I was told that the test was only running on 28% of its nodes for the test, and using a Sisi Dbase whilst the main dbase continued to run on the real TQ.
For 2,000 ppl in just Rens, Oursulaert, and Jita and 3-4,000 logging into the game at once and having to be transferred... you'd have to be a moron not to recognize the vast improvement potential after the "mass login" finished.
Also with new Hardware etc... it'll probably be a few weeks before all the optimizations are correctly configured and running.

It was a night of carnage, "free" ships and you could pod yourself back to the starting point when you died if you set your clone right. In that situation people who work together are always going to have more success than loners.
Yes, loners like you who just warp between complexes in Aridia for days on end, playing in single player mode.
Hell, it was a complete free for all fun, no consequences, no cost frag fest and you even moan about that.
Go figure
P.S. I didnt pod people

I thought it was great, trying out pvp setups on people when I had no idea what to use  In the end I just watched it play out from the relative safety of a cov-ops... until someone used their doomsday weapon on us

Grats ccp for the fun night of carnage!
I can't understand why peeps are complaining tbh, even if you got podded, big deal, the game was like a day behinde from my main so no biggie. Is it some how personal podding peeps? (in 0.0) 
I didn't pod anyone though due to the message.
Having said that the fight's were awesom, more un-official killmails in one night than i would get in 2 mounths
Looking forward to the servers now

Yes it sucks 
Jet again several players prooved their stupidity shooting till destruction, even MODs asked not to do that.
That what suppose to be fun and helpfull turned into frustration for many of us as several of us was being ganked by imature players.
I came on 87.237.38.200 to help you to test server and not to be podkilled by mentioned retards.
So, dear Oveur and rest of DEVs you should predict that many ppl wil not obey your asking not to shoot till destruction so you should provide us for example security mechanism which would make last 25% of our hull untouchable.
they said in the annoucement that all of empire was 0.0 they wanted to test combat you halfwit ! thats the test they wanted they need camps gank , spanks, and good ole fleet action .
how did you plan on helping the devs by minning ?
my corp killed every ship in sight for close to three hours we picked up maybe 4 guy we ran into along the way and headed for jita it was crazy fun !

lol man that was so much fun it has made me want to pvp all the time now.
three of us hooked up in hageken, and killed our way to Jita.
once there we held the sobasaki gate for bout 30 mins, killing many many ships(didnt pod though).
held the gate going well, attacked a GM in a jove ship for a bit(man they are tough), lol, the he musta ratted us out to his big brother in a titan, who promptly showed up and 2-shot me, and killed the other 2 guys i was with.
was amazing to see that there was over 280 ppl in jita and there was only a touch of lag for us three.
all in all, was the best hour and a half of fun playing eve i have had in a while.
now i have had the taste for pvp im gonna make the move and try to get into a pvp corp for sure.
as for those complaining about the lag there, UPGRADE your frikin computers, or at least get 2 gig ram.
congrats CCP was a total blast
Props, m8, that's showing the right spirit. Was indeed a total blast tonight. 
Oh and if you're looking for a pvp corp ::shameless recruitement plug:: get in touch with us.

New server runs great..
Players are still the same old morons they ever were. Gatecamps everywhere, even camping the stations that had seeded markets... podding even when asked not to.
Yup great stuff...
There were somany drones and cans cluttering up the undock alley of the station that it wasn't possible to warp away before being ganked by a fleet of lamers. The best part is that all this happened on a test server where noone really loses anything. I have to wonder how retarded a person must be to sit there for houres and houres ontop of a station killing everything that undocks... |

It was a gank-fest, nothing more nothing less. Lagged out at planet 1, and podded then podkilled before the screen loaded. But its about what I expected from some of EVE's "players", who use whatever means to justify there actions.
well hope the Devs got what they were after.

I would say the 100+ ship fleet battle at the jita gate in Ikuchi was exactly they kind of thing the devs were after.

I lost my Harpy within 40 sec at the first gate I came across.
Flew back in my egg to pick up my Crow... not only did I manage to get to Jita with no worries but I didn't lose a single crow the entire time I was there. Couldn't do much in the way of dmg so just flew around popping drones where I could I had heaps of fun and managed to help CCP test the new stuff to boot.

Well it was a good fun 4 hours when i got on I got a messege saying all areas are now .0 so basically fun and no poddin they didnt say anything about stop in structure. And yes i do admit my alliance camped some stations for awhile then we went to perimeter and got wiped off the map by ascn when fighting them in a huge fleet battle.
So i then started 1 vs 1in people all day didnt pod tho but was fun hope they do it again and thru the course of the day i did accidently lock acouple of pods but didnt pod them thank god! But to the people that are complaining lighten up it was fun and it doesnt affect the main server so get over it :).

