Post all issues you have regarding the server hardware upgrade here. Forums are up, but TQ will be down for a little while longer. Estimated time of TQ being live is 10:00 GMT. That is of course assuming we can out blob Mr. Murphy.

i only sorta went down 2 hours before the official DT. I was able to log in with about 1.5hrs before DT(which came at 11:00 GMT). I believe the front page said something about network instability with their provider. At least they are adding backbones today too :)

Traditionally, if the forums are up, Tranquility is up.
But rumor has it, CCP has finally moved the forums to a dedicated server (not Tranquility)...
So, who knows?

all times on the forum, website and in-game are based on a 24 hour clock. thus 10:00 is always 10AM. 10PM would be posted as 22:00

So whats the story on Eve going down before it was supposed too? I've seen maybe one thread stating otherwise in 10-20 threads of nonsence being redirected here.
I just assumed CCP had decided to DT early and i'd been shafted of 24+ hours training. This not the case?

From what I understand some of their internet providers went down... so some of us got screwed and others didn't. Hey CCP, since it wasn't your fault, how about you post the webpage of the internet provider that went down? That way those of us who got the shaft last night can mob up and let them know how we feel.

I got boned by the Internet outage. I tried repeatedly to log in and set my LONG skill but was unable to do so. BAH! After Tranq comes back up I will petition it and see if I can get credit. Since this does not seem to be an issue that was CCP's fault, only time will give the true answer

There were network issues on the part of our ISP that prevented some players from connecting to EVE before the server went down this morning. We did push back the start of downtime by an hour to assist those that missed the earlier opportunity to change skills, but an hour is all we could spare.
Part of this hardware upgrade is also to add multi-homing that should limit network issues of this morning's sort in the future.

As much as I would like to be able to say, "Yes", it would not be possible for us to determine who could and could not connect as a result of the network outtage.

Well, I feel screwed because this morning, I disconnected from Eve at exactly 9:59, thinking that the server would go down at 10:00... And guess what, now I read that the server stayed up for 1 extra hour, which means that I actually lost 1 hour of potential mining or mission running! I want that reimbursed!

I doubt that CCP has a clause in the EULA or wherever stating some sort of guaranteed server uptime. So, I don't see why people think they are owed something.
Although, I could be wrong. I was wrong before.

I was in the middle of a rat-fest, drones deployed and finishing up a skill, when everything dropped. Afterward I tried for two and a half hours to reconnect. During that time I was able to surf the web without any problems. The only site I could not go to was this one.
And you're telling me Tranquility wasn't down? I find that a bit hard to believe.
So, I stand to lose:
a) my brand new ship (it's insured, but my loadout is not)
b) my drones
c) possibly my implants, and
d) over 24 hours of training time.
I'm EST, and have to work like everyone else. I stayed up until 4:00 am this morning trying to salvage this mess. Never could get back online.
My question is: Will CCP assist those of us who can provide logs to prove they were harmed by the server drop?

I also stayed up until 4 am after unexpectedly having the server crash a few hours early before they said it would. I was just getting ready to change it to a long skill too. Because of this i have no skill in training now and lose 24 hour or more of training time........

Maybe that'll teach you to wait to the last possible second to set a long skill. I started training cruiser lvl 5 last week because of the DT coming up this week. I have 6 days left, and I'm still worried about losing skill training time.

Maybe that'll teach you to wait to the last possible second to set a long skill. I started training HAC last week because of the DT coming up this week. I have 6 days left, and I'm still worried about losing skill training time.
Last possible second? According to every piece of info we were given, I had at least 4 HOURS to train a long skill. I had it planned out, but in this case planning didn't do jack for me.

Last possible second is 24 hours prior to scheduled DT. Whenever CCP says "We're taking the servers down for an extended DT at such and such time," it ALWAYS goes down at least 2-3 hours prior to the scheduled time. ALWAYS. Every time in recent memory where they said they were taking it down for an upgrade or patch or whatever, the server took a nose dive early. You have to learn to work around CCP, since very rarely can you work WITH them.

