How darez you do this to me! I am a very valuable player to the community, and I demand that you make around 100 servers just like World of Warcraft! The entire community agree's with me. I represent 99% of them (the 1% are Mac users, and Mac users like to disagree with Windows users just to make us mad).

Can we get an estimate of when it'll be back up? Because I don't like playing real-life...

So, any idea what the issue has been this week? May we have a little more detail than "hiccups"? Four days in a row is tedious. I saw the post that you guys are short-staffed, but certainly the schedule reserves enough people on hand to take care of problems like this?
BTW, what ever became of the rumored T2 hamsters? You know, the ones with bigger muscles, the ability to reproduce while still on the wheel, never need sleep, etc? I have a PITA puppy that I can donate as the hamster taskmaster. She definitely knows how to chew the hell out of everything. |

I agree. Been playing over 2.5 years and although this isn't the worst I've seen in terms of crash duration it does concern me that there is an overall feeling of instability and frequent crashes.
The sooner the devs get back from holiday and work on it the better. They can't let this ride and just release Kali on top of the database in this state.

No. Or at least not on average. OTOH it is concerning me that it's been so unstable. I think it needs some dev attention. It will get that attention and all will be fine again but it might take a week or more.

Before CCP is going to add new content, they would do better in concentrating their dev power on removing all the bugs in TQ's current state. Some Bugs from BETA are still there.
The memory lead is still there. The server crashes get into a range where a paying customer can start to say "this is unacceptable". I have alot of patience but latest development in this reliability is more a horror show when I think about adding MORE content.
really an easy function:
current content with bugs + new content with bugs = more bugs and even more server instability
it's a devil's circle CCP is going to run into.
btw.: the server upgrade CCP did made things worse than better obviously

Get your act together. You want (and act very proud about) a single universe. That's nice and stuff but that's also the reason why you CAN'T afford to have the kind of problems we've been seeing lately. IMO you should get your priorities straigth as the top one does not appear to be a smoothly working server.

This time there wasn't even a warning!
I'm sure the majority of the playerbase appreciates everything you're doing, I truly do, but it's starting to get old.... you can only blame the hampsters so much before it starts to look bad, guys.

Server D/T comencing from 11:00 eve time for its scheduled 23 hours D/T, for the hour up time you will experiance LAG lots of it and unscheduled reboots dueto the hamsters going on strike...... come on CCP the new servers were supposed to sort most of this out as well as the transition over to 64bit processes but its gone back to how it was before the upgrade.....

Maybe CCP should implement some kinda mini EVE game, a 2-D side scroller that we can play when the server goes down.
But seriously, it's like twice a day now these server crashes. Time to switch from hamsters to guinea pigs.

Just lately we've few weeks we seem to get a day or two of instability, then its okay for a month or two, then we get another day or two.
Its a fairly recent thing and I know CCP have made it a lot better than it was before.
There's also a lot of improvements coming up in Kali which should make the server a lot more stable.
So overall my answer to your question is - the game is well worth subscribing to and although someone will give a cheeky reply to my post here, the unplanned downtime really isn't as frequent as it seems!

Another unacceptable, unplanned server downtime. I've been playing for five weeks and the reliability of this server has been unacceptable. There's been lag off and on the whole time I've played, and the last ten days have been hell on wheels. Particularly the last four days, where we've sometimes had twice daily crashes, server wide.
It'd be a shame for my MMO dollars to go elsewhere, but there's about four days left of me being patient and then you get a big, fat, CANCEL from me.
Cmon CCP, get your act together. You're losing paying customers over something as basic as server stability. I can't even believe you're still developing Kali while the servers are in this state.

Yeah to Hank Shank or whoever who is on the trial account....understand that it is traditional to cry and wail on the forums if the servers falter on the weekend.
In truth, the server for EVE is hardly ever down except the scheduled downtime every day (which is longer on weekdays and usually short on the weekends.
Having a day or two of server instability is very rare but everyone gets into the spirit of things by making it sound like it happens 10 times a week. Don't take this seriously ;)

The server can only handle so many login requests at the same time. The message you saw indicates that it's already handling as many logins as it can. Wait a few minutes and try again. It's very common to see this when the server's coming back up, it'll clear once the majority of people have got back in. The 1769 that are in are just the lucky ones that tried to login while there was a free login slot.

