No surprise. But i dont like the way all this is going on. A little more transparency would be great. Instead there is no word of information beforehand, and the players get access to the game with deactivated markets, making paying customers beta-testing what was done to solve other problems. This wouldnt be a problem at all, if there had been some information about what will happen. Everybody would gladly participate. But like this..? I will keep logged off for the evening, and i would recommend others to do the same. Or at least dont fly around your shiny Ships. I only almost lost my domi to lag, but what about those people losing their stuff based on missing info? CCP always had guts. Why not take the servers down for a day, and make things work properly before going on air again. Would love that.

Just imagine the periodically recurring shitstorm after days like this from the perspective of CCP. How much work comes at them, looking through all these tickets, how much money they lose to frustrated people, be it as unreasonable as it may be. Again a big chance wasted to highlght the bonds between players and gamemakers. Why not ask people" Yo! We need some Load on the System to see if everything works. Would you be part of that? We-¦d greatly appreciate it! Oh, and by the way, dont get in situations you cant afford to loose control of." I know, i know, you learn by pain. But this goes in both directions. The players learn to "not play on patch day", but what does CCP learn? From a cynical point of view i-¦d say: "1.Throw them into unfinished business 2. Let them test and pay for testing. 3.??????? (Success--Fail? 4. Doesent matter. 5. PROFIT!! Learning would be to integrate people in the process and be open. It is that simple. Take a day for big changes, grant access to a limited number of players and let them go about their business, when everything is done, everybody gets a cookie and all sides are happy.
