Keep straightening out those deck chairs on the Titanic. 
Why not shoot for something you have a chance of getting and which we haven't seen recently - 5,000 online?

Because 5,000 would not break a world record, 10,000 would.

Thread cleaned up and troll/flaming comments removed. *doe pops those who who posted those things*
The idea for this was not ours, but came from someone in the community. I'm sorry that I can't remember who originally thought it up and give props to him.
We do believe that this goal is possible if people don't dogpile up in a few systems or all try to log in at the exact same moment. Hellmar's been stoked about the idea since the first time he read about it on the forums - and it's very important that we keep him happy, so I hope that everyone will at least give it a shot.
There's a strong possibility we can put something in the News as we get closer to the target date so that those who don't read the forums can participate as well.

This was NOT a CCP idea.
This will aid the community and CCP in a number of ways...
1) Stress test the servers. Can they take more than double the load they are under now if not at least CCP have a start point to work from.
2) World Record.... just think of the adverstisement and reputation that can be gained from this.
3) Gives US somthing to cheer about.

That brings up a good point! TELL YOUR CORPMATES!! If possible, post in any corp boards or on websites. Since part of the trick will be getting people on who normally don't come on all at the same time, info will have to be spread via some "perma" methods like webpages or eve-mail.

Pann,
That would be an excellent idea and probably help the mission. I would suggest putting it up at least 2-3 days before the 7th so people have time to let it sink in and plan accordingly. :-)

I don't know how good it would be to advertise it in the news. But oh well. Let me explain.
As I said before, this goal can be accomplished if we DON'T TRY to gather at one system or try to "brake" things.
The idea is simple: get in the game, and do what you are used to. Not something that you would with "stress testing" in mind (oh, 10k players online!!  I'll keep docking and undocking, or searching the market from 20 to 24 GMT )
We need to test the concept, not bandwidth or server capacity. And the concept behind EVE is about distributed computing. Statisticaly speaking, that means that the infra-structure should handle the load if we are splitted all around the EVE universe.
Edit: oh, and as someone already said, it won't hurt to remember: let the word reach your corp mates. These forums represent only a tiny portion of the players that use the servers.

Stealthnet,
I am a little unclear about how putting anything about the big logon in the news would turn the event into something different than what it would be if it weren't in the news unless it was worded really poorly or told everyone to go to a specific system. Perhaps you could elaborate?

Hi,
I think it's an extreme situation. But there are all kinds os players here. Our community is very diversified, with people that play it for fun, to have fun with friends, and to have fun destroying the game play for others. These are the ones that Im afraid of.
While this attempt is a user thread, players come to the forums, read it, and if they don't find it interesting, laugh once or twice and forget it.
Those hard time griefers may post 1 or 2 comments, post some fancy sig, etc. But the low profile remains.
Once CCP advertise it in the news, it will gain an "official" aspect. It may encourage sutch people to try to brake it. Maybe trying to gather in a highway system with friends, I don't know. The possibilities are quite numerous.
Maybe I'm being a bit extremist. But you asked my opinion, here it is :) I hope this message won't raise a hell of a bunch of flames and etc and get this thread eventually locked...

Will we be reimbursed for the 4 hours we wont really be able to play?
The server performance over the last few days has been weak. So expect a lot of lag on the 7th.
I hope the server wont be to laggy, but i seriously doubt they can handle 10k players.
My pesimistice preview:
there will be 100+ ppl in amarr and the server will be rebooted. After the reboot everyone tries to login again, second crash, rinse repeat till enough ppl get bored.

I'll be on as normal, but one thing that is really annoying me is that there is no such time as 24:00, last time I was at school the clocks started at 00:00 and finished at 23:59 or did someone create a new hour somwhere and forget to tell me?

Stealthnet,
You do bring up excellent points and I can see where your fear comes from. I guess the only thing I can say is in my opinion it would be better to have more people know about the event than to worry about the possible threat of griefers. It is like terrorists and terrorism, do you let them win by being scared to go out of your house or do you make their power insubstantial by not being afraid?
Plus, since the event really has no central location, it would be hard for them to bring down the event. I think the worst that could happen is a lot of them show up and cause their usual problems and maybe bring down a sector. While in general I think this is a bad thing, the fact that they would show up would only add numbers towards the goal.

Well, where I live both ways are accepted. It usually depends on who manufactured the clock. Some use 24:00 and some use 00.00.
