ok this might be offtopic but after reading page after page i wonder what will happen if CCP charges some isk as a fee for posting on the forum.
Maybe dynamically adjustet by charactercount.

This could be an amazing isk sink Twisted

"productive" you say... what is this strange word?


It's something people supposedly do when they don't drink. I know... it's weird... why would anyone want to ever not drink.


Actually, drinking makes one's liver very productive...even over-worked.

So right before the dt I had 2 sites escalate to 5/10 (one in lowsec and one in high), the first 5/10 I would ever run and I got ready to run the highsec one after the dt (if I would have known I would not be able to run it after I would have tried to do it before).

This bloody sucks.

Silver this is an interesting concept. I would hope that they have full back ups. Why not roll back to the pre downtime state? It has now been 5 1/2 hours. Surely there is something fundamentally flawed with the new patch. Or is it in fact a mass hardware issue. It would be interesting to understand what type of fault this is.

I run a software business that develops applications and I know how frustrating that this can be, but as my clients state (and we are the clients here) "keep me up to date with all the detail so I can be assured that you are working in the most professional way to solve my problems"

Now getting officially disgruntle but also understand the nuances of software.


Just to put the "full backup" nonsense to bed.

You run a software company, yes? You're aware of the concept of backup rotation schemes, yes? CCP doesn't do a full backup every time it backs up the system, that'd be amazingly cost prohibitive. It's all incremental.

It's entirely possible that a code change made weeks/months ago is causing a conflict today. The only way to fix something like that, would be to rollback to the point of that code change, and move forward. It's not like they can just grab the backup off the shelf from yesterday and spin it up. It's entirely possible that the last stable backup they can pull might be too old to use.

Just imagine the fits that would be pitched if CCP said "Guys, we got to roll back to 7/1 to find a stable build. Sorry, 15 days are gone. Good luck!

really, I couldn't care less about downtime being extended as long as the fix isn't a Band-Aid.

No sp, isk, or item compensations..

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

You can do it! CCP Falcon,
