I was so laughing at this, when I checked the forums from my iphone at work.

What ever made you think they would push back downtime because people were playing when the downtime normally occurs?

Oh, and about that with the WoW and servers being up all the time. Really not even close to comparable. That's like what, 100 to 1000 max players per server, on common hardware, with limited coding that is easily optimized these days. What is complicated about WoW? The whole game could be played with a deck of cards and a 6 sided dice.

Yup

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"

WoW has a 8 hour DT every week. I don't really know what you are talking about.

CCP should delay DT till everybody is docked and typed "ready" in local

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

All kidding aside, it was mentioned that ccp was working hard at eliminating DT all together. No more down time

Sounds reasonable. I support this idea.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Excuse me Sir, as a professional painter I am now going to paint a portrait of you.

Unfortunately I have already painted another portrait today of the OP using my last brush.

I really hope that you are not in anyway inconvenienced if I use said same brush to paint yours.

I have often noticed that CCP do not plan the D/T to match my coffee breaks.

I demand that they consult me to make sure D/T is convenient for my coffee breaks.

This is not a signature.
