Scoze	Posted - 2007.12.07 00:45:00 - [1] To whom it may concern at CCP, I am making a request for compensation equal to 3 months free game time for those affected by what can only be called a monumental screw-up on your part. I am a professional photographer, and like many other professionals that play this game your actions put our valuable data at great risk. In my case, you actions bricked the raid array that is my photography archive. luckily I was able to rebuild the array, a process that took the better part of five hours of coding, but this does not mean that CCP is off the hook. These actions are simply unacceptable, and compensation will be exacted. At no point did any of us give you permission to edit or delete system files necessary for the operation of our operating systems. Your gaff in issuing a console command of "delete /boot.ini" during the update process shows not only sloppy and negligent programing but also a fundamental lack of testing a deployment in all its forms prior to it going live on one of your servers. It has undermined the trust of the paying player community and will cause great damage to you public image if immediate action is not taken to make this situation right. Said actions MUST go far beyond simply offering a hotfix to those affected. I can not be the only person strongly thinking about canceling my account at the moment and the only reason I have not is because I want to see what actions you take to correct this problem. Signed, Riaz S. Mesbah ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All those affected by this Error who would like compensation simply reply to this thread with /signed as the text in the message field other messages will be deleted.

That's pretty impressive. Too bad for your argument your whole array's file architecture was still completely in tact and no data was actually compromised. Even if it were nuked you CCP forgoes all liability in the EULA.

Esperine	Posted - 2007.12.07 00:54:00 - [12] Originally by: Scoze In my case, you actions bricked the raid array that is my photography archive. Well your daft for thinking a raid array will protect your data. Backing up on another source should of been simple if the images are that important. Yes CCP screwed up, but you take that risk by installing the software...

It are the general rules. You accept them, they are 100% usefull in court. Unless its something like: EULA: To play this game you have to strip naked on nation telly. That will not work in court. edit: im not saying all parts are usefull, but there are a lot of things you say 'yes' to before installing software, which is a normal thing. _________________________________________________ Breetime A killmail!11!1 omgrawr: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Originally by: Scoze I am making a request for compensation equal to 3 months free game time for those affected by what can only be called a monumental screw-up on your part. Completely arbitrary figure with no basis on the damage done. Originally by: Scoze I am a professional photographer, and like many other professionals that play this game my own incompetence put my valuable data at great risk. I fixed this for you. No data was put at risk by CCP. Originally by: Scoze In my case, you actions bricked the raid array that is my photography archive. luckily I was able to rebuild the array This is actually a contradiction, since 'bricked' means completely unrecoverable, i.e. as useful as an electronics device as a brick is. Nice work. Originally by: Scoze and compensation will be exacted. Ha ha, that'll be the day. Originally by: Scoze At no point did any of us give you permission to edit or delete system files necessary for the operation of our operating systems. You mean you didn't run the updater as an admin on your machine? I bet you did... Originally by: Scoze Your gaff in issuing a console command of "delete /boot.ini" during the update process shows not only sloppy and negligent programing It shows a one character typo. Originally by: Scoze but also a fundamental lack of testing a deployment in all its forms prior to it going live on one of your servers. They test the game. Not noticing that it can kill the OS sometimes is hardly a huge crime. Originally by: Scoze It has undermined the trust of the paying player community and will cause great damage to you public image if immediate action is not taken to make this situation right. Since as soon as they realised what was going on they were practically advertising on TV "we **** up, here's how to fix it", they took great action and my confidence in them has been boosted by their prompt and honest handling of the issue. I won't speak for anyone else because, like you, I can't. Originally by:** Scoze Said actions MUST go far beyond simply offering a hotfix to those affected. I can not be the only person strongly thinking about canceling my account at the moment and the only reason I have not is because I want to see what actions you take to correct this problem. No, people are constantly thinking about canceling accounts, usually for stupid reasons. - I wish I was a three foot female doll with a watering can and heterochromatic eyes.

Quoted to point out that according to the agreement that everyone Should have read, or scrolled through and pretended to read, CCP is hardly obliged to even let you log in. Trying to get huffy and demand free stuff because Some people had Some problems on Some computers is silly and childish.

