So, I installed this game on thursday - payed for it (missed the part where you could get a trial key - my fault probably, although I still don't know where it is). Then got a message at the character creation screen about server shutdown. Appeared to be patch day - oh well...
Tried again yesterday, but post patch-problems prevented me from logging in. Tried it around 20:00h.
Now today I finally managed to create a character, started the tutorial, but it takes forever! Every time I have to click something it takes 5-10 minutes before the next screen comes up.
I really want to try this game, but up until now, it pretty much sucks. What's going on?

patch days servers are ussually wobbly afterwards, servers are probably back up to normal in a day or two i guess.

RMR Patch was the same, as laggy and bloody like hell. Its not the worst, its only continuing in the line since a few months.

Sorry you couldnt of joined at a worse time. The game right now is at a new low, extremely poor patch implications. I only hope they resolve for the weekend. As for me i gave up and wont get on till after the weekend, its just that bad. But give it a few days and it might be back up to good. Remember the game is REALLY smooth, especially after the server upgrade, so its not like this, they screwed something up in the code or whatever with this awful patch.

It still amazes me how after so many problems CCP still refuses to let the patching go out at say... Mondays? It would at least give some time for fixing the problem instead of ruining prime time at weekends.

I'm new too. I installed during the patch and got in that night after everything was ironed out (Well night on this side of the pond.... Early morning game-time). It was really nice. Instanteous response, everything ran smoothly. From what I hear, that's the norm. I'd say let things simmer down til the weekend. I myself am still trial, and I'm reserving my judgements until next weekend for sure.
Regardless, it beats battle.net and their patch days. |

The patch was originally set for Tuesday. But since it wasn't ready it was pushed to Thursday. Would you honestly not have been ****ed if on Wednesday they said "Ok, the patch is finished, we'll push it out NEXT Tuesday." instead of "Ok, the patch is finished, we'll push it out tomorrow."?
Instead of complaining that it was laggy due to the patch, people would complain it was laggy because the patch which is ready wasn't put in. CCP can't win.  But they are doing their best.
This is exactly why you put on long skill training.

It's certainly a shame, brother Branco, that the station and gate staff seem to be currently on strike for *more* pay, whilst us capsuleers still pay the flat rate .. for no service at all *flicks hair out of eyes with a toss of the head, and turns back to the photographers' station* ...ahhh the local media!!!!!

Welcome to Eve, that last game you will ever need to play.
Ok very bad timing and this is one of the worst patches we've seen in a long time but im sure CCP are working hard to resolve issues.
Stick with it mate and im sure you soon learn to love this amazing universe and all of its occupants (well most lol)

Very bad timing mate, eve is often like this after a major patch. They will sort it out in a few days.
This patch is rough but trust me I have seen worse

With something of a haze, yes. I seem to recall the servers came back up at 3am gmt, having been predicted to be up at 8? and it tooks weeks to fix most of the problems.

Stick with it matey, it's not as bad as everyone makes out (although Cold War was a joke). It'll be right as rain after downtime tomorrow (probably).

Here the response on my ticked .
Maiby helpful for u in the future ..
Due to circumstances we are forced to reboot the server in approximately
30 minutes. If we would not do so, it would prevent the majority of our
player base from being able to play the game. We sincerely apologize for
the inconvenience this is causing you and hope this will be our last
uncheduled reboot for the time being. We recommend to all our players, they
do the following before relogging into the game: If your problem was not
solved with the reboot, try clearing your cache before trying to continue,
even if you have done so already. ( open your ..\CCP\Eve\ folder and rename
the cache folder to cache2, re log and see if all is as it should. If you have
sorted bookmarks you can copy the setting folder from cache2 to your new
cache folder, this may however cause your problem to resurface.) If this
does not work reply to the petition and well try the best we can to solve
your problem.
Would you like to open the petition ?

Hi, welcome to eve
Patch day problems are temporary. They can be caused by people downloading the patch, everyone starting new characters (filling up the newbie systems), a lot of people rushing to one place to buy new items or try out new content or just bugs and technical problems. The problems get ironed out with time and the game will return to normality, or as normal as it gets here in Eve, anyway.
Joining the game around patch day is simply a case of bad timing and the server problems experienced in these times should not be taken as typical. In my experience, the 1-2 weeks after a major patch are always rocky. Just hold in there. Eve is awesome, it'd be a shame to not give it a good chance because of temporary issues.

Essentially you joined the game just before a content expansion patch. As with Castor, Exodus and others, this means that a week of gameplay will be reduced to setting a long skill and playing FPS, unless you want to be filing a stuck and ship loss petition every day.

Yeah, I will definately give it a try later on. Just got a bit annoyed, since my play time is somewhat limited (work, family, you know the drill...)

You happened to join on patch day, a fairly bad one at that. Ironically they just replace the entire server cluster with brand new equipment and that went off without a hitch, now a relatively minor expansion has turned into a major headache.
Stick with it, it'll be back to its stable self soon enough.

The hamsters got replaced by super hamsters which are stong but a bit thick.
The new code confused said super hamsters a bit so CCP have hired in some gerbils on a temp basis while the super hamsters are trained.
That means the game may be a bit laggy during the "paw" over phase.

Anyone remember Castor?
Castor was a trillion times worse than anything you (obviously) have seen.

Yeah but Exodus and Cold War both added a lot of new content, which always means more bugs.

Do what I do, read the identical posts of whines/rants and study fitting/order of skill training until the lag monster goes away. I kind of understand how you feel, I also started playing near patch day (not on, luckily or I might be playing some simple game like WoW  ), I'm glad I stuck it through, it's freakin worth it! 
Playing eve is like eating a twinky bar. *drools*
