Dude.

3rd day of my trial I decide to fork out money for a sub and then on the 4th day this happens.

Cudos for the updates though.

Does this happen often?


Not very often no, but when it does happen, it is usually several hours.

I am stunned at the level of entitlement expressed in this thread.

Sometimes things go wrong with complex IT systems, especially when changes get made. Most updates of late have gone pretty smoothly and most downtimes have been minutes long.

So enough with the bitching already. Go outside, kick a ball around, say hello to your wife/boyfriend/husband/girlfriend/kids/dog...


I have a cat.

You monster.

Is this the real life, is it just fantas-Eve.
Caught in a down time, no escape from reality.

Open your eyes, look to the devs and see.
They're just some poor guys, don't need no sympathy.
Because the server's up, server's down.
(Server's up, server's down)
Anyway the devs go, doesn't really matter to me, to me.

Fozzie, just killed the game.
Put an update to its head,
Pulled the trigger, now it's dead.
Fozzie, sov had just begun,
but now updates take all day.

Fozzie, ooh,
didn't mean to make Eve die.
If it's not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on, as if you're going to get free isk.

As some one who also works for the IT Department I know how ****** up the day can be if a system is faulted and you have customers are calling /writing every single minute. I'm pretty sure the IT is working on the highest priority to resolve this soon.

So Boys and Girls from IT keep going.

My Capsule isn't working today. Have to assign a few slaves to work on it I suppose.

Hey guys,

As you’re all aware, Tranquility is still offline after today’s scheduled daily downtime.

This is due to an issue with a code deployment today while patching for a few fixes in EVE Online. The issue caused the cluster to fail to start up correctly, and as such, Tranquility is currently unavailable for play for both EVE and DUST.

Our operations and development team are working on this issue as we speak, and we’re hoping to have Tranquility back online for you guys as soon as possible.

Right now, we don’t have an ETA for when the cluster will be back online and accepting connections, but we’ll keep you updated in this thread.

Cheers,

- F

I was going to respond in a different manner.. However, I have decided to write a serious comment about our gameplay experience and this downtime in accordance to this page that the game sent us to. I wake up every morning, take a poop and think about how many kills I'm going to get, who I'm going to scam, and how many tears I will create throughout the day. After said poop, I spark up a spliff or a bowl and start smoking (don't judge me).

I start listening to music, usually Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber to get get all prepared and ready for my day on eve. After I sit my fat ass on my computer chair which is kinda hard for me to fit because as I said I am fat; and I turn eve on. What do I see, my login screen where it asks me to input my password (so annoying) and then of course the UGLYEST button in ANY game in the UNIVERSES. THE @#(*$ PLAY BUTTON. LIKE GOSH could you have made it ANY MORE UGLY? REALLY?

Anyways, I digress; I click on the mentioned UGLY ASS BUTTON and wait for my characters screen to load and then, BAM!!!! I see a message telling me that I can't connect to the server?????????????? LIKE WTF???????????? So I go to my go-to site to test my internet (Porn hub/Midget section) and I can see all the midgets doing it and getting at it. OBVIOUSLY I HAS INTERNUTS.

What could be this HORRENDOUS ERROR?? So, I go back to the UGLY BLUE BUTTON & ANNOYING PASSWORD page and I click on that HORRIBLE button again. Seconds later I get THE SAME MESSSAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEEE LIKe REALLY???????? You can't put another message????

Something along the lines of

" We're sorry you are seeing this message oh' god of eve & universes. Someone forgot to fuel our poses and we are trying to fix it so you can come create more tears. Please don't bother to push the UGLY ASS BLUE BUTTON because it won't work. As a token of appreciation here is:1 Male stripper. "

In closing. That message would be more to my liking and I am sure EVEryone feels the same.

Thank you, and wish FAWLTY7 a happy bday from me as well since it's kinda ironic that his bday is on the same day that EVE didn't fuel their poses.


Sincerely,

The fat dude that hates the blue button, loves Taylor Swift, watches midget porn, and asks not to be judged.

tbh i'm not really joking... it's pretty awesome to see so many different players talking, regardless of standings etc...

and yea i'm gonna have to drink for posting this, but worth it :)

Well it does seem free SD is in order, just like in the past when the server was down for a good deal of time.

I hope everything is ok CCP, and we know you are working as quickly as possible, and will make this period of down time right with the players.

Thanks for always keeping us informed and always working hard for us.
