate the most epic moments of EVE game play. Why?

What is holding CCP back from allocating all available resources towards known flashpoints where many major entities could engage?

From all the money they got from subs till now?
Wait, what? They will spend them all on renaming skills?

Okay, what profit margin are they running in order to allocate funds for the acquisition of water-proof servers to prevent future CFC tears? How much will all this new equipment cost? How well will it be utilized, as much of space is empty for long periods of time?

Evening capsuleers,

WeGÇÖd like to ask that you keep discussions and questions relating to tonightGÇÖs fleet fight in Z9PP-H to this thread so as to keep CCP responses centralized, and to make this the go to place for questions and answers.

WeGÇÖd first like to explain the situation, and what exactly has happened so far.

Owing to the heavy load in Z9PP-H, caused by a fleet flight involving 2200+ pilots deeply embroiled in the Fountain War, the decision was made to remap all other systems away from the node on which Z9PP-H was located in order to improve responsiveness and playability. We were later than we wanted to be to try to reinforce the node (obviously) since it was a more organic-type battle without a fleet fight notification. Once we fully assessed the situation and what was at play, we figured it was time to go for it and the remap in preparation of what was set to be "Asakai 2.0".

This was put into play at 22:14 UTC, however due to an error in communication, all systems including Z9PP-H itself were moved from the node, which caused everyone who was in the system and was involved in the ongoing fleet fight to be disconnected from Tranquility.

The system of Z9PP-H was brought back online and made accessible as fast as possible, however we realize that the mass disconnect of everyone involved in the fight means that ships are potentially saved by their pilots not logging back in once they have been disconnected, or are lost due to other unforeseen consequences of the disconnect.

All pilots involved have our sincerest apologies for this error, and we are currently looking to review our policy of action in these types of situation to ensure that this is not repeated.

Many of us here at CCP were watching various player streams of the battle as it unfolded and cannot apologize enough for such a mistake, or for disrupting what was setting out to be an unbelievably epic fleet fight

If you have any questions or comments, please keep them to this thread as a centralized point of contact, and weGÇÖll see about answering them.

In a REAL company the one that ruined that much product for that many costomers would have been fired - even if the PR department is trying to spin this off as an honest mistake. you dont get to just say sorry, you need to SHOW that your sorry.
