During the extended downtime on Tuesday 16th October we will be opening the test server, Singularity, for a good old-fashioned Armageddon day!
ò CONCORD will be locked inside the nearest space donut store, and all solar systems will be set to 0.0 security status. ò All pilots will have super characters (yes, thatÆs right, the 480 million skillpoint ones). ò The market will be fully seeded with ships, modules and ammo. ò ôFree for allö rules will apply across the galaxy. Or no rules at all. Whichever you prefer. ò There will be explosions. Lots of explosions.
Singularity will be opened around GMT1000 and will stay open until the Tranquility cluster comes back online. You wonÆt need to patch up to a test version, as all of this will be run using the current TQ client.
Why the big event? We are looking into some issues that have been occurring with our proxy servers, so we would very much appreciate as many players to participate as possible.

That, or you could extend it for the rest of the day? Pls? 24 hour Armageddon?
i would like to leave it running til about 8-9pm GMT, but it's not my server and i can't decide. we also need to focus on the new expansion but i will speak to the others.

When I was demoing at PAX, they set up super characters for us to use. It's a LOT of fun to just grab any old ship you want and go get asploded/asplode people.
I think I annoyed Kaemonn when I fitted out a Hulk with smartbombs, though. It was the last half hour of the con and I was very tired/punchy.
This sounds like a lot of fun.

Originally by: CCP Sharkbait i will speak with the head of QA tomorrow morning and see if he is willing to leave it on the server for 24 hours. but as i said we are very busy and it might not be possible.
Surely you aren't that busy, as you scheduled Armageddon, which means all ISD / CCP turn up in Titans and blow the **** out of jita
yes we are that busy and we are doing this to try and help solve an issue on TQ. if this proves successful, then i might do it again for other stress tests.

In preparation for tomorrow, the security status of all systems has been reduced to 0.0. It should be pretty epic.

ôWar is not the dreadful end to all things as mankind fears. Conflict brings balance to nature as it adapts, mutates, and transforms itself into something stronger than before. Mankind is the master of nature because we can choose those mutations on our own accord. We can accelerate the inevitable dominance of a species. Through war, we can make ourselves stronger at the time and place of our choosing. War is not hell, far from it. War is beautiful.

Armageddon Day will continue after the regular Sisi downtime, which has been used to tweak the servers a little and allow for better performance.
Remember that singularity is just a test server, and has nowhere near the same power behind it as the main server, Tranquility.

We are still working to get SiSi back online for this. The test has been producing some great results thus far, and we want to continue hammering away at the test server. Currently we are getting a new DB build done, and it should be back in an hour. See you then! -- The cake is a lie! |

Sorry gents the load on making you all super chars on login was causing the server to stress out on peak logins.
I have fixed the problem by the server only giving you a super character once only. (before it was making you a super on every login attempt) The server also now gives you 10 billion isk upon your login as well.
I am setting a que on the server to prevent over load.. it will be a soft que meaning I will simply adjust the user cap every 5 minutes or so and increase it by 50 or 25. That way no one is stuck waiting in a line hopefully.

New DB mirror is working much much better, but needed another reboot to get rid of CONCORD and the super character thingy to work. Cross your fingers and prime your guns. We should be rocking and rolling now. -- The cake is a lie! |

Ok lets try starting this beast again.
Everyones account that was not banned has been enabled, this is over 1.7 million accounts that are now active, and pbc accounts also have been enabled so if your account existed recently and you are not banned you can play.
Solar system security status display's correctly, all systems now at 0.0, concord should not come out too play.
I am also now more severly filtering the connections and will only open more when the cpu is stable, this should prevent another crash.

Server seems to be running smoothly now @ 700 players. We are still increasing the number of users. The server will be left online for the rest of the night, but will go down sometime in the morning Icelandic time. -- The cake is a lie! |

Originally by: Gadon Gallen 5th time guys, 5th time I made it to front and got booted back...Im not really mad I would just like to try this, It happens only once in a blue moon, and Im a paying customer I would like to play this,so if you please, could you help me with the fact my password is wrong?
Please try your old password, this is a mirror from 2 months ago.
The server cap was raised to 2,400 and will remain that way until the server goes down tomorrow.
The que is at 400 connections per minute, so it should not put you past 40 in line now.

Sisi at 1800+ and still holding. Fantastic result in the end, but I am heading off home. Sisi will stay up for as long as it can, and some time in the morning will go down and be reverted to normal. -- The cake is a lie! |

Yea, home time I think. It's 1:30 am and we 'finished' work at 5:00 pm. Still, it's been a good stress test, but now I want a beer! Enjoy it whilst it lasts!

The cluster hit almost 2500 concurrent users at about 2am GMT this morning, about a half hour after I departed for some much needed sleep.
Sisi's status is currently under discussion since we need to decide if we've gathered enough data from this, and can revert to normal testing, or if we should extend the current status. So it could go down quite abruptly once this is decided, or it could last for the rest of the day, there's no way of giving an affirmative answer at this point, so if you have the ability, enjoy it!
We're aware there are problems with the supering script, but considering the goal was to hammer the proxy servers and their role within the cluster, we've accomplished what we set out to do. If we want to fix the problem with the supering script and ensure that all characters are maxed out it would require a downtime and I don't think anyone wants that
So for those that were able to take part, a hearty thankyou. And to those that were either unable to access the server or those that were lacking a supered character, we apologise, but your assistance was still an immense help and so we thankyou too.
