Unscheduled downtime

So once again I get home on a Friday anticipating a long weekend exploring the new features and/or learning how to live with them, or disable them, and what do you know....downtime. Perfect timing to a 'T'.

I suppose we should be grateful. After previous patches the production servers became unstable almost immediately the patch was deployed. We're never told exactly what causes it, but its implied that the shutdown was due to a "database issue", as this one inevitably will be, thus exonerating the patch.

Back in the days end-user PCs were prevented from booting-up for a few days by wayward client-side patching. That gave CCP time to fix the worst of the, cough, "database issues", before anybody could even get their PC working again.

Update: This time it's described as a network issue. How quaint.

I suppose there's nothing better to do than forum troll while the servers are being adjusted.

Adjusted?


I never heard a reboot called that before.

When I logged in this morning, the server said 7 people were online. Obviously incorrect, but maybe this is part of the problem.

On a Friday evening? Maybe better to try pouring some beer into it. Or into ourselves instead.
