CCP, you need to upgrade to faction hamsters immediately.
Here is the problem : Regular Hamster
Now note the Faction Green Hamster system : Faction Hamsters Note how the hamsters in the faction system are able to take turns running full speed, keeping full power while not crashing the system.
Please upgrade as soon as possible. Think of the hamsters...

Hour Three

Well past the second hour now, I find my breathing is hard, rasping, it's difficult to get a full breathe. My palms are sweaty and hands are shaking. I look in the mirror and don't recognize myself, while I wonder where this stack of empty pizza boxes came from.

I fear the withdrawal will become worse, and for the first time, I consider jumping out of the airlock, if I could just find it.

Tranquility is currently down for emergency maintenance. It is estimated to come back up at 18:00 UTC.

Due to power issues that caused the server to experience problems earlier today, we did an emergency restart of the server to set things right. TQ went down at 14:50 UTC and came back up at 15:31 UTC.

However, it is again experiencing significant issues so another emergency reboot of TQ is necessary. We expect the downtime to last until 18:00 UTC.

We will update this thread as we have more information.

UPDATE 16:30 UTC: After investigating, our operations team has determined that the cause of the issue is hardware related. We must extend the emergency downtime by one and a half hour, to 18:00 UTC due to this.



"The problem seems to be Hardware related" I'm sure they meant to say Hamster related.

I demand a Hamster's capsuleer race for this and the future inconvenience.

The HAMSTER EMPIRE... Wow... That sounds really great.

CCP made real time into Time Dilation. That is real programming!

Actually CCP Gargant admitted to eating the Hamsters that powered the main part of Eve......


Wouldn't the main servers need guinea pigs for a bit more grunt?

Hello CCP,

Dose TQ Cluster not sit on a UPS of at least 20 kVA for back up?
Or something capable of holding load for ~2 hours...

Hope things get rolling soon.


Best regards,

Luckily I'm stuck in the office with nothing better to do than read nerd rampage :)


I regularly bake pies, muffins, breads, cook various dishes on the stove top/over a fire.
I live with my mom at ~27 years of age.
I feed my two cats regularly as well as change their water. I also currently take care of two geese and their brood of 6 goslings that hatched about a week and a half ago.

The sun is setting, I've just gotten home from shopping, have spent half the day outside of my 37c loft room to avoid the heat rather than wasting electricity on using the aircon, and instead spent that time doing work in the comparatively cool garden.

Tomorrow, my mom and I are visiting my dying Alzheimer afflicted grandmother, which involves several hours of driving back and forth in what's bound to be extremely hot and humid weather.

I'd have appreciated being able to play some EVE right about now, though

A stanger was just giving me 100 billion ISK when the servers crashed. I expect to be reimbursed by CCP. All I had to do was send him 50 billion ISK and he said he'd double my money. I was just sitting there in Jita local, and they guy offered - totally too sweet a deal to pass up. When I agreed in local, like 100 more people offered, and I accepted. Man, people in EVE are soooo nice!!! Lol

It's been two hours.... and you didn't already have an updated 24hr+ skill queue?

Sorry, but that is definitely funny.
