u poor soul - 36 hours set 30 minutes before dt should be enough. Was mentioned in several stickies and ingame news tho.
On another front the macroer(ISK farmers) will be down their business so expect a flood of em to be able to loot when it coems back up (petition em to the max to)

I figured with a 12 hour downtime, an 18 hour skill would be more than enough padding.

I set an 8 day skill to train myself. For everyone that is missing out on training time, this is the general rule I follow for sked down times:
The Rule of Five: For whatever length a specified outage (from here on to be known as "down time") is scheduled, multiply that time by five; The resulting answer is the minimum amount of time you should set a skill to train for.
Using this, 1 hour down times: set at least a 5 hour skill; 12 hour down time: set a 60 hour (2.5 day) skill at minimum.
Goes a long way to making sure your skills don't finish while the server is still unavailable.

Can you say Astrogeology V?
Had 11 days to go on that puppy before DT started.
As someone who works in IT I'd be a fool to expect upgrades etc to finish on time.

Mine's on two days and my alt is on 6 days.
An optimist is often dissapointed but a pessimist is often pleasantly surprised.
Plus I've done enough time with SQL server to know it's never plain sailing.

I work during the downtime hours, when I saw 'extended' I figured it wouldn't matter much as I work till 5h after normal downtime, and didn't read the msg.
Not a nice surprise when I saw that it was a LONG downtime, and even less nice when I saw it became even longer!
Lost a lot of hours in skilltraining unfortenatly, stuff happens I guess ...

Still got a couple days to go on one character and one finished a few hours ago. I intentionally left a 8 hour skill in knowing full well it would finish before the servers came back up.
Didn't really care, not so anal that a few lost hours is going to ruin my life or anything and I get to fly my new ship as soon as I get in instead of 8 hours later.

I definitely missed the boat. I mean my brain mustv'e been out to lunch for several days. My skill finished training 2 hours after DT started for this. So by the time I can actually log in again I will have been not training for a whole freaking day.

5 day skill here, set wednesday night...
Of course in my short time in this game, I've lost 12+ hrs of training that I can recount...not due to any downtime/server outages...just plain stupidity on my part.
It all evens out in the end.

I got you all beat.
I was in the middle of hauling some stuff for my mining alt, clicked on the skills tab to start a 6-day train, when my DSL died. This happened about 2 hours before the scheduled downtime.
Not only did I not set a skill to train, but both my clients are now hanging out somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
Luckily, the second account was still training Astrogeology to 5, so no worries there. It was the main account that I lost about 26 hours on.... *sigh*
Of course, from now on, I'll be setting a week-long train two or 3 days before downtime, just so that this doesn't happen again.
