I hope it wasn't the multi-core supporting compiler for the special python CCP has for eve going blewie. That means we now have an uncompiled snake that can multi-thread and which is known for being constrictive, which is adept at traversing the innertubes of the net-verse.

Talking more,

Flying crazier,

And drinking more

Don't think you have any idea what a Rollback is and what that would do to yours and my skillpoints you nana

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

come on, push for 300!!! they almost got it fixed!

Twisted

maybe it was all the server traffic generated by the whining that slowed down progress on the fix?

i mean some of the comments were LOL funny,, i bet they had to stop and have a laugh at whats being said here, from time to time,,

maybe it was the people who saw the server was down, and still tried to log in anyway?

Will they beat this record?

Edit: No i don't care about SP /compensation.

Wow 50k sp for to days offline. Dose that mean we can exspect atleast 25k sp so far. Be nice if its happens. I hope you get it fixed soon guys. I know you are worked at doing so.

Well, at a page every few seconds, I think we're going to break the tank on the forum server soon. Shouldn't be long now, but who's going for the pod?

Only one. His name is Tuxford.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

Yeah, because MMO systems are *so* simple and easy to set up, it's practically child's play to keep them running! I could fix their this with my eyes closed and I'm not even an IT professional! Why can't the developers who created the game, maintain the game, control the game, know everything about the game and are more familiar with the game systems and technologies than 100% of all other human beings on the planet and are exemplars of their trade and actively manage and improve the one toy we love ****ING STUPID PANTS-ON-HEAD ******** DEVELOPERS MAKE SUCH A BASIC MISTAKE. Where are the backups? All MMO developers should do a full backup every single day. What about rollbacks? You could've rolled the server back and let us play whilst you figure it out on the test server even though the live server is intrinsically different to the test server (because it's not the test server) and there are numerous complications which could happen during patching that happen to multiple other MMOs on a regular basisinstead of sitting on your asses eating pizza! GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT CCP, YOUR ONE AND ONLY ROLE IN LIFE IS TO CATER TO ME AND ME ONLY


..Sorry, I thought I'd already hit my maximum weekly sarcasm budget. Guess not.




Its a matter of emergency management, and the obvious lack of redundant self contained systems of backing up their data that has led to this catastrophic server failure to even start...you don't know what you are tlking about and "technically" neither do I, but what I do know if CCP was an American company that crap would be up and running already

With this unscheduled down time due to programming / hardware errors, how will this affect the perceptions of newbies, how will it affect revenue generation and lastly how will it affect the perception of the community that CCP provide a reliable and efficient MMORPG. The perception that CCP cannot overcome software issues will have certainly damaged their reputation, How are they going to overcome this . Maybe if CCP gave us regular updates into the situation they may alleviate our concerns, rather than letting speculation grow and more damage manifest itself. CCP Let us know what's happening.



I think they will deal with this by cryingShocked
