Tal Ribek Caldari Kingdom of Kador	Posted - 2007.06.24 00:38:00 - [1] Is it just me or has there been considerable lag tonight, now I can't even log back in after the game totally froze up :( ______________________________________
GndAdmiralThrawn	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:30:00 - [2] They've taken the server offline because of it. I hope they get it fixed soon. I need MY fix!
Karrade Krise	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:31:00 - [3] Originally by: GndAdmiralThrawn They've taken the server offline because of it. I hope they get it fixed soon. I need MY fix! Ditto
Kushman	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:33:00 - [4] yea this is rediculous, i get 2 days off a week, last day off was patch day, todays day off...nightmare lag and server down...def. money well spent -Kush
Mingmei Lien Gallente	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:34:00 - [5] It was lagging in the extream and now it wont even let me log in. It keeps saying there are possible db issues in the news window. And to quote the popup box that shows after I try to log in: "Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number is wrong." Well I logged in to post this just fine, am on an IM client, and was running two browsers just fine. I didn't alter the software, etc. :-P So I'm guessing there is some burb going on for Tranquility. The forums also were down briefly. Another MMORPG I was on had a similar issue at one point from the forums, auth server and game clusters using the same DB server or something. When they switched the forums to their own seperate that helped. No idea their setup here though.
Dash Ryder Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:39:00 - [6] I just started playing for the first time like two hours ago.... This doesnt happen often does it?
Taupaxia	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:39:00 - [7] I lagged out during battle tried for an hour to log back in but i couldnt can i expect to log in tommorow and find my self dead ? if so this new subscriber will definately not be continuing his membership past the free month ...... :( Shame as you lot seem to have a decent MMORPG going on here .
Mintoko Nova Inc.	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:41:00 - [8] Originally by: Dash Ryder I just started playing for the first time like two hours ago.... This doesnt happen often does it? Not very often, of course, they installed a massive update a few days ago and they just installed some new hardware, so these types of problems can be expected.
Ayathula Gestaurien	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:42:00 - [9] I guess the thing that irritates me the most is the complete lack of communication/information you get from CCP when there are issues. The client is still saying "possible database issues" yeah ok... its now obviously more than "possible". Not only that, but tying the support servers to the games servers so that when the game tanks, support is unavailable is somewhat shortsighted. Come on CCP, get your act together. We dont care if you dont know whats wrong... tell us you dont know, and that you're working on it. Tell us what you think is wrong, tell us your crazy ideas to fix it. We just want to know that you're as interested in getting things fixed as we are for you to get them fixed.