I hope they find solutions to replace bookmarks soon as they really aren't doing the poor server hamsters any favours.

I love EVE, and typically, comepared to some other MMOs I wont even begin to name, it has good stability, and typically helpful customer support and GMs. But with working our 4th day of continued outages, I'd like to know what the issue is, or truely though to be by someone employed by CCP. The hampster crap was amusing the first time, but it is not any more, nor is referring to it as a hiccup. It's getting rather annoying for me as a paying customer to have the problem continously and jokingly referred to as a hiccup or hampster problem. Either supply real information or admit you don't know outright. That's the service part of customer service, providing proper answers to proper issues not jokes cause they get less funny each time they are mentioned.

If you can base the status of Eve-Online from 5 weeks of playtime, by all means cancell and go somewhere else. If you want to know, TQ goes thru cycles like this, and CCP will get it fixed as soon as they can, but im sure all knowing, 5 week old player, knows this....

The general symptoms of slow database access are wallet not working, cans can't be looted, can't jump systems, and then tranquility falls over, like it did today.
What usually causes this exact kind of slow database access and fall over in my experience is some kind of deadlock which maxes the database CPU to 100% or a full table (such as the item ID table).
I know these two problems are something the server devs are looking at very closely.
Since no official information has been released yet, I can't be sure either of these assumptions is the situation today, however it seems possible.
Until announced that Tranquility is stable I recommend you do not login or attempt to undock.

SOE were (and probably still are) worse.
At customer service maybe. But thier network and software stability capability is second to none. In 7 years of EQ, i've only experienced about a half-dozen or so incidents where I was unable to connect and play, or play in a stable environment.
If you're comparing customer service quality, CCP has it hands down over SOE

To the new people - this is really rather rare. But unfortunately whingers on the forums aren't. Sorry.
I'm an admin for a pretty large DB which has the same connectivity requirements as the eve DB, ie 23/7 (well 23/6 in my case) and I can vouch for the complexity of such systems. The one I work on is bad enough, so god knows what a bespoke system such as this is like. It isn't as simple as throwing cash and hardware at it. In some instances that can be counter productive. Sounds odd, but it can be true.
I'm sure everyone at CCP who can help is working flat out at this. At the weekend. When their families are prolly ****ed off that they are spending another weekend at work. Lets hope that they can get it stable again soon.
Good luck guys.

To all of you who complain about stability and threaten to quit over it...
I would like to see you do better than CCP.
Call me a "fanboi" or whatever you will, I said the same on the Blizzard forums during WoW crashes. Maintaining a MMO, especially one supporting near 30,000 players on a single server, isn't the easiest thing in the world.

This was such a good post I thought I'd repeat it. Read it again, CCP.
Most of the time CCP does give a post-mortem of what has happened. Just look at Valar's posts with regards to the recent lack of ItemID's. It's just very tricky for them to post what they think is going on, before they find out what is actually going on; people on Eve forums take things literally and a unresearched comment by a dev will end up having pages of backlash if they are incorrect.
Not a fanboi, just someone who does fix computers, and knows that sometimes the first problem that arises isn't necessarily the problem itself.

Most of the time CCP does give a post-mortem of what has happened. Just look at Valar's posts with regards to the recent lack of ItemID's. It's just very tricky for them to post what they think is going on, before they find out what is actually going on; people on Eve forums take things literally and a unresearched comment by a dev will end up having pages of backlash if they are incorrect.
Not a fanboi, just someone who does fix computers, and knows that sometimes the first problem that arises isn't necessarily the problem itself.
I wasn't backlashing, that was a very decent and polite request for more information. As a tech, I know the situation, and indeed feel for CCP, but as a paying customer, I also am entitled to answers. Which after my post, answers were given, and I am satisfied now that I have been provided with an idea of what they believe is going on. If you are a tech or in customer support role, you know that a little information can go a long way to customer satisfaction, but a lack therof can go further into dissatisfaction. Having been given information, I have an idea now of the severity of the problem and don't have to feel uninformed about hampsters and other stuff that has no bearing on the problem and is purely joking. :)

it would save a lot of petitions and angry faces if drones would automatically return to drone bay if we crash

