Goti Evans	Posted - 2008.10.15 14:24:00 - [61] Yes they do have down time, however because of what they do they also have to run backup servers that mirror everything that the main ones do. something that is a significant (but unavoidable in there instance) cost just incase one of the forward server swallows a fish bone (and loses track of all the money). CCP would be able to do this if they redisinged the game from the ground up and also wanted to pay a lot more money for the sake of an hour or so of nonfunctionalitly. Its not econmicly viable.
Demitria Fernir Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2008.10.15 14:29:00 - [62] CCP won't change downtime unless they move the servers. They aren't moving the servers anytime soon.

And lazynees is not an explanation. I've given one, that you seem to have ignored. Why should the 90% of the playerbase that is currently happy with DT be forced to accept a moving DT? When you've answered that question you can go on to explain what administration and technical services will be disrupted by a continuously changing schedule and what should be done to mitigate those issues. Before starting work on that you might want to consider that some of us have quite extensive experience of providing support/maintennance of databases. We know that it's a bloody stupid idea because we understand a lot of the issues. Here's a starter for you:Why don't you ask your boss (or teachers) if you can start work/school at a different time each day. If they can stop laughing long enough to draw breath and answer you I'll be impressed. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom".

Khemul Zula Amarr Black Plague.	Posted - 2008.10.15 16:22:00 - [73] We could always add an extra hour to the day and move downtime to then. Then they could advertise EVE as being available 24/7.
Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2008.10.15 16:25:00 - [74] Edited by: Andrue on 15/10/2008 16:25:29 It's the Martians I feel sorry about. They can't get access to the cluster at all (and if they could the lag would be awful). At the moment they have to make do with a couple of T1 exploration robots. Those things don't even have afterburners -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom". You have been warned.

Eaon Zlion	Posted - 2008.10.15 19:23:00 - [77] The servers are located in london docklands afaik, so a 11 am local time allows for 6 hours until the 5pm cut off time for getting out, just in case there are any hassles. DT has to happen some time, but why not do it at a time when the fewest people are online ?

Schalac Caldari Apocalypse Reign	Posted - 2008.10.15 20:21:00 - [80] Originally by: Brigsby5987 Why because I'm posting on an internet spaceships forum? I have time, he obviously doesn't. Which is fairly sad considering I work around 80 hours a week. First off no you don't. I love when people say that they work 80 hours a week when in actuality it's probably 48 hours a week. So shut the hell up.

wdwjhdw	Posted - 2008.10.15 21:05:00 - [82] Originally by: Jac Straw 1200GMT - AUS Primetime 1500GMT - EURO East Primetime 1800GMT - EURO West Primetime 0000GMT - US East Coast primetime 0400GMT - US West Cost primetime So, suggest a time that make everyone happy... Finally an intelligent post. Im not sure those times are accurate. moscow (euro east) is +4 hours and sydney is +11 hours, so that is a difference of 7 hours (not 3). Anyway in answer to you, downtime when its primetime somewhere midway between moscow and sydney. This works out to about 2pm GMT, or 2 hours later than current. The other option is downtime when its primetime somewhere in the pacific, which would be about 9am GMT, or 3 hour earlier than current. (This might be a little annoying for some late night people in US). Even 10 am would be ok. Daylight saving does tend to mess things up a bit, because it shifts the relative time between north and south hemispheres by 2 hours. I still think 2pm would work.

Guess when the least amount of people are on Going by that it seems the least amount of people are online between 11 and 12 GMT. It looks like that is a pretty steady trend for the last year.
Dikanal	Posted - 2008.10.15 22:35:00 - [84] Originally by: Veldya Originally by: CCP Atropos The company does it because it suits our working needs; no one wants to get out of bed every day at midnight, to work on the servers. I do it because the Aussies have all the beautiful women and sunshine that, as an Englishman, I never had growing up. I am just curious why they need to go down at all other than for patches. Banks have significantly larger databases and they don't shut down their ATMs to back up or perform maintenance. Is it just poor design? Cash machines do have short downtimes.
Nalar Marnith Minmatar SniggWaffe	Posted - 2008.10.15 23:04:00 - [85] Yeah, DT is annoying (extended downtime sucks balls), but whatever mate. It's really not that big a deal. I think CCP needs to move the USA and Europe so that there are more people on for us Aussies. It's about as likely to happen.
Gonada Priory Of The Lemon	Posted - 2008.10.15 23:06:00 - [86] lol you aussies , not one full brain amongst you. then again, thats bout what we figured, you know, you being a prision colony and missfit shipping zone for so many years. ill type slowly for you.... you ready ? the people who work on the servers and game have times that are agreeable to them, not you, and everyone just has to live with it. Please, jump into traffic

I dunno about the sunshine and women but any bar in London will do for finding an Australian Also, for those seeking to move the DT won't you please think of Guam. Not brought to you by the interweb coalition of peoples in Guam although they probably have a point edit....ts*** spelling again for somebody based in the UK i do a poor job of advertising the language edit 2....it was 3 k's in a row....doh :\ -------------------------------------------------- 'people will always be tempted to wipe their feet on anything with 'welcome' written on it.'
