Let's see how many pages we can get this thread before the servers get back online! I'll bet we can get to 200 pages, at least! Come on, EVE Online community - let's make this the longest thread ever! You can do it! I BELIEVE IN YOU.

What about us new players with cerebal accelerators, my character time is ticking away, will we be compensated with SP for those missing hrs, as that is a huge chunk of sp im missing from this downtime?
will we all be compensated in some shape or form due to this?


If you have skills in the queue, you won't be loosing any skill points. CCP will see to that. When you have a game as big and as complex as EvE, things are bound to happen. The last several months (longer than a year in fact), the server had an uptime of 100% (excluding the scheduled downtime course). According to statistics, the longer the success, the more likely there will be a failure. This is that failure.

The server is basically a warehouse filled with racks and racks of computers all interconnected on a network. In other words, the game server is a parallel processing, clustered supercomputer. Each node consists of several computers, with each one probably being a quad processor machine with 16 cores per processor with 128GB ram, and probably one or more of those Nvidia GPU cards which can push out 4 TFlops in single precision floating point math being used as coprocessors. So yes, the server is huge and complicated. Just be patient people. CCP knows what they are doing.

Besides, I think it was a coding error in the patch that screwed everything up.

I called in sick to work for this!!!

really, I couldn't care less about downtime being extended as long as the fix isn't a Band-Aid.

No sp, isk, or item compensations..