Expected but not excused, mind you.
Ari Chu Bughunter Industries	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:43:00 - [11] 1) I've only played for a couple months - and no this doesn't happen often.. Sometimes get kicked off and log back on - no big deals. 2) From what I've heard/read/seen - if you get your ship blown up during things like this: definately petition it. From what I hear CCP is pretty good about replacing stuff if the loss was caused by the server or whatever. 3) Time to find some food and see if the servers are back up. --- "The Galaxy is only as big as you make it." - presumably Eve Game Designers.
Prolixj2 Gallente Veterans Of Liberation	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:44:00 - [12] please replace the tired hamsters, that is all
Mingmei Lien Gallente	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:44:00 - [13] Originally by: Dash Ryder I just started playing for the first time like two hours ago.... This doesn't happen often does it? No I have been playing for a little over a month. It goes down briefly for maintenance. I live in Western Canada so with the different timezones I don't really notice that maintance much. But the game can go out briefly for patches. All MMORPGS have some downtime. Sort of a fluke as a new player you caught it.
Raven Darkmatter	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:44:00 - [14] Hope the massive lagg is fixed soon i might have lost a ship in the start of it. I would hate to see my myrm to go down in a firey blaze.
Whip Spifter	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:45:00 - [15] well in MY experience - this happens at least weekly, usually the weekends when 30k ppl are on. So, yes it is a regular occurrence - never seen it happen so often in an MMORPG with PAYING customers
Matarsebi	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:47:00 - [16] yea ive got the same problem right now. hope it gets fixed soon
MagicMike	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:47:00 - [17] Totally unacceptable for a game that you have to pay for! This type of thing has been happening a lot lately.
Mingmei Lien Gallente	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:48:00 - [18] Originally by: Ayathula Gestaurien The client is still saying "possible database issues" yeah ok... its now obviously more than "possible". I'm getting intermittent forum errors with the working on it message. I'd say yes they have some clue what is going on and yes probably be db. The fact it also affects the forum as well as the game, but not the auth to log in here... hmm... :-P If it persists I'll expect the forums will bug out for a period and so will the game then both will come back up.
Groves111 Antares Fleet Yards SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:48:00 - [19] No, this kind of thing doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. We aren't even a week out from the deployment of revs II so there are many bugs to be found and squashed that might not have been possible to test on sisi (test server) for example having 24,000 players+ logged into the same server. I'm sure the devs are working their ass off to get the cluster back up and running again. Thanks, Groves111.
Estoika Chonda Gallente Kharak Confederation	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:50:00 - [20] Edited by: Estoika Chonda on 24/06/2007 01:48:54 Yawn!! Now I cannot login What is going on? This is a payment game!! It would be online 24/7... there's only online 23/7 and now this... Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong. With blood in our voices we ride, we'll fight till we win or we'll fight until we die!!
Server	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:50:00 - [21] I can't play either... and my name is Server. I'll apologize for Tranquility... <Tranquility> "I'm sorry but 30,000+ people make my brain throb. Please understand my trouble. Thank You."
R3L1CUK Caldari The Dark Angels	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:51:00 - [22] would be nice of CCP to at least give everyone an update....
Daywalker Hawk	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:52:00 - [23] lets hope the server is back on soon. its now about 2-3hours since i dropped out and i lost 2 hours allready for training skills. so work fast people.
Aravandor	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:52:00 - [24] I sometimes wonder whether any of you who complain about events like this have any concept of the complexity of Eve. I run a network of about 60 machines and I know what it is like to have servers crash or databases lag. I know the feeling of almost swallowing your tongue when you're called at 2 am when a server falls apart. Give CCP some credit. They have developed a game you love to play and serve it out to 20,000+ players around the clock. This is a small miracle in itself. Get over yourselves.
R3L1CUK Caldari The Dark Angels	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:53:00 - [25] Originally by: Estoika Chonda Edited by: Estoika Chonda on 24/06/2007 01:48:54 Yawn!! Now I cannot login What is going on?

Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong. the servers were taken down due to a possiable DB problem. they said it would be down for 20 min, and they said they would update the forums... almost 1 hour later NOTHING
Gar Nomar	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:53:00 - [26] Originally by: Mintoko Originally by: Dash Ryder I just started playing for the first time like two hours ago.... This doesnt happen often does it? Not very often, of course, they installed a massive update a few days ago and they just installed some new hardware, so these types of problems can be expected. This has happened more in the past few months than it has in the past year before that! It seems to be every weekend now! If we all start saying "It's to be expected" then we are all just giving them permission to do the smallest amount of work needed to keep customers. Instead, we should be writing MORE regarding the horrible performance this game has experience since the WW merger and the Need for Speed initiative took place... Downward spiral, folks! I've paid up for the year, but if this doesn't improve, I will have wasted a year and a half of time hoping these yahoos would be able to keep this wreck moving... Gah!!! I'm so ****ed right now...
Mingmei Lien Gallente	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:53:00 - [27] Originally by: Whip Spifter well in MY experience - this happens at least weekly, usually the weekends when 30k ppl are on. So, yes it is a regular occurrence - never seen it happen so often in an MMORPG with PAYING customers You don't play WoW do you? I play it and GW as well. I was on one of the new groups they brought up not long ago(EI in WoW) and it had repetitive technical problems. Different hardware on them and something quirky in the software. I said something about possible db corruption observing the forum behaviour and some other game behaviour another time. Later they switched the forums off to seperate. shrug Then I also have my most active characters on the servers released right for expansion and were transfer to reduce load from existing servers. Again technical issues. Finally they have calmed down but try over a week of constant problems. Older servers weren't having the same issues and were reachable at the time. GW you don't pay a monthly fee but WoW's is comparable to here.
1337 AliP	Posted - 2007.06.24 01:58:00 - [28] If this doesn't stop I'm canceling my sub, no sense in playing this the way it is now. Currently I'm stuck in Jita and cant log in :(