True, it would be impossible for you to determine who could and couldn't connect as a result of the network outtage. But, wouldn't it be a wise decision to reimburse 24 hours worth of skill points to those of us who did not have skills training during the extended DT, just to keep your custormers happy? It wouldn't cost CCP anything really to reimburse skill points, would it?
What you can determine for sure is that your customers had no fault in this network outage.

If they really want to repay us, they can set up a **** skill queue. That way it won't happen again, and it would make all of the players extremely friggin' happy.

The ISP went down just before I got home for the night yesterday - so I finished a skill and was unable to switch it (it didn't come up until after I went to sleep).
To add insult to injury, there's a 24 hour downtime today.
To add grievous wound to injury, my (real) bank account is currently empty, and my account expires during the DT. So for the next week and a half until payday, I get no training.
Should anyone connected to CCP have the ability, I'd love it if they either gave me an extra day of game time, or switched my skill to Astrogeology V. :)
Alternatively, I am accepting offers for purchasing the account. All I have left is Astrogeology V and Exhumers become an option.

Why does it take 24 hours to add *extra* servers? It's not like the existing ones are being inplace replaced with new hardware.
I'm just curious, because in infrastructure that I support adding "stuff" would be done with virtually no downtime as it doesn't/shouldn't affect the existing infrastructure.

Agreed. I thought I was safe with it still being a few hours before downtime. And was just getting ready to switch. :( It is not our fault EVE's ISP crashed unexpetedly just a few hours before the "real" downtime. I bet this loss of skill training happened to at least a couple thousand players. Since it was the games servers fault and not our own, i think this deserves a reimbursement.

I don't want to sound like a wet blanket, but what is it that makes MMO players think that they are some kind of fu**ing god? We've known for weeks that the servers would be down on November 1st for 24 hours, we've known that we need to set long training time for downtimes for years, and we should ALL know the Golden Rule of MMO downtimes: "If they say they will be down for X hours, add on 4 more." Everyone should be prepared for this. And prepared doesn't mean having a skill switch over 10 minutes or 10 seconds from when it's supposed to go down, it means HOURS.
The INSTANT the forums come back up 300 posts just errupt from the Ether screaming "OMFG why iz teh game still down!?" and "Forumz r not up 4ever I want them!" or "It's about fu**ing time the forums are up CCP, now fix my fu**ing game and make it better!"
Where do you people get off? What part of your mind registers you as some form of diety where your every whim and need must be met with 100% satisfaction? Are you going to say it's because you pay 15 bucks a month? Well if this is the first time you've ever been even the slightest inconvinienced by a purchase I wish I had your life. Giving money to some one or some thing in no way guarantees that it will be there or work for you 100% of the time 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If the server is down, it's down, chill the fu** out. If your order at Mcdonalds has pickles in it when you asked for no pickles then just take the three seconds it takes to pick them off and then eat it. Don't run screaming towards the counter demanding to speak to a manager because your entire day is now ruined due to a few inches of pickles. And DON'T come whining to the boards because the game isn't up and you can't get your fix in. It's ONE DAY! That's 48 cents for this entire month. If that's really that big of an issue for you, then I don't think an MMO is your cup of tea...
The EVE forum,
The WoW forum (especially)
ANY MMO forums....
*sighs* I know not ALL of you are complaining, so to those that aren't this isn't directed at you. But to the rest of you who think that your subscription entitles you to Royal Treatment on par with a king or queen, then I don't know how you've managed to live this long playing MMOs....

I think something needs to be done to reimburse us for the past two months of crappy lag and stuff that we've had to endure because of the Dragon code. That's more of a concern than missing out on 24 hours of training.
I think some tards being inconvenienced because they have no foresight shouldn't be reimbursed with anything. If anything, you should be banned from video games.

reimbursement only happens with a 2+ day downtime is what it takes for CCP to consider skill time or free days
That said i have several 30 day skills thta 2 days before a large upgrade downtime etc i put into place
Ok so a few thousand ppl stuffed up and didnt get in 12 hours before and hey they might loose a few dozen accounts but the less lag and better performance afterwards will be worth the wait
Just a reflection on our i want it now society and this is reflected ingame for larger corps where everyone wants it now even when plans are made over medium term time periods
Why do u think so many alliances and corps rise and fall all the time lack of patience and why do u think BOB is so successful - because they have medium to long term planning. The open nature of their decision making process helps as well

Well, I feel screwed because this morning, I disconnected from Eve at exactly 9:59, thinking that the server would go down at 10:00... And guess what, now I read that the server stayed up for 1 extra hour, which means that I actually lost 1 hour of potential mining or mission running! I want that reimbursed!
Did you get the ingame message saying that the server was going down at 1000GMT? Or the 15min or 1hr prior message?

