There is a window of opportunity to get the servers up and running again. Fair enough.
It is advertised as an hour and that seems to be reasonable.
What I would like to see is historical and ongoing statistics of CCPs success and failures in this department.
I'd like to know on average exactly how long is downtime been averaged out and if in fact the one hour (as advertised) is the "norm".
Is it less? Is it more? HOw is performance this year versus last year? etc.
Also, I'd like to be able to see the history of unscheduled crashes, emergency patches, reboots etc.
But most of all I'd like to know that names of programers responsible for screwups that see thousands of people trying to connect for hours at a streach only to get in, lagged out, only to get booted again and start the whole "30 more mins to uptime" cycle again.
In fact, I'd love to know they have been "let go" and how many children of theirs wouldn't be geting Christmas presents because mommy or daddy has been fired due to ineptitude on the job. (granted ... big ask I know)
That knowledge would comfort me during times I spend starting at the login screen.
large companies fire directors, GMs, departmental head in open accountability to their shareholders. Perhaps CCP would look into such policies.
You know... just for something to do while we all wait for the 2000 'on' switches to be flicked on the daisy-chained Pentium 200 and Apple IIe's they have running Eve.

With the way the players here are a mass of screaming idiots, there's no benefit from releasing the names of people who make mistakes.
I'm quite sure CCP internally know when someone messes up. There's no need for the screaming moron masses to find out.

While Wild Rho's post wasn't particularly constructive, it was accurate. Your post however is destructive.

Let he who is without blame cast the first stone Taikun.
Your original post is little more than a flame/whine with nothing postive or constructive in it.

I don't know.
I am curious about downtime stats over time. How well is that aspect of our paid service is performing.
The others are optional extras. Nice to haves.
Hardly a witch hunt.

Would be nice if I had the name and foto of people that bore me with their selfish suggestions on the forums while failing their teachers and bosses. More accountability should hopefully make them think a little longer before they post.

If you raise your eyes above the login screen, and you might need to turn around for this one, but try to locate a big, squared thing on teh wall. Comes with a handle, turn it/twist it and once opened, you will find loads of stuff outside, called RL.
Playing 23/7 is bad for you, and if it is only 22.5/7 it's not very much better... ---

It's more like downtime is 8:00pm-9:00pm for me. Prime time gaming for someone with job, wife and kids.
I only play 3-4 hours here and there and generally start after "downtime". An extra unscheduled hour or 2 downtime is... inconvenient to say the least.

As Stamm said, move. Only move to Europe, then downtime is conveniently during mid morning, when you should be at school/work. :)
Mind you, 11am-12noon can be a pain at the weekend, as that's "I'm getting up and want to play EVE".

Originally by: EULA While CCP attempts to have the System available at most times, CCP does not guarantee that the System will always be available, or that the System will not become unavailable during Game play. The System may become unavailable for a number of reasons, including without limitation during the performance of maintenance to the System, for the implementation of new software, for emergency situations and due to equipment or telecommunications failures.

Just for the case that you where serious about this: I was working in a company where this was done, but... This company had a shared service center for 7 banks, running their main host's their bancomat's (money machines, dont know how you would call them) their web-banking servers, their it infrastructure... And thos banks paid a "tiny bit" more than 15$ a month for that agreement that stated a minimum availability of the mainfraim of 99.5% per year.

Oooh, I know, I know!
I have the perfect solution for you!
If you do not want to play a game for which you have to pay and then be unable to play for one hour each day (on average, probably, I guess...), they have invented...
...drumrolls....
...OFFLINE GAMING! Yes!
A particular nice suggestion for you - TETRIS!
And all you need is a GameBoy!
No online fees, no server downtimes (unless you forget to change batteries - then the time it'll take to go to the store and buy new batteries can be seen as 'down time', or as plain stupidity, whichever you prefer...) and playing WHENEVER you like.
Perfect solution for people with jobs, kids, wives and other inconveniencies...
But seriously. Online gaming occasionally needs downtime for upgrades and whatsoever. At least that's what the developers of Eve chose for. You can read about it in Eve's descrition, BEFORE you decide to play the game or not.
A bit unnecessary to complain about it afterwards.
Live with it, or quit, it ain't all that difficult.

Your complaining about downtime in your original post, then in this one your complaining when they reboot to obviously fix an issue which could otherwise make downtimes longer in theory......

I to work in Banking. Strategy actually and we do hold our e-Com systems to a high level of performance.
Thise teams are held to a minimum standard of uptime. However... what I am interested in knowing from CCP... is
1. What the downtime is in actuality in a ongoing performance metric. 2. Types of and reasons for downtime. (Splits of normal downtime, messed up patches, emergency patches etc)
This 'should' verify to me the current advertised downtime stats of only one hour per day.
If it isn't then we are being lied to.
In my role, those teams the lie to me find themselves removed for the organisation for such behaviour.
I would expect CCP would be interested in not lying to its memberbase by incorrectly quoting downtime as only an hour if it was in fact longer than this on a regular and ongoing basis.
Especially if those responsible for daily downtime continue to quote downtime as only "one hour" to existing, and potential new members.
Prety simple really.