MITSUK0	Posted - 2007.12.07 01:01:00 - [18] I'm thinking of canceling my last "log in to change skills account" over this purely because CCP are noobs for letting this happen (I wasn't even affected). Seriously, the public is stupid, anyone who has released commercial code knows this. You cant let things like this slip through your coding procedures and your bug testing. YOU CAN NOT. Whats next? format c: Because I'll bet my ass thats what some people have ended up doing.
Kazuma Saruwatari	Posted - 2007.12.07 01:01:00 - [19] If CCP didnt do anything, it'll be wrong, on the other extreme end of the scale. Its like saying "no we didnt f__k up" when they obviously had. Either way, dammed if they did, dammed if the didnt. - Odd Pod Out, a blog of EVE Online

Mesbah ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All those affected by this Error who would like compensation simply reply to this thread with /signed as the text in the message field other messages will be deleted. 1) Your RAID config is flawed if its the same for boot/OS and your `important` data 2) 5 hours to copy over a corrupt boot.ini does not compute 3) You gave windows permision to do this and bestowed that upon the application. 4) You realy should dual boot - games and work are seperate - mix them at your own risk. 5) Education is never free - be it time or money. You know more now than you did before. All that said it was a big bad mistake and you should adress this to CCP personaly and not vent on forums if you seriously want to have this looked at. Forums <> class action <> small claims court. That said, I'd go with friendly complaint to them. Then go from there. Though, legaly they hold all the cards. Personaly you realy realy need to look at your system setup. I would never advocate having programs and main OS on same partition and data should be on its own disc's. Oh and the golden rule which I'm pretty sure you know and practice - backup dont ****up. But in summary - you will only wind yourself up more adressing said issue here instead of a petition or direct complaint to CCP.

If i did reboot, i would still be offline, because i dont have a floppy drive, and with out a floppy drive it is hard to install raid drivers so my windows cd would work. **** off.

I stopped reading right there. Your data was never at risk. Even if you weren't able to restore boot.ini file (which is a 3 minute job at the most) and had to reinstall windows from scratch, your data would still not be at risk (unless you are stupid enough to save stuff on desktop). And any "professional" would have backups of his work. Bricked array? Just cause you stupidly decided to mess with your array, instead of fixing the boot.ini issue, doesn't make that CCP's fault. CCP's fault was deleting the boot.ini, which is an easily recoverable problem. 5 hours coding? on a RAID? I can guarantee you did not write a single line of code . Looks like you don't understand what coding is even == Above comments are my personal views Oveur >Local shouldn't be a tactical tool, it's for chat

Consider this a free warning about what would could happen to your data (ever heard of hard drive failure?), separate it from your recreational computer and finally back it up regularly! Not to mention, I'm running on a RAID array here, and didn't have to rebuilt my array. Sounds to me like you don't know wtf you're doing, on top of all of your other mistakes.

Actually, if you think about it, the software you download is free for anyone to download, it's the connection to their server to play the game that you pay for. So why does installing free software that unfortunately in this case has a bug, give you the right to sue for 'losses' that don't result from anything you've paid for?

We own nothing wrt to the game, and we ourselves are the only ones responsible for our machines. ----- TANSTAAFL Originally by: Psycho John Petrucci If there's any point where you feel it's too difficult, then just stop.

They've flodded the game with messages in the hope of catching anyone left who may be able to prevent said issue. They've sent emails to everyone to try and prevent the issue too. They're not locking the stupid number of repeat threads which they could quite justifiably do on the subject (at the time of posting this, anyway). What more do you want? A written apology signed in the blood of the employee who made the error? Poor bugger must be feeling awful right now, as are the rest of them I expect, despite the fact that the new content rules for the most part.

Zekarus Caldari MAIDS Antesignani Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.07 02:10:00 - [54] As one of my directors put it. Fun fact : CCP didn't delete your data. YOU did. And you people have money to invest in shiny SM3.0 graphic cards, since they're so "cheap", but can't even invest in cheaper external hard disks which many "experts" recommend? "Professionals" who use computer to make a living not backing up their data and wanting to be compensated for their incompetence? GG. That's so epic I shall sig it. -------- MAIDS. Now with black, frilly uniforms. New graphic cards are cheap? Upgrade? Lost stuff with Premium? I invested in external drive. Glad some people has priorities right.

StillGrey Boss	Posted - 2007.12.07 03:32:00 - [57] Your a "professional" photographer, and you didn't have backups of your work? Your actions put your own precious data at risk. You are gaming using a machine vital to your livelihood, without any backups? Far worse things can happen than a boot.ini file going missing. Yup CCP screwed up big time, but they are not responsible for the fact you are poor on ensuring the security of your own highly precious data. Its a figgen computer game for gods sakes, do you understand how silly you look by saying you let a computer game patch jepordise your valuable professional data?
