I kinda like the way we ozzies get to do PI and delivery runs into low and null straight after downtimes before anyone gets on without logging in at some crazy hour :D


You lucky bastards, i had to quit my job to be able to do that...

I don't know... after their performance this year, I think it might be better if we charged the English cricket team with treason against the crown, and have them shipped off to some sort of prison island...

I think that was the implication, maybe while they are there they can learn how to f*cking play cricket too, Dont get me wrong, Im Scottish and was hoping England would lose but the ashes this year were just embarrassing.

For those who don't read Australian, here is the translation:

Apologies, but we're not able to do so.

While we appreciate the fact that a 11am UTC downtime for our Australian players may be inconvenient, this is the best time for CCP to carry out maintenance, as it's falls right in the middle of our workday and means that if there are issues we can respond quickly to to take care of them.

No thanks. DT is at 3 am for me and so gives the perfect excuse to log off before I've been up all damn night.

Falcon, you have a typo there....

For anyone who can't read upsidedown (why the hell not?!):

Apologies, but we're not able to do so.

While we appreciate the fact that a 2am UTC downtime for our Australian players may be inconvenient, this is the best time for CCP to carry out maintainance, as it falls right in the middle of your workday and means that if there are issues we can respond quickly to take care of them.


Edit: Sorry, didn't read the second page, someone obviously beat me to it. :P

Some of us creative Australians use downtime as an advantage.
By all means work towards shortening it, but please don't move it or lose it.