What, saying Chinese server needing more bandwidth a sensitive subject?
No its just a silly subject given Serenity is physically all the way over in China using its own connectivity and aside from using similar software is completely separate and distinct from Tranquility ...
BUT are they having the same kind of prolems?? Lag and data base overloads?? Ramdom crashes? Or are you not allowed to say?
You'd have to ask them! We have no direct relationship with the forum mods or devs over in china. I have no idea what goes on there.
They are using slightly updated server code, code which I believe the devblogs are saying we're going to get in Kali. So ... I guess we'll see if it helps

On topic though, I knew that after the first unscheduled downtime, TQ was going to spend some time out of action, so I set a long skill (Navigation 5) whilst waiting everyone else, do the same for now

ALL of my ships (save the little courier I was running a mission in) are currently in the Irnin system, which I now CAN NOT get into. So I can get in game just fine, but only have access to one of my ships, nor can I get to the station where everything else is stored....

I have a week-long skill that is coming up for a refresh soon ... so was hoping to pop in at least for a few minutes later today.
All the more ammunition in asking for that skill queue! Then they could have taken another week until I needed access again :)

Fair point really. Sometimes it is good for a tech to say to another tech "it could be that the neutron accelerator is out of phase with the multi-dimensional flux capacitor" and for it to spark something mentally for someone (or indeed for the guy at the photocopier) to chip in with a useful suggestion. It's when the uneducated get ahold of that and go "yeah, but two days ago, the guy I spoke to said it was something to do with the 'uni-nodal electron decelerator' or something, I even wrote it down... see!" (wehich as any tech knows, the multi-dimensional flux capacitor and the uni-nodal electron decelerator are two wildly different things)....
Where was I?
Yeah... dev posts are good when they have a fair idea what's gone wrong. Wild speculation isn't good for anyone. No backlash intended honest! (in-laws are about and having Eve withdrawl symptoms!)

I know im like 15 and everyone will probably laugh at this ... but surely if they thought about this logically then they would realise that if they made our time that we payed for stop whilst the crashes were in progress then none of this argue'n would happen, and people fixing it won't get abuse from clearly anoyed members .. which I totally understand ! so its just my thoughts on the situation, anyway GL with the problem and hope we can get back online very shortly

I think he means that the ccp employees creditcards and means to spend money should be locked the moment the server is down, so they are only able to order beer as long as the server is running, not enirely sure though.

did some1 mention the 2004 TQ disaster?
you mean the weekend next to the first hardware upgrade when all of the sudden the servers decided to make failsafe backups?
...or the 2 hellish weeks after CCP released Exodus?

What do you expect when basing a database server on inferior Intel technology instead of superior AMD technology.
Hell, every time a server featuring Intel SunSurface(tm) chips, the worlds temperature rises by 2.5 degrees. To power them you need a couple of nuclear powerstations and to cool them requiresd another one.
Go get some real servers CCP.

I'm on a trial account and close to upgrading to a permanent paid account. But these interruptions are causing me concern. Is this normal for TQ?
It's been happening a bit more than usual lately, but it's not normal. Usually it happens much less often.

Hey Ho, another crash, another mission time bonus lost
just glad I had my ship docked (just) when it happened.
I pay the best part of ú30 a month to CCP cos I've got 3 accounts, and am getting tired of the 'hiccups' that the daily downtime, and the extended downtimes are meant to prevent.
I thought at first that the daily DT was preventative, but now I'm thinking more (as it's just about lunchtime where the servers are based) that the engineers all go down the pub for an hour.
Only kidding, but please can we have some proper explanations on why we are getting more crashes now then we've had before. New servers have been installed which were meant to be so good, but it's been more unreliable since them imo
k, rant over.