I think the reimbursement issue is a legitimate question. The servers were to go down at a specified, prearranged time. They dropped early, catching many players off-guard.
Those who have played the game for years mention that this always happens. But those like myself, who are in their first month, have no way of knowing that.
Subscription is a contract. Yes, I know the EULA protects CCP from liability in this case; they certianly don't have to go back and sort through everything to award a very small percentage of players who got screwed. In fact, it would most likely be very time consuming.
But it would be a wonderfully nice gesture.

I can only wish you the best of luck when you deal with the wonderful world of contractors. Paying someone X thousand dollars, half up-front, to do something to your house for N days, and only THEN finding out if they knew what they were doing. THAT is something to complain about, EVE downtime means I can finally watch all the stuff my DVR has been recording.

Sharasa
Yes, this happened to me too. But so what ? The fault does not rest with CCP and they gave us plenty of advance warning about this upgrade so you (and I) could have set a long skill training well before the downtime to be safe instead of being sorry.
But you know what ? I don't care !
Ok, so I lose 30hrs worth of skill training ? Big Deal.
As much as I love EVE and will continue to play it, I have to say this to all those whiners out there -
GET A (REAL) LIFE - IT's A GOO**** GAME !
If you lose a few hours of skill training it's not the end of your world. If EVE has became that important too you then you seriously need to re-look at your priorities in life.
Play this game for fun and enjoy it but recognise that it is a form of entertainment and nothing more. There are more important things to do with your time (and mine) than whine about a little lost skill training.....

CCP can not be blamed for ISP issues and thus are not held responsible for your lossed skill time. For your infomation.... most of North America were stuck with your problem, however a few weren't.
The Internet is a web, that means there's more than 1 way of getting to a location. If you couldn't change your DNS and clear your network cache that's your fault, for that would have given you a different set of nodes to connect via.
Secondly, would you wait to the last day to write an assignment for university. Hell no. You'd do it a few weeks before it's due. So why not the same with your skills.
5 Days left on BS lvl5 :)
Changed my alts skill to BC lvl5... I won't need it untill kali, but its better to have something skilling than nothing.

No, I wouldn't wait until the last day to write an assignment.
However, EVE skills are hardly like assingments. I'd say they're closer to a gas tank.
Would I wait until I needed gas to fill it? Hell yeah. I wouldn't wait until the last minute, but I'd do it within, say, 4 hours.
Which was my plan. Train a useful skill until 3 hours or so before DT starts, then switch to a longish (18 day) skill that will train while my account is lapsed.

Hey, I know!
How about CCP sends out eve-mails to all players, informing them that there will be a downtime and that they should set a long skill ahead of time for good measure - just to be on the safe side.
That way, no one could whine that they don't read news/forums and didn't know about the downtime and lost training time to it.
BTW, lets get this straight, long skill=\=1d 2h 45s; long skill=4d 21h 33s. M'kay? Set that Caldari Cruisers LVL4 and chill, it's good for you. I guarantee it!
And another thing, if you are planning to play this game for any extended period of time, say at least for next two months -- NEWSFLASH! If you lose 30 hours, IT DOESN'T BLOODY MATTER! M'KAY!? GEEZ!

