From the EULA:

"While CCP attempts to have the System available at most times, CCP does not guarantee that the System will always be available, or that the System will not become unavailable during Game play. The System may become unavailable for a number of reasons, including without limitation during the performance of maintenance to the System, for the implementation of new software, for emergency situations and due to equipment or telecommunications failures."

Additionally, from an announcement here on GD:

"As Inferno 1.3 introduces a first massive preparation of the EVE Online Universe for DUST 514 and since we are doing something that no one has ever done before, we expect to encounter eventually some unexpected issues during the deployment. Please be prepared for deployment updates and delays in the schedule."

But like ryev said, at least the forums are still up. That's a good thing, right? RIGHT?

Don't forget boot.ini.

I also remember when daily downtimes were slated for an hour and often ended up being several hours.

I remember...

CCP?

Is it possible to get EVE 2.0?

Like rewrite total engine? Redo all ships from scratch?


EVE totally needs new TACTICAL and COMBAT mechanics.

This post sums up why the 'best' work with DCM inc.

I miss the days when we had 12 hours downtime extensions and more ... not Big smile The previous updates and patches went pretty smooth without much, if at all, delay from the schedule.

While I understand how annoying it can be to see downtime extension after downtime extension, I would like to mention that in this special case we are doing something that wasn't done before and especially not on such a massive scale: connecting two completely different systems on one massive supercomputer cluster.

Our developers covered as many pitfalls as possible before the deployment, but we fully expected to possibly run into some unexpected issues. This is something we messaged before and we would like to ask you again for some more patience and understanding from your side - thank you!

In the meanwhile you might want to read our latest devblogs, for example Look who's talking or The Retribution of Team Super Friends. I could also recommend our latest video Introducing EVE Online: Retribution.

I've played alot of MMO's since everquest one launched and every one of them has had patches that far exceeded the expected time, its the nature of the beast and nothing to get excited about.

That'd be all well and good if this was a rare occurence. Your made up estimations should never be taken seriously by people, that's something I learned. The last couple of hours I've been refreshing the page with the updates knowing it will keep getting extended. Maybe you should stop giving such precise estimates and leave it to "this afternoon" or "before 1800 " as an example.
