Disk failure apparently. I like CCP's inability to perform a hardware update without having a weeks worth of emergency reboots.

Methinks CCP should invest in more skilled Datacenter staff rather than the server monkeys they have now.

Excellent communication from CCP :)
I like they improving rapidly comparing to a few months ago. That causes huge boost of confidence in CCP.

Don't let them fly safe!

Reimbursement policy states

Potential or theoretical gain is not eligible for reimbursement. Only assets lost when already in possession of the player are eligible for reimbursement.

Does this mean the hulk I might have bought to mine the ABC's I might have found might not be reimbursed. Damn

Less then 5 hrs left on pos fuel, check.
Person to blame found, check.
Probing like a mutherF to find a 5 jump path with a critical in the middle leading in, check.
jumping into lowsec with fuel, warp to entry ... not warping, strange... warp again... nope. check.

The early downtime and delayed start up was most likely related to the emergency downtime we just experienced. Everything should be in order now and we are continuing to monitor TQ for any issues.

Well, I just had some extra time to do RL stuff instead of staying stuck like a nerd in front of my pc raging after you because servers were down.

It's getting cold by here but that ride out was awesome and refreshing. Thx

PS: send me THA mug ! -you know the one with big tities and tatoo "Eve On Line" on the right one and "This is real" on the left one.

Please?

Shoulda fueled the pos when you got your 24 hour notice... or, learn to time your pos's and fuel them before you get warnings.

you do know that harddrives that get extensive use can just up and fail right?

of course you don't know that, because you're a bleeding jackass.

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

you know the concept of RAID?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
