WHAT IF all the skill points was lost and you had to start all over, how many of you would then still play ?



oh man please don't say that. I actually played a game where he lost the saves for his current game and did not have a backup of any older saves. he ended up taking the game offline. number of years later he gave the rights of the game to 1 of the players

Hello,

I am a Nigerian Prince.

Unfortunately due to the political conflict of my country I am unable to access my family's wealth of 1,500,000 A-Grade server hamsters from inside the country.

If you would be so kind as to provide your company's name, server location and credentials to access the building I will immediately ship my 1,500,000 purebred server hamsters to your address, from where I will collect them in the future.

As a mark of gratitude from myself and my family who are wrought with anxiety over this trouble, we will give to you no less than 500,000 of these server hamsters, to do with as you will.

Yours,

Prince Mbutu


Forward this letter to CCP, they may have use for those 500,000 server hamsters.

@CCP

Do you have Norton installed?

If so, uninstall and reboot.

If not, have you tried rebooting?

CCP aint stupid and they do backups before any update.

But if we assume that what you proposed actually happened, then i`ll have a lot of free time on my hands to read all those books I have not read yet. If eve goes down, I wont`t play a thing no more since there is no mmo in existence to replace it anyway.

To be fair, if the downtime is this long it's probably something serious, if a bug corrupted the db state during downtime they'l be able to restore from backup (they probably backup every downtime, I would) but it would take ages to restore.