They have developed a game you love to play and serve it out to 20,000+ players around the clock. This is a small miracle in itself. Get over yourselves. I'm wondering how many machines they have up for this. I know it runs smoother than some of the MMORPG's I play. Btw while I haven't maintained that many machines I'm BOFH in training this fall. ;-) They did say at one point they would have an update at some point in the forums. I'm guessing they are hovering over a box working on it and just haven't got to it.
Ayathula Gestaurien	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:00:00 - [30] Latest info is that that db issues caused a reboot, servers should be back around 02:20.
DeadNite	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:01:00 - [31] Relax people. The game will be up soon. I too, am sitting her not earning any sp or isk... so...what can we do? Nothing but wait. We pay for this game for a reason. Its a bad ass game. Period. You got to give these guys credit...a year ago we broke the 20k mark....now we are consistanly having over 30k people...on one server...at the same time. That is a marvel in itself. It you want something interesting to read...checkout the titan kill thread :P
Snezhana Zinoviyovich	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:01:00 - [32] Aravandor, I think we all appreciate the small miracle of Eve's network and systems, however the nature of capitalism is a GREAT miracle, not a small one, which allows the provisions for this game. The dollars will begin to vote if things like this keep happening. We need to let them know, that's all. . .
Astral Fox Gallente The Infinite Eye	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:02:00 - [33] 02:20 GMT - that's 03:30 my time - sheesh - I'd go to bed already but I've got 5 jetcans full of ore & a barge floating around...... Good thing I don't have to work in the morning. yawn Astral.

Modrin Gallente Esoteria Enterprises Stella Nova United	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:02:00 - [35] Hey look, it's new content, alot of new stuff is introduced, CCP has always tried to fix things fast, and I don't know about the rest of you but I've seen faster fixes and results in this than I have much larger and more popular MMORPGs. Give it some time, CCP will fix it. Modrin Galactice Blue Collar Guy
Sylfamas Caldari Sarmizegetusa	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:04:00 - [36] i am also stuck in Jita ... have been a lot of these things lately and i don't think the 200 000 paying customers are satisfied to see this. Anyways, i hope they'll get it fixed soon. We get almost two hours downtime + the extended downtime for new servers... this is not what we can expect for paying as much as for any other MMORPG on the market... -----------------Signature------------------------- I only have one rule: Everyone fights, no one quits.

Gah!!! I'm so ****ed right now... Eve only has about 18 more months of game time. Star Trek Online next year will eat any of the new player base, and take 1/3 out of Eve.
Mingmei Lien Gallente	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:05:00 - [38] Originally by: DeadNite Relax people. The game will be up soon. I too, am sitting her not earning any sp or isk... so...what can we do?

It you want something interesting to read...checkout the titan kill thread :P Well plenty to do actually. Write on message boards, email, do other computer tasks, actually get out of your desk chair go to some other spot in your house and work on another hobby intrests... geez more to life than a video game. Yes we pay for it, no point in stressing out or freaking out or getting the equiv of road rage to a game. Life is > than a video game. Yes it's down, yes we want to play, it will be back up, it always is and we can always find other things to do and then check back. I know though it is more irritating to people who have very restricted play times but stuff happens pretty much sums it up.

Mingmei Lien Gallente	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:08:00 - [40] Originally by: Benny Hill Eve only has about 18 more months of game time. Star Trek Online next year will eat any of the new player base, and take 1/3 out of Eve. Stargate SG1 will have out their MMORPG in about a year as well. However like all MMORPGS the content/storyline/playability is all a little different. So they will always grab slightly different audiences.
Aidan LeChance	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:13:00 - [41] and lotro was supposed to kill wow. Its still a growing market and honestly, there's no guarantee the star trek online game will be any good. anyways, before the server went down i had to alt tab and close even because i was basically stuck in an endless loop fighting some weenie ship which was doing almost 0 damage to me but kept healing because of lag. whats going to happen? am i going to log on and find myself in a pod?

CCP never has made lag and connection issues a priority, and the dissatisfaction of that is well known with the creators of STO at least. Just read the blogs and news items of the STO development, They do play Eve, and they do watch Eve. Unless CCP radically changes Eve, and radically advertises that, the game lag may fix itself from the lack of players next year.
Kaian Voskhod	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:14:00 - [43] + the fact that Europe players pays a lot more than other players, i say: by eve.

