So... cluster shutdown is 1 second away, and has been for a good 5 minutes or so now, here we are sitting in local chatting away in Autaris.

I always wondered what secrets occured during downtime. I'm a tad dissapointed :(

Anyone else still floating in the non-downtime downtime?

Ive taken the opportunity to get through a dangerous losec area with expensive goods, cos I know pirates would be distracted with this incredible phenomenon.

That's good keep up the cover. Spill no secrets about what happens during downtime.

That's right folks nothing to see here. Move along.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

"Dear players, the servers will be closing immediately for an emergency reboot at 11:11. If at all possible, please make sure your characters are out of harm's way. See you again in 20 minutes!"

Warning shouldn't really be necessary at this point for a shutdown...

And at the 10 minute mark it finally goes offline. Nice job CCP!

I'm curious as to why it was left open for that long?

Clearly the hamsters are in such a cheerful mood that they just continued running for the pure joy of it!

With some good hamster whispering we were able to convince them to take at least a little break so that they are ready for the upcoming fireworks!
