Jukhta Mein Domini Umbrus R.U.R.	Posted - 2008.12.03 14:25:00 - [31] Are europeans the only people who play Eve? The downtime should be when global traffic is lowest.
CrayC Gallente CrayC Inc.	Posted - 2008.12.03 15:02:00 - [32] Originally by: Jukhta Mein Are europeans the only people who play Eve? The downtime should be when global traffic is lowest. If you were responsible for the downtime maintenance, would you crawl out of bed at 3am local time, so you could work while everyone was sleeping? Or would you prefer to do it during normal workhours?

But work sometimes isn't defined by personal preferences but by satisfying a customer base amongst other things.
SUAO Hazardous Flame	Posted - 2008.12.03 15:37:00 - [34] Originally by: Crya Magna He, the average age of players is like 37 years of Eve. Which leads to: probably people with jobs and family. Which leads to: smart people. They have laptops. Which leads to: during lunchtime is the best time to game one hour. Which leads to: change downtime to USA lunchtime or something! Changing skill training is hard enough as a new player with all the 2h skills without losing lunchtime to do it in! Thx! Some of us can't play eve at work, for a whole bunch of reasons. And some of us also EATS during lunch, and only have 30min lunch, etc etc etc... So NO! Fine as is... Also, is there a point to this? Or did you just read my sig?

An Anarchyyt Gallente Battlestars GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.03 15:56:00 - [36] As someone who lives in EST, and can only play from 6am-8am. I DEMAND that you change your downtime to something that suits me. I am a very important person. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person
GamerOS Dutch East Empire Company	Posted - 2008.12.03 21:41:00 - [37] Why no downtime during lunchtime in the middle of the Atlantic? Like some sailor will complain about the downtime there.
Becq Starforged Minmatar Ship Construction Services Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2008.12.03 22:21:00 - [38] Originally by: Crya Magna Which leads to: change downtime to USA lunchtime or something! Which leads to: downtime is in the middle of the evening for Europeans? Is that really what you want? I think the answer is clear. If DT for an internet spaceships game is inconveniently timed so that you are unable to play during your breaks at work, then simply move to another timezone where the timing works better for you! Well, either that or quit your job, since it detracts from playtime dontchaknow. -- Becq Starforged Ushra'Khan The Flame of Freedom Burns On!
Kaluu	Posted - 2008.12.04 02:12:00 - [39] Try playing from Australia and having your down time every night @ 10:00 PM Prime time!!!!!!!! Im on my 4th day having to restart my level 4 mission every night and not getting it down in time. In other words running mission solo on this side of the world is impossible due to DT and having them reset.

Tobias Sjodin Ore Mongers Black Hand.	Posted - 2008.12.04 03:55:00 - [41] A round of applause for this outstanding hymn to mediocrity.
Hitomi Nakatani Caldari	Posted - 2008.12.04 03:56:00 - [42] Originally by: Jukhta Mein Are europeans the only people who play Eve? The downtime should be when global traffic is lowest. It is. Notice the player dropoff hours before each downtime. They don't reboot at 1100 GMT since it's a good time for lunch, they do it since that's when the least amount of players are on.

Eve-Offline Server Status Coldfront Server Status DT has had the same timeslot for years. Many people are logging of because they don't have enough time to for example run another mision. Saying it is the natural low spot is impossible without running for a while with DT in another slot. Originally by: Signature Everybody has a photographic memory, some people just don't have film.

The downtime should be when global traffic is lowest. If you were responsible for the downtime maintenance, would you crawl out of bed at 3am local time, so you could work while everyone was sleeping? Or would you prefer to do it during normal workhours? When you run a service offering 23/7 avaliability... You work when you are required, not when youd prefer. As for crawling out of bed at 3am... Common place when working in IT. More so when working for an ISP/NSP. Originally by: CCP Oveur I'm very sorry w0rmy, I beg your forgiveness. Originally by: Dianabolic I was never sworn to secrecy, w0rmy, sorry to dissappoint you.

You mean like the information gathered about play times while running with no DT? Like I was for a long time before DT came along. But you knew that, right?

Estel Arador Minmatar	Posted - 2008.12.04 21:01:00 - [47] The solution is of course to get 3 downtimes a day, one European prime time, one American prime time, and one Far East prime time. If timed correctly, they'll also coincide with lunchtimes in one of the other timezones. This way, everyone is equally hindered by downtime. FREE! jumpclone service
AccesiViale Gallente Vox de Lucis	Posted - 2008.12.04 21:16:00 - [48] DT works out perfect for me in Chicago. It serves as a notice that i should have gone to bed hours ago but it does suck that it conflicts with prime time elsewear. I would agree with some of the previous posts that with advances in server technology set in place and this so called "need for speed" initiative the speed of DT should be examined. Surely some reduction in total DT can be achieved with the new hardware, current, and future software optimizations. The sky was blue but there was no god.

Common place when working in IT. More so when working for an ISP/NSP. Rrrright. Hard enough to find even incompetent datacenter engineers these days, let alone smart ones willing to work at night and deal with all the health and social issues caused by it. unless you pay them with gold-plated ferrari's filled (including the trunk) with naked 1k/hour+ callgirls. I know, we recently tried to find two for a position that might require occasional nightwork.

Easy solution, take your lunch brake at a different time. Problem solved.

I know, we recently tried to find two for a position that might require occasional nightwork. i actually prefer the night, its much more peaceful. as ofr the daily downtime, i live in new zealand, and the downtime starts at midnight for me, so usually i go to bed, unless i need to switch skills after downtime and forgot to do it before. i like it where it is, cause it forces me to go to bed
