Hamsters would go on strike without the regular downtime. Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content. Mail [email protected] if you have questions. -Hango

what the op is refering to is the fact that the game had 3 downtimes throughout the night since patch deployment all in excess of a hr long period
either their starting to test out the new heat addition on those poor T2 hamsters or there is a conflict with the game code / voice coms code causing it to be unstable to the point where the lag is very intense.
anyway im expecting either a roll back or a hot fix to address this situation

Well this is the only mmo I know that has such a regular dt every day, most have one a week for a few hours but... then again, this is the only mmo I know that has more then 5k players on a server so... I think we can all figure if its being done it must have to be done.

I read in a dev post in a heated discussion about this that they tried running Eve without the downtime, the servers didn't run long enough to justify the pain. I don't remember how long exactly but it was either 36 or 48 hours before they had to take it down. -----

Yes
And i quote:
Quote: As a result of CCP's attempt to create one large server for everyone to play on, the EVE server requires a certain amount of periodic maintenance. As a result, there is an official daily downtime from 11:00 to 12:00 GMT every day (though it may at times be shorter).

was there any mention of the cooling off period after that test before they got the server back up?

DT is the only time of the day I can be free from Eve, unless i go to the test-server. In that 1 hour I live in real life.
I need it lol Please Help me, YOU could be next!

From what I have read in the various dev posts. Most of Dt is used to optinmise the database. Specifically things like the item ID's every unquie item has them and when that item is trashed the ID and associated tabled etc need to cleaned up to allow that ID to be reused.
Also consider the possibility of part of the server code having a tiny memory leak (not uncommon in any multi developer application). While a daily reboot allows the server free this miss-allocated memory imagine what would happen if they were left to run perminatly. --------------------------------- Monkey Nut CEO - PioneerX Productions A dedicated young/new player training and assistance corporation.

Edited by: Entity on 25/05/2007 12:02:05 Even just by observation you can deduce that a lot of stuff happens during a downtime, including but not limited to:
- Outpost deployment - Load (re)balancing - Database stuff (optimization, statistics, cleanups) - Corp standings updates - Hamster feeding
It's obvious all of these things aren't done on an emergency reboot when the server goes to hell, so DT is quite neccessary.
Edit: Sovereingty updates too!
