I am new in this game, but not new with that kind of game server down, So i have a question about skill for old players.
What happen with our skill training, will we loose time in training or will it be as it should be went the server will be back online. Because for me time is essential, should have my first Orca next week end, i don't want to loose the time that server is down, even if it mean loosing about millions isk/hours. |

The characters that were training at the time of the server going down for reasons like this one will continue to train while the server is down. Characters continue training during downtime, be it scheduled or unscheduled. The only time that doesn't happen is if you're account expires (training pauses until your account is resubbed) or your training queue finishes without further skills being queued.
If you had skills queued up, they should still be training while this is all going on.
Btw, this is a good reason to consider planning ahead when you have a moment and sorting out a lengthy skill queue. There's no 24hr limit on queues anymore, so you only have the 50 skill limit to deal with. Queue up a few long term skills just in case. Under normal circumstances, you can always insert a more immediately needed skill next in line of your queue, but the long term skills you set in can make sure you're always training something at least.

The server doesn't count down every single point that you train, like your training queue.
The server only looks at your skillpoints when YOU log in and ask it for an update, by opening your skill queue or character sheet. And at that point the server does: "How much time has passed? 5 hours 23 minutes 35 seconds? He should have accumulated...(quick math based on your attributes and skill)... x amount of points. Here you go, your total is x."
So CCP could take the server off for DAYS and you'd still train your points, because it only does the math when you log in.
If they have a long outage, they may reimburse people for the inability to log in and enjoy the game, with a few hours or a day extra subscription time. They usually don't give skillpoints, people just wish for that.
Personally I think they should implant a skill at 0 into everyone's head, just to mess with the OCD skill extractor people. |

You might want to learn patience. When you fly an orca you'll need a lot of it. |

This.
In the old days people would log in to set a long skill prior to the patch for "just in case". Then we got skill queues that were 24 hours so that became less of a thing.
Now with the current skill queues you have queue an years worth of training...so you never hear, "Patch day, set a long skill...."
And no, I am not nostalgic...love the new system.
