I agree with all who find it unfair that the Tranquility server is down for 30 min (minimum) during this timezone's peak gaming time. CCP please look at PLEX credits ( or discounts) for those affected. It is not an accident that the server downtime is scheduled for this region's main gametime (probably least number of subscribers here).

no we mean AU TZ as in Australia

Australia? You guys still exist?? I thought you were overrun by giant spiders or something... Blink


meh ... they were all eaten by the snakes ages ago

Weren't the snakes there to get rid of the bunnies?

snakes, spiders,blue ring octopi, white pointer sharks, box jellyfish, drop bears........... the list goes on (which is why we love euro backpackers, cos they help to feed the wildlife.)





Lies ... Aussie wildlife (including snakes) is cute loveable ... safe with children and make great housepets ....

20.000 active players in eve, but our general discussion thread only has 200 so far, does that mean everyone has 200 alts minimum each ?


Yes. Yes it does.

The thing is they have to do DT in *somebody's* time zone, and Australia's time zone has the smallest playerbase in it. Europe and America are a much bigger player-base, thus it makes more sense to dump the downtime on Australia xD

Also the EVE servers are in England I believe and I assume they're controlled from England, which places the DT at 11-12 in the morning, depending on daylight savings, right in the middle of a UK based work day for them lol.




This is why I think they should run on eg a 31 hour cycle - a nice prime number - bounce it by 7 hours so if it hits you one day it won't hit you the next. This means over a cycle of 24 days you'll have a pattern that repeats. you could also set it up to go slightly out of order to avoid nuking peak time on a weekend. That way no one person is screwed all the time ..... Also I think multiple surgeons general would be happier with this kind of arrangement too.

Greetings all! I have just discovered forums. The level of detail on these rendered drawings are wonderful. These photos exhibit very lifelike and feature specific renditions of players. Kudos to CCP for developing this most excellent resource. I see a myriad of applications for this great utility.

Hope to see you all in game. And glad to put a face to some of your familiar character names.

Is there an ETA for startup, or am I stuck hitting refresh on server status?


You realize that each time anyone hits refresh it delays the server start by 5 seconds right? So stop spamming that button so the server can start!

True, but you get all the benefits of logging on right after: Full belts, respawned sites, and an empty server
