The fortune teller told me I have three days left, does this include the day she told me this,
or does the count begin the day after? (I'd ask her, but she'd charge me another five bucks!)

Cool

There just isn't anything that can be said!

I suspect all of the unused cerebrators will became toxic past expiration date.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

And if you leave them in, your SP would actually go down.

It would be the best CCP troll ever.

What exactly happens when the booster effect wears off? My skill training time didnt change when booster effect ended, but after i paused and restarted the skill queue, i got 4 days extra on my skill :(

If i never pause the skillqueue, will the booster effect last forever? (Downtime doesnt pause or restart the skill queue according to my experience.) I wouldnt be surprised if this is actually possible, becuase the whole attribute booster implementation seemed sloppy.

CCP has stated that any skill queue discrepancies are to be interpreted as UI glitches. If you have the booster plugged in, you get +10, if its not, you're training at normal rates.

Except that out of game tools tend to read it as still being active too, which makes me think this isn't the case. Haven't personally compared completion times though to be certain.

Do not know what is true, but I will put the longest skill to train today with fresh accelerator. If it is only 2 days... good, if it goes till the end of the skill... damn it would be nice :)

There were a lot of "discrepancies". It seems like client and server are not syncronised when it comes to skill points. I didnt write down my skill points before injecting the first booster, so i can't calculate if the boosters worked properly. I don't like this at all.

For example, what happens when a skill finishes, because the booster is still active on my client, but not on the server? Will i lose the extra skill points? Will my client crash when i use something that requires that skill? Will CCP's security department send their thugs to my house because they get a false postive and think i modified my client?
