CCP, you need to upgrade to faction hamsters immediately.
Here is the problem : Regular Hamster
Now note the Faction Green Hamster system : Faction Hamsters Note how the hamsters in the faction system are able to take turns running full speed, keeping full power while not crashing the system.
Please upgrade as soon as possible. Think of the hamsters...

+1 for hamster system upgrade. CCP Its unacceptable, 10 years in and you're still using regular T1 hamsters.

Tha'ts not the problem. The problem is CCP codes using Python. Every now and then a python gets out and eats a hamster.

That is very odd, our neighborhood's power went out for about 30 minutes this morning at about 0400 CST. A plane was going overhead when it happened and all I could think of was the invasion scene in Red Dawn!

By the looks of this, 1 hour till issue presumably fixed, this thread will be on over 40 pages. In 5 mins of browsing, it already jumped from 22 to 23 pages. (Correction: 24 pages... damn you guys are fast!)

time to have a beer and watch some TV.

Hello CCP,

Dose TQ Cluster not sit on a UPS of at least 20 kVA for back up?
Or something capable of holding load for ~2 hours...

Hope things get rolling soon.


Best regards,

Asking for skillpoints to compensate for downtime? We're lucky they even explain why compared to some companies!:

Besides...You should always have a skill training therefore should be gaining skillpoints during downtime anyway ;)

Due to power issues that caused the server to experience problems, we require an emergency restart of the server to set things right. TQ went down at 14:50 UTC and came back up at 15:31.

However, it is again experiencing significant issues so another emergency reboot of TQ is necessary. We expect the downtime to last 30 minutes.

We will update this thread as we have more information.

UPDATE 16:30 UTC: After investigating, our operations team has determined that the cause of the issue is hardware related. We must extend the emergency downtime by one and a half hour, to 18:00 UTC due to this.


Please do not compensate us. The fact that you care enough to fix something is compensation enough. Plenty of MMO, browser game, and FB app developers just let their games stay glitchy and unplayable, and zero damns are given whilst players jump ship in droves.
CCP doesn't do that. CCP attacks the problem and keeps us informed. That is all the compensation we need. The Gimmie-Gimmies aren't important.... they will eventually ragequit, anyway. The sooner the better. Replace them with awesome noobs that don't mind PvP.


Please remind me about how Eve is a facebook/browser game.



Cherry-pickers that don't read and comprehend the entire post before attempting to rebut/insult/discredit the person they are replying to, are dumb and should feel bad, forever.

Nowhere in that post did I say EVE was a browsergame or a FB app. Everyone knows EVE is spreadsheets with a GUI.


This.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a spreadsheet, though.... half spreadsheet. I have two monitors and a single account, so I play the game across both of them. Half of it's spreadsheet, half of it is GUI, one on each monitor. (The left one is a 32", the right a 24".

Also, I'm not going to ask CCP not to compensate anyone, I'm just going to say I don't need it. Why? Because I'm a free-thinking human being who can find something else to do with his time for a few hours. Since I'm also an insomniac, it's 3 am in the morning where I live and I share a house, everyone else is sleeping, so my options don't include blasting loud music while I clean my house unfortunately... but I have a decent enough collection of games on PC, PS3 and 360 that I'm not found wonting for entertainment.