The dollars will begin to vote if things like this keep happening. We need to let them know, that's all. . . Right but thats the problem with this world. Every coproration basses policies, proceedures, and accountability on a perfect world. Which is redicous because we all know its not. So you threatening funding for something that provides you more entertainment then most other things you do at a fraction of the cost. Not to mention they are doing something that has never been done in this magnitude before...and your expecting it to be perfect. Eve is up 95% of the time. Quit acting like you think the world is perfect and everything works like it is supost to. Especcially for a company who bends over backward for all its subscribers. No expansion cost, 95% uptime, low subscription fee, actually provides fixes and content upgrades, and hell-a-fun. Try taking a look at it from their point of view...maybe that will help.
MagicMike	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:19:00 - [45] People who were in the middle of missions should be safe they will reset. However the people who had finished missions and were heading to loot/salvage get screwed! Losing all that loot/salvage does not sit well with me. A simple "oh we can't do anything about that" is really starting to suck!

Unless CCP radically changes Eve, and radically advertises that, the game lag may fix itself from the lack of players next year. Plus that in STO you can walk on stations and on ships, things that eve online only expects to release next year (the most early date, it can be in 2009) and by the time that happens, players will be so eager to walk in stations and on their own ship that they will change to STO and never return to EVE (because they will accomodate fast in that society after that)... so it's all up to CCP what move they make next -----------------Signature------------------------- I only have one rule: Everyone fights, no one quits.

I have XBox Live. low subscription, free upgrades. no expansion cost, and 100% uptime.

While yes we all pay and like to play the game when we can, it's still just like any other game out there. There are glitches, bugs, issues, what-have-ya in just about any software out there. I've only been playing for a couple months. I just barely been playing MMO's for about a year. These comments made toward CCP and threatening to leave, they are really not called for. and if you think about it, if they do respond to some of your posts, it'll be in a way like putting kindling on a fire. Sometimes makes the problem worse. Soo suggest a little cooperation from some of the player and patience. It'll get resolved soon enough. Deacenter
JKinkaid	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:21:00 - [49] It is funny... That message showed up about 15 minutes ago... 30 minutes AFTER 2:30am GMT. I am -6 GMT which would make it 20:30 (8:30pm) my time for the servers to come up... It is now 21:20 (9:20pm) my time. Only thing I can figure is they meant 3:30 GMT.... JKinkaid
Matarsebi	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:22:00 - [50] well looks like 2:30 now XP
Astral Fox Gallente The Infinite Eye	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:23:00 - [51] I'm certain that STO & SG1 will both be a thousand times better than Eve......until you hand over your hard-earned cash. 'The grass is always greener'. Astral

Modrin Gallente Esoteria Enterprises Stella Nova United	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:24:00 - [53] Look at it as this, people who are gonna whine because of a hiccup are just gonna whine, those of us that are adults are going to know that stuff happens and we just gotta deal or move on. So how about intead of whining and falming about CCP we just wait and see what happens, it's not the end of the world people. If I can go to Iraq for a year and come back in one piece and be fine then you can live without EVE for a day, give em a chance to fix it before you cry and kick. A game and service this large and diverse isn't gonna be a fast fix. Modrin Galactice Blue Collar Guy

I'd rather look at it from an OBJECTIVE point of view DeadNite. I've already looked at it from their point of view, mine, and a few others I can imagine in the fraction of a second I allocated. This forum is to convey informatin, in this case, the experiences and needs of the subscribers, who pay the bills, to those who would privde for those needs. A healthy business would take it in stride and would thrive from constructive criticism or "feedback" from it's customers. Perhaps the most perfect world is the actual world, consider Candide. At any rate. . . I'm bored. I woke up drunk and I wanted to play and BAM whoa, it's not here. looks like I have to read or post or something. . . yay.

I'd rather have it and the few hours of instability that follows. I've played mmo's for quite a while now and eve is pretty good patchwise. Just try playing WoW... See, here's a frigging adult, deal with it people, and you know what, if you're gonna cry then please cancel your sub, that's less whiners and immature crybabies using server resources and exerting their crybaby/14 year old personality on EVE.