Right after the message not to Pod anyone..
I got 'Podded'...
But... I knew that was going to happen anyway, so I wasn't upset.

i cannot believe you worry about this stuff...but what ever floats your boat...
heres the original message for clarification...
Rules of Engagement: We shoot to kill. There is no
CONCORD, EVERYTHING is 0.0! (Be nice, dont pod). The lag
you are experiencing is due to this cluster using the
test database, the big one is of course running TQ :)
notice it says "be nice" - you should know players are not going to be nice...

wrote this in another thread, copy paste ftw im to tired..
everyone thinking the servers sucks, remember there wasnt ONLY 5k players or how many that were online, there was 5k systems with big NPC spawns too, along with the 5k players killing and blowing stuff up every 5 seconds its quite impressive performance the current Tranquility would have died in 2 minutes.
market was as fast as on TQ for me in rens(maybe even faster sometimes and it doesnt have a ramsan), and undocking was realy fast! even though there were dreads and loads of ppl fighting right outside the station. the place was messed up 
and as said all players were pretty mutch gathered at the main trade places. so realy impressive

Well it was somewhat fun even though i expected people to gang together to kill of the invaders not each other :)
Managed to get my cruiser blown up by rats, the guy had 3.75mil bounty
so i bet it was a battleship or something large :)
Took me like 2 system jumps before the new 100isk cruiser i bought showed up in the station thanks to mega lag.
Got my destroyer from hulm did go to rens planet 1 and got some shots in on cookie :) now that ship was scary, all those players shooting at her and shields barely dropped, got blown up by something huge, was not the only one i belive, it got all quiet after that big bang :)
After that the fun ended, did go to the station in rens with the 100isk ships, outiftting a new one took like forever, the lag using the market was nasty, after setting up a new cyclone(guns and missiles and some shield boosters) i undocked, well tried to anyway, had a black screen for a few minutes then i logged out, when i got back in i was in a pod, second try i get back to planet 1 but before even spotting the famous chockolade cookie i got blown away again, my cruiser Vs a battleship was not nice.
Lag here made it even worse since it took my ship up to 40 seconds at times to react, well did go to another system to refit a new bs, just leaving station got me attacked but managed to warp away, only to blown away at the jump point, i didn't expect it so half my guns where not even online, or loaded for that matter where just trying to get back to rens.
Last try i got killed again at planet 1 in rens, then podded, at that point i gave up, the lag and not being able to get back fighting ruined the fun for me at least, sure i had lot of isk and ships where at 100isk, but what good does that do when you can't even leave the station before being podded, that is after the 10-15 minutes it took to refit with the lag.
Still was fun for the first part and cookie shure was a tough one to take down, not sure anyone managed in the end or not.

I read that we should stop shooting before destruction only once in the beginning. But then multiple times a message popped up that said that this is 0.0 and that we are supposed to kill stuff or something like that.
And the only thing that was said again and again was not to pod kill.
So I thought, the guy who said not to destroy ships was just wrong in the beginning, because he didn't know it better.
edit: and this was not a test server in a way to test features, but a stress test, meaning we should stress the server as much as we could.

Look like a whole bunch of people are going to be banned from the test server... wich is good.
Doing a stress test is about alot more than simply podding as many players as possible in the shortest possible time.
Hopefully this little test will ensute the morons are not able to log in for the next stress test if there is going to be one.

luckly the devs have mutch better things to do then hunt those "morons" how you call them, and ban them from the test server.
it was a stress test, podding was not allowed but who cares, you cannot prevent it. it happened in the past and it will happen again.
learn to deal with it and keep your clone updated.

Yes I was upset. With reason as they asked us to join all together in one of 3 main gathering points against invader forces. Many of us did not succeed to even reach there Bcose of gate campers.
After I got blown I tried to dock but was stucked in jump, than tried to relog several times without success due to badass lag. Than I got ****ed off and started this thread. Finally I managed to log back in but it was laggy as hell. I fitted Hawk AF than had my part of fun. I saw big ships for first time, hunted some frigs and BSes around, than was finaly nailed by uber duper Jovian frigate.
OMG those ships was nasty - fast as inties, pucnhing as BSes (with stealth bomber bonuses), 3 x better defences than any HAC, with insane RoF. They was faster then their missiles, makes them look like commets. Imagine ship going towards you with +20 missiles in their tails. After they passes you their SPAM hits you: BAMBOMBAMBOMBAMBOMBAMBOMBAMBOMBADABAAAM and you are in POD. If I remembered correctly, those frigs has 7 high and 8 med and low slots :)
After all it was good experience and fun (even) for me. :)

Why go to the effort of loging on to the test server and gate camp. You gain nothing.
lol i disagree my small fleet had so much fun the most fun ever in fact 12 ravens camping gate we had a med bubble with us but just no time to put it up as the trafic was just too much we killed 1 and all the best was when our allies from tranquility turned up and we killed them to everyone to my knollage was lol in local. we did not pod kill anyone and shuttles going to get new ships were allowed to pass.
after a while we moved forward 1 jump out side the main system and omg a bob blob we were owned in seconds did we cry. well i did cos i had to go and make tea for that woman i choose to waist most of my life with :( biatch!!!
ps for all the frendlys we ganked do we still have a nap...

The message that was send around was not to podkill people. Accidents do happen at times and all in good fun. Amamake had roughly 30 in to 40 in local. After taking out 2 Jovian ships the -LV- gang turned on the locals and it was a free for all there. Have to say that this was a Stress test, to see how it was going in fleet engagements.
The moment these servers go live I think it will be an improvement. So don't give the whiney attitude of he shot me and killed my ship. They were 100isk... I mean... you have 1bil isk, who the **** cares about losing a BS then?

I think ppl are confusing 87.237.38.200 with SiSi
SiSi you arent allowed to kill unless agreed
87.237.38.200 you can kill but not pod
