We might as well put 7 of them up in advance... Time stamped for every day of the week...
I don't even have any beef with CCP over this, but just make the downtime longer so people know what to expect...

Scheduled downtime every day between 11:00 and 12:00 GMT. Version 2.13.4561

Downtime is understandable but why is there never any reason, appology or an estimated time of when it will be fixed. It is poor customer service.

Read the player news: To address the recent Tranquility issues, we'll be deploying more than usually of server side hotfixes. As a result, some scheduled downtimes might go past 12:00 GMT and there might be unscheduled reboots to revert the hotfixes if they aren't performing adequately.

How about chillin you guys. They told us of the hotfixes, it was in the news section if I remember correctly.
The reason they don't tell us how long we can espect it is probably because they have no clue how long each hotfix is going to take.
So why don't we all relax and have a beer and chill over some good music until we wait for em to finish?

the extended daily downtimes are hurting me pretty bad, they cut right into my prime playing hours. I only get leftovers or nothing at all :-(
If they keep server down 3 hours, to me it's same as tho it's down 24 hours

Why don't CCP start a "Service status" thread? Not for us rabble to post to, but just for a Dev (or a minion) to update with glitches, coffee spillages etc...?
19.09.2006 11:00:00 Service offline for daily downtime 19.09.2006 11:35:00 Database problem found. Startup will be delayed until 14:00 19.09.2006 14:00:00 Service online
We know there will be problems from time to time. All that we ask is that we are told when our favourite game in all the world is likely to be available again.

Yeah a lot of people are suffering from this, but is probably absolutely necessary so we'll just have to chill and accept that this game, and any other game isin't perfect and never will be.
At least they're applying fixes to problems, which is something we can't say for all MMORPG's ....

That wasn't the case yestaday, or today, or for the next 2 weeks apparently.
probably ensuring the hardware can cope with the new kali stuff they've got planned in the next month or two.
tbh, just a little section on the website with a server status, and perhaps a little one line comment saying something like "maintenance taking longer than expected" would placate the masses, wheras silence and no way to know for certain if the server is working just infuriates people. it's a sad state of affairs, but with a small company like CCP, i can see why they are swamped - i've worked in customer relations for an MMO, and i know how much flak they take as soon as there's a problem, but this lack of communication only serves to alienate the customers further - we're not asking for a personal and handwritten response to every little thing, but one line of text, maybe 5 minuites out of someone's time is all it would take to stop these threads from appearing. ========================================== Iy |

Edited by: event mocean on 20/09/2006 12:47:16 Think of from the dev's point of view. i'm sure for each minute after 12:00 more and more pressure mounts to complete the set tasks as they know THOUSANDS of paying customers are waiting to log on.
I'm sure they're more stressed about DT running late than you are.
In a reply above someone is eatin _chesse & jam_ toasted sandwiches. Damn, that's odd. You pregnant?

Unless there is an official staus thread or some kind of status page that informs people what is going on then the forum is gonna get filled with threads like this, don't blame the people posting, we just want to play a game we have payed for.
But other than lag and extended downtime Eve is the best MMORPG Ever. :D

I go to work as well and have deadlines also it is called the real world. In my job it would be the same but rather than a bit of whinging on the forum we would get 10000s of phonecalls and Emails. They have it easy.
They could atleast change the message that says "odds are it is your Internet Connection". I mean WTF my Internet isn't down half as much as this server.

This DT reminds me of EQ1, which I still play. It's like a new expansion release and you can expect many many many wonderful nights waiting for the server to come back up, which it will, eventually, but WAY to late to be of any use to alot of us who have DT in our prime play time. Fun fun fun. Yes I'm *****ing, I can cause I can :) No I don't care if you don't care, cause I can :)
Thanks to those who post to complain about people posting to complain, you guys are great to skim past, and laugh at and so forth :)
OMG OMG 7mins 40sec to first startup atempt, One of many no doubt, I have to go prepare :)

To be fair, they usually do that, the server used to come up at 11:30-11:45. Only the recent problems with TQ seem to have changed that.
But, they could put up some Flash mini-games on eve-o for the addicts ;-P (space invaders anyone?).