Nothing but wait. We pay for this game for a reason. Its a bad ass game. Period. You got to give these guys credit...a year ago we broke the 20k mark....now we are consistanly having over 30k people...on one server...at the same time. That is a marvel in itself. It you want something interesting to read...checkout the titan kill thread :P actually i thought that a year ago we broke the 30k player mark but still, we do have to give them some credit for trying to fix any bugs or issues that that the game has had.
New Hampshire Caldari Antares Frontier The Fifth Race	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:32:00 - [59] Saturdays are busy days for Eve. This is the first Saturday following the latest patch. Even though the game has crashed, the patch was a good thing and the crash is an unfortunate technical glitch that CCP will work out. There are valid reasons to criticize CCP, but this crash is not one of those reasons.
Daywalker Hawk Caldari Haluter-Gilde	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:32:00 - [60] funny first restart was at 02:20GMT then 02:30GMT now its 02:45GMT but server is booting up. well but i see it like most of the people rev2 was some step and bugs are normal just give them some time to solve things up so we can play.

Mingmei Lien Gallente	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:33:00 - [62] Originally by: Astral Fox I'm certain that STO & SG1 will both be a thousand times better than Eve......until you hand over your hard-earned cash. 'The grass is always greener'. Astral I don't expect SG1 to be better. I expect it to frankly be buggy on first release and test. The concept art and tests art is amazing though. I have seem some of the show props(it is filmed near me, there was a prop sale not too long ago, and someone I knew that worked fx). Anyways I like the show and egyptian looking stuff so that is my draw to it. I am likely to buy and play it. But it will be a different experience than Eve or the other MMORPGS I've tried or play. While it looks neat if it fails on playability I will dump playing it no matter how cool it looks. Which is why I don't play GW much as I didn't like the feel of it quite the same as the others I play. I haven't tried LOTR though know people that did switch to it. Some could move, some could play both. But new games always will have bugs and also at the same time an amount of flash. All MMORPGS have to deal with downtime, patches, and equipment changes. It is a learning experience for those that create the games and those that maintain the machines they run on. But also there is no such thing as instant gratification. In any job or part of life stuff happens and sometimes it isn't a quick fix and is frustrating for all parties. Other times things run smooth and go great and everyone cheers it on.

Joe or Jane flops down on that cot with a pad on it turns to the side and flicks the computer to get their fix and a little bit of escape in the form of EVE (online) but it's not there. . . so they gotta suck it up and deal with it. but do you want them to have to deal with it? that's the story of their life though. it's always surving up an (expletive deleted) sandwich

Zanpt	Posted - 2007.06.24 02:52:00 - [72] Originally by: Aravandor I sometimes wonder whether any of you who complain about events like this have any concept of the complexity of Eve. I run a network of about 60 machines and I know what it is like to have servers crash or databases lag. I know the feeling of almost swallowing your tongue when you're called at 2 am when a server falls apart. Give CCP some credit. They have developed a game you love to play and serve it out to 20,000+ players around the clock. This is a small miracle in itself. Get over yourselves. I sometimes wonder whether any of you apologists have any concept that the world is filled with systems much larger and more complex than Eve that run without any of the problems Eve exhibits. Think of the computers and networks that provide you with banking services, credit card services, brokerage services, securities market trading services, plus of course all the very large websites that seem to just always work... amazon.com, etc. Suppose your bank were to lose $1,000 of your money. Would you be making all these excuses for your bank? 60 machines, eh? Wow. I used to develop OS and communication software and have a hand in the operations for a financial services firm and was Mgr of Systems & Programming at the central site. We served a network of about 7,000 machines and 70,000 terminals. We were allowed ZERO errors and ZERO downtime because 60% of the brokerage and investment community of the U.S. was dependent on our service. If we had failed, exchanges would have had to stop trading. The problem here is that CCP doesn't understand "mission critical," and neither, apparently, do you.

I know, it is annoying. VERY annoying at times. I was in the middle of combat when the lag hit. But you know what? The biggest problem with any game run through technology and distributed world-wide is that something will ALWAYS go wrong. As for it happening weekly... that wouldn't happen to coincide with them taking things down for regular maintenance, would it? "Voila!

Gah!!! I'm so ****ed right now... That's why I keep CCP on a very short leash -- 30-day Game Time Codes. If they really annoy me or deny a petition I think they should have reimbursed, I take it directly out of their revenue stream by allowing anywhere from one to nine accounts expire and stay expired for a while. I am the plaintiff, the judge, and I levy and collect the fines. There is no appeal.

WoW only recently implemented a live update system. Though for some reason they still also continue with a downtime every tuesday. Not sure how many machines they fully run though.