Well It's 07:20 and I can log onto Eve! Whoo Hoo! Nice one folks!
I understand folks could connect even before then - much kudos to CCP.
As for you winers "I didn't set my skill" oh comon!
For how long was the warning up on the forums? "the last second" to set a skill doesn't have to be within minutes or even hours - set the damm thing DAYS beforehand!
When you tell a friend "I'll be there in a minute" and you take 5 minutes does he ask for compensation?
The difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible |

Why does it take 24 hours to add *extra* servers? It's not like the existing ones are being inplace replaced with new hardware.
I'm just curious, because in infrastructure that I support adding "stuff" would be done with virtually no downtime as it doesn't/shouldn't affect the existing infrastructure.
its called covering you butt. -especially when you have a bunch of click
happy flaming hamster trolls that scream bloody murder the second CCP goes one
minute over they're scheduled uptime. overstating time estimates
on big network jobs is always a smart move. puts less stress on
the techs doing the job. less stress, less probability of time-stress
related errors. -and you come out smelling like a rose
when you come back up ahead of schedule.
-hey, even Scotty did it.
(btw, good move CCP on the downtime strategy)
ofc, Murphy pays no mind to such things..
****
as for all those clamoring about the training time issues from the ISP blackout
, 24hrs in the grand EVE scheme of things is nothing more
than a grain of sand in an hour glass.
ffs, grow up people and stop crying over spilled milk.
the fact that the servers were acting up for a few hours prior to
the dropout should have clued you to take no chances if it's
that important to you.
better yet, write a letter to Level 3 explaining how
your life was thrown into utter turmoil causing you
to lose precious training time in a MMORG due to their
lax security and demand that they drop 1440 minutes
worth of skill points into an envelope and overnight
to you it immediately!
-silly wabbits..
ok, now i'm starting to turn into a troll..
i shall now return to my cave and hide my troll
costume.. (my apologies)
(Props to CCP on the upgrade. everything running smooth
on this end so far)

Lots of people are normally very quick to jump on the "OH NOES the servers are still down" style threads when CCP goes over, even by a short period on a patch day, upgrade or even standard Downtime.
I hope all those who normally start crying if CCP are 10 seconds late will now join me in saying ..
Good Job in getting the servers back up ahead of schedule

I don't mean to fart in anyone's cookies.... but please keep in mind that CCP doesn't actually do any of the hardware installation (which is why this server upgrade and the past server upgrade went so **** smoothly) and they brought the servers up about 2.5 hours early to take them down an hour later. You should be praising the d00dz in the server room in London for doing their jobs right... 'cause CCP has issues doing their's (Dragon code branch = prime example).

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was a joint operation, so to say.
And what's wrong with Dragon?

Have experienced problems with the scanner. When scanning at maximum range with a setting of 360 degrees the scanner app hangs. The only way to get it to reset is to redock at a station.
Other than that CCP congrats on getting the universe back online ahead of schedule. After convo'ing with a few of my corp mates we all agree performance seems to be better, course full loads aren't applied yet but we are holding our breath!

Well played to all involved in the upgrade.
Prob went so smoothly to it being an install of more of the same kit where as the last time such a large kit install was done it was all brand new bleeding edge not played with before kit.
I applaud the fact that you have said it's a 24 hour DT and then bring it up early. MUCH MUCH better than saying it's a 12 hour DT and then extending it by a hour or two here and there.
Thanks to all involved once again.

Do you have "Use Overview Settings" ticked? If not, the scanner will scan for everything which is sure to take a lot of time in even the most unpopulated systems.
And no need to dock, right click the window's title and select "Close" - just like you would in Windows.

Well haven't had much chance to play yet, but seems smooth at the moment.
Good going CCP for getting the servers back up ahead of schedule.

Seriously people.
That's what I was thinking tbh.

My HD crashed yesterday, so i had to reinstall an older version of the client i had on another HD (v.3900).
If I now start the client and wanna login, i always get the folllowing message:
Quote:
"There was an unexpected error while retrieving patch status:
url
//www.eve-online.com/patches/patchinfo.asp?n=3900&u;&s;87.237.38.
200 not found
Would you like to attempt to download the patch manually? "
I cant download the client manually. If i try to all I get is an error message telling me that it cant find the site.

You are utterly and entirely incorrect. Our IT department performed the server install.

trouble logging in??? then CLEAR you CACHE!!
thats right people clear your CACHE if your having problems logging in , I renamed my cache to temp_cache to see if that was my problem and sure enough I could log in 17 minutes before downtime lol
be warned deleting the entire cache folder will erase all your bookmark folders so you want to save these areas of your cache when doing so..

I can't access the "Patch" and "Client" section of EVE website, too. CCP might wanna check into that.
