Looks as thought the patch isn't going as expected.
Two and a half hours and nothing.
Can the Dev or GM's please let us know whats going on and the probable uptime will be.

yea i don't mine the extra downtime long as someone informs us. on whats taking so long. or when they plan for it to be up. first its 1300GMT then 1330GMT. now i guess 1400GMT and we will work from there. |

they own me 90mins skill training time now :/ why can't they announce a day before they're patching that there'll be an extended downtime?
sorry but a little bit of planning server downtimes wouldn't hurt. If i'd do what they do in a IT department of any other corp, i'd get sacked for sure.
CCP, rule nr.1 for any buissness: Keep the customer informed of what's going on.
migth hire some PR guy, wouldn't hurt :) |

Edited by: Havoc1710 on 14/08/2003 13:55:32 Edited by: Havoc1710 on 14/08/2003 13:53:03 i get the feeling they're adding some last minute fixes... A few minutes ago we were going to patch 1163, now its gonna be 1164. so they obviously found another problem, and are trying to get it fixed.
and now 1164 seems to be bugged as well, so expect 1165 :)
just sit back, and watch amovie, or read a book... :) ill update this as i see whats going on :) Ceo Aquitaine Space Conglomerate |

yes but you see the first news update was for 1300GM for patch 1163. then it went to 1330GMT for 1164. and now its 1400GMT and there is no update. on the patching process. thats what we want to know. |

Thanks for the updates guys.
However I dont want this thread to turn into a 'Let's Flame CCp' Thread. The Dev's are obviously trying to fix something serious for this to happen.
All I ask and a few others it appears, is to have a thread started by a GM/Dev that keeps us posted on the current situation on the patch.

Edited by: Arthur Guinness on 14/08/2003 14:03:47 actually i wanna flame ccp, as i was expecting the server to be up again at 12:00, my plan was to fly to the next station with skillz on the market and buy astrology .... i calculated skill training time of the skill i was training so it finishes approx 12:00.
so now some gm can gimme lvl1 of astrology and take the money out of my wallet please, thx :)
maybe the ccp sysadmin should get the SoftwarePatching skill to lvl5 and the dev should get Developing MMORPG skill to lvl5 ;) not to forget the PR guy, which should try and get Customer Information at least to lvl2. -- The worst thing you can do when suggesting a solution to a problem is to provide alternatives, people end up arguing the alternatives instead of implementing the fix. |

I wasn't aiming the 'Don't Flame' speech at anyone that replied.
I'd relised after I posted that it 'Could' Turn into one of those useless Flame threads.
Soz for any mis-understanding.

Edited by: Havoc1710 on 14/08/2003 14:05:54 hmm. 1164 isnt loking so good either, nearly everybody ctd's upon entering space, so it might be a bit longer.....
or pred ator could beat me by 2 minutes, that works as well.......
just got word from tomB that they are working on the ctd problem, so it looks like tq wont be baclk up for a while yet. Ceo Aquitaine Space Conglomerate |

one would hope they would just start the server with 1128 soon. and patch tommorrow. since its taking hours allready with no luck. |

maybe they cant rollback patches either, and tq is already patched to 1163 :) Ceo Aquitaine Space Conglomerate |

Roll BAck to 1128 is quite possible considering how long it has been down now.
Although it does rather depend on what Back-out procedures CCP have, and what transformations they've done on the Database.
Hopefully a Dev or GM will reply to this thread to let us know

Not a flame, but....
When the first patch failed, you should always roll back to the previous last known good version...

I am happy that all in your life has always gone strictly to your plan. Never late to a meeting, never had car trouble, never went to the drink machine with the wrong change in your pocket. However, software work is not quite that "perfect."
I will send in my request for you to be appointed head CCP developer.

yea. but maybe this will make them make a backup system incase something like this happens again. *me thinks CCP is either working hard (first choice) or taking coffee break :) (doubtful)..*

sure they can rollback patches
general method for that is: 1. make backup 2. apply patch 3. patch not working 4. restore 5. repeat ...new sig coming up Ravenal - Fate is what you make of it. |

sorry but i am kinda lmao atm. i really wonder what they do.
btw does anyone know their snail mail address, i'd like to send them this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/posters/despair/3673/zoom/
Devs/sysadmins honestly, please post an approx time when the server will be up.
P.S: looks like i'll start playing on chaos instead of TQ, chaos is much more reliable :) -- The worst thing you can do when suggesting a solution to a problem is to provide alternatives, people end up arguing the alternatives instead of implementing the fix. |
