Keep up the good work!

Also, you growling pilots can say "I was there, for the big outage of Nov'2012".

For the record, RvB asked for CCP's permission before we did our 10,000 rifter thing, and they said it would be ok and supposedly had the server reinforced for it. Obviously it was not reinforced enough.

This is looking to be a potential hardware issue. More updates soon as we learn more. Sorry for the current lack of pew pew!


Please eleborate.

How on earth would a single isolated hardware issue, be a problem to your servers? I would expect your systems to be redundant??


Even the most redundant systems have there moment's. You can never make something 100% solid. Can only try your best to achieve. This is pretty damn rare... Doesn't happen like this every year...



This.

100% uptime HA costs HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars, plus full hardware replacement in multiple datacenters at regular intervals + running a backup internet. For $200/month@400K players, it MIGHT be doable.

**** happens. Move on with your life and come back tomorrow. The world did not end.

100% uptime is like the speed of light, the closer you get to it, the harder it becomes 99.999% up-time is a ton harder than 99.99 up-time, and 100%? you have to never have any downtime ever, til the end of time, and thats... a lofty goal.

Though I don't think anyone here is expecting a 100% up-time, things do happen after all. Though if you're expecting 99.8 up-time and getting 99.5, I guess that's 0.3 of disappointment there.

So it's true that blob pvp will be the death of eve?

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Two concepts:
Co Location
Instant Failover

I can understand downtime for the game server. But the webserver should be easily failover able

We've yet to do a full post mortem internally about the details. I'd probably cause some sort of real world downtime if I tried to explain the technical details with my insights, but we'll give you more details later.

imagine a clock of death, but instead of counting down to your death, it counts up to however many skillpoints you've lost (or well, not earned I guess)

Ah, that's not helping much is it?
