Logged off around 10:55 for DT at 11:00... Tried to log back in at 11:07 and got right on. Have they really gotten DT so short? Is it always that fast these days?

If so, nice job CCP!

Totally unacceptable, tbqfh.

It's sad they don't care about us anymore. It's an outrage ! Do they really expect us to manage everything "real-life"
in that short amount of time ? It's so bad now, the only thing left that i can do is smoke a cigarette.

I haven't showered in weeks ! Sometimes i have to decide between smoking a cigarette and actually
going to the toilet for a dump ! Do they care how my stomach feels because it's so overloaded ?

No !










j/k :)


edit: just noticed your name. daf ook. haha, nice one :D

On a serious note, downtimes have been reduced to around 6-15 minutes for about 6 months now.

To the folks at CCP valiantly fighting the spaghetti code to work around the last remaining DT-dependent issues, I salute you!

CCP I demand to pay you a few cent more this month because of the 23 minutes more gametime you gave me.

...wait a second....something is wrong.

Normal DT is approx. 6 minutes these days, when there is no maintenance.

The reboot this afternoon was because one the proxy blades in the cluster bluescreened and that in turn caused a cascading failure that we will investigate.

Which is how often? I've heard of these legendary 7 minute downtimes, but have never witnessed one. Was hoping for one on friday but then it went for the full 30 minutes Sad

I know! It's like they're giving us 23 extra minutes a day for our money!

How am i going to be able to DT Gank with only 6 minute DT's? This is an outrage

CCP please can you stop at the 5 minute margin.

I need sufficient time each day to change my saline drip attached to an office chair with toilet and autowash facilities.

Without this mandatory break to an addiction known as EvE I might end up forgetting to change these needed nutrients to maintain pilot activities 23.9/7 Blink

aka: Nice one CCP, as a pilot who flys in the DT Zone great to see the interuptions kept as minimal as possible.

At this shrink rate, they will reach negative downtime by late 2013.... Cool

Ugh, each time DT gets shorter it gives us even less time to get that days sleep in.

I remember back in the day when we could sleep for a full hour before needing to log back on.
