Have a long skill in queue and don't download the patch right away if you don't have to: because it's always nice finding out from someone else that the patch deletes your boot.ini or requires a complete reinstall or any such thing like that.

Also, what is an expansion that's being released on time doing in my Eve Online? It doesn't belong here. Get rid of it, TIA

*lol*

Last week, i've put in a skill that lasted five days.
It would have ended tomorrow night.

Then it hit me ...

Now it's a 15 day skill.

I hope that's enough .............. xD

lol boot.ini

I remember when that happened because i laughed at the XP users who were affected as Vista never had a requirement for boot.ini and neither does windows 7, so it was just the old peeps who got it and i lolled

I am ignorant on the details regarding skill queues and server downtime.
Please tell me - does it mean that if I have a skill in queue when the server goes down for say, 1 hour - and then when server comes back, that 1 hour that the server has been down is as-good as having trained the skill for an hour ? Or when server comes back up, does that mean the one hour never counted towards your skill in queue ?

Very curious to know. Thanks in advance. o/

Write down the current time of the day, on a sheet of paper.
That's your skill queue.

Now, below that, write down the current time plus one hour.
Set your alarm clock to this moment and wait one hour.

The bell rings, the skill is done, your skill queue is now empty.


The server doesn't count seconds, (that would be really stupid)
it just calculates the time-frame and sets an event that gets triggered
at the moment a skill is finished.

That sounds pretty complicated.
The answer to the question is yes, the skill trains even when TQ is offline.

Boot.ini for everyone!

EDIT: It seems as though boot.ini is no longer present on Windows 7. That means nothing can possibly go wrong!

Thanks for the information folks.
Looks like a good long skill is to be scheduled for tomorrow "just in case" P

I wouldnt say so.

However, one "small" incident keeping up for long time. It just shows mental problems of one who keeps it up.

Altho History and repeating of such is quite real, viz. Nationalists and Communists, which comes back to the europe. Seems we forgot.

Altho comparing those two seems quite excessive

...next buy a bushel of lemons, a straw broom, and three toy poodles. It gets really complicated after this. Trust me though, when it's all said and done you will understand perfectly.

Whatever your words have to do with my words.
I already understand it as much as logic dictates how it works.


Btw ... forum alt or rather new?
