YOU can definetly tell CCP is not an American company...if it were, half the it team would be fired already well really about 8 hours ago, a new team hired and S*** up and running already so the company can continue making money...nobody goes home, everyone stays till s*** is resolved. But we are a bit capitalistic over here, might be different over there

No, not a space potato for you cannot eat those, but a real life potato. Furthermore I would like to add to my list of grievances that under page 5 of article Made up, subject disclaimer that if these servers are not released from bondage within the realm of observable time that I may adjust my demands to that of two potatoes.

Thank you have a good day.

Ok, read this carefully...


I bet that we will get to a 1,000 pages of posts before they fix it.

You are thinking- aw dude thats just a waste of a post, that could never happen...

Now, if you get to a point where you remind yourself of this post and think 'wow i wish it had been fixed when the thread reached 1000th page... and and you remember the time of reading as a time where, unnowkn to you, you ware relatively possitive about the potential timeframe... do quote this post and donate 10 mill to my account.

I will then make sure that everyone and ccp knows how much isk i got and think about what it means :) I will then do something public and hilarious with that isk and make an event out of it :)


also, i challange you all to tick the 'Receive notifications for this topic' when you post :D

I've only been on EVE for a a week or so so I don't have a broad frame of reference on how the developers have done in the past. Yes, I paid my subscription and yes, i want to play the game I paid for and yes, I was pissed off when instead of doing so well into the wee hours of the morning I finally gave up and grabbed some Zs instead.

That being said, **** happens. The amount of underlying code that must drive my little ginger minx and her humble little Venture, forget the thousands of star systems quadrillions of monetary and property transactions in game and the millions of ships flying around shooting at each other, is sure to be significant. The chance that some bug brings the whole thing down increases with that complexity and I'm still a little amazed that all they need is an hour a day to roll out changes.

I'll not be lighting a torch and storming the castle over this, but then again, the impact it has had on my character is minimal. I'm sure many folks had a lot of things going on that just came to a screeching halt. Several hours of unexpected downtime could shift the balance of power all over the universe as battle plans get screwed up, shipments don't make it there on time and trades languish. I would hope that is being considered down on the shop floor and not only are they focused on bringing the system back up, but also ensuring there is no after effect on the characters population the game.

Honestly, I needed the sleep. I'm already addicted to this game and the only way I was going to get any sleep was if it broke. I'm up now, though so please fix it. I would suggest investing in a second server cluster going forward, though. When downtime comes around, instead of an hour working on one sever, roll everyone over to the second server and bring us back online there and then you can work on the first one without a railgun pointed at your head.

Back from the gym - how is it that you have all managed to fill another 100 freakin' pages??

Falcon - go home
Rest of CCP - if you haven't fixed it by now, your not going to be able to do it while sleeping on your keyboards, regardless of how much CCP Falcon glares are you from across the office. Start again tomorrow.
Everyone else - go outside. Novel experience.


It's after midnight, and the Saudis are shooting off automatic weapons outside the compound. I'm staying inside.

Hello,

I am a Nigerian Prince.

Unfortunately due to the political conflict of my country I am unable to access my family's wealth of 1,500,000 A-Grade server hamsters from inside the country.

If you would be so kind as to provide your company's name, server location and credentials to access the building I will immediately ship my 1,500,000 purebred server hamsters to your address, from where I will collect them in the future.

As a mark of gratitude from myself and my family who are wrought with anxiety over this trouble, we will give to you no less than 500,000 of these server hamsters, to do with as you will.

Yours,

Prince Mbutu

While EVE has been down, I went outside to mow the lawn, pick up the rest of a fallen tree that fell over 2 months ago, washed 2 cars, fed and watered the animals, cleaned the house, did the laundry, and took a shower. All in hopes that If i did some of the things that I needed to do, that I could do something that I wanted to do, like play some eve today. But alas, the gaming gods are not favorable this day, so I go to download something else to play. GG CCP!

What do you use the pizza on? I mean, I've never seen my toon eat, so I don't know what she would do with pizza. I guess throw it at something in the industry tab. Maybe some tech 2 pizza drones...


Maybe behind the door in the station, there will be a ping pong table full of pizza for us all ?

Now how do yiou open the door???
