You fools. They probably use UNIX timestamps.

The real issues will appear in year 2038 heheGǪ

your comedy is lost on me and my lack of unix\linux knowledge

create alt on 29th
Sub for a year
Hope it glitches the server and you get 4 years of playtime instead \o/

But then you have birthday only once every 4 years.

It doesn't matter, the world ends at the end of this year

create your alts on 29th to melt ccps servers.

I bet you bought all the media nonsense about Y2K too didn't you?

You must not be very bright. The poster is not indicating anything apocryphal (if you can even understand that word).

And you obviously took it seriously by your post (troll or not).

If Troll you must, then at least have the dignity to Troll well.....or inventively at least.

Not possible. McFly travelled to 2015 in his DeLorean.

But a 3D remake of Jaws is unfortunately likely.

The implications of this on TiDi and the skill queue are immense....

And how is that supposed to happen?

Y2K wasnt apocryphal per se, it was fear over a computer glitch, so quoted poster isn't too far off in his analogy.

Only 3 years left for designing and mass selling flying cars and hoverboards.

As in immensely none?

Data created on leap years only exists during leap years. Basics of ACID, otherwise we'd create a continuum paradox and that never leads to anything other than annoying cliffhangers and such.

So you'd only melt our servers on leap years that are not actually leap years. That cannot happen unless you've already created the paradox at which point CCP is no longer culpable per the EULA.

Windows Server 2008 Core R2 SP1 actually.

hahaha, Explorer has no clue what the post he replied to is talking about

Windows Server 2008 Core R2 SP1 actually.

That explains why it needs daily downtime.

How about a character named "reboot -f" ?

/sigh... we are not using the 32 bit signed integer data type time_t.

Makes me wonder if somebody has tried a "; drop table CharData;" type character name

We will melt these CCP server. Lets get 50.000 more friends playing EVE... that will teach em

also delete boot.ini erryday

Hey, we only did that once! (Not that it was possible to delete it again once we had deleted it the first time...)

Lies, there are plenty of new computers around to ruin now!

I wonder if CCP is secretly proud, that in addition to having one of the most successful MMOs ever - they also have some of the most impressive c**k-ups in the games industry ever.

If you're going to do it, do it well.

Well I for one am not so secretly proud of the various internal records I hold.

On the 29th I expect to see space dragons... that fly backwards.

@CCP Explorer,

Have you?

one year = 12x 30 days according to CCP.

This thread is so full of epic win that I am seriously wondering if CCP have something up their sleeve for 29th of February.
Perhaps an emergency reboot!?
Please, yes, please please please!
