We apologize for the inconvenience this causes.

Further updates to the situation will be posted here.

UPDATE 11:45 UTC: A further downtime extension until 12:00 UTC is needed while we sort out these difficulties. We apologize once again for the inconvenience.

UPDATE 12:00 UTC: It seems that Iceland's advancement into the Eurovision grand finals has put the cluster into an absolutely unmanageable state. While we try to get the hamsters into line, we must extend downtime by a further 30 minutes. Our sincerest apologies for this situation, we want this to go smooth as much as you guys.



OK, all you people winging like bitches out there, seriously!! harden the fk up guys!
CCP would have to be the ONLY MMO provider i know of in EXISTANCE, that actually work to Fix problems IN REAL TIME!

You name 1 other company that give you on the fly updates as to what is going on ... go on i dare you ...
Stop being so damn selfish, we just got a damn gift from CCP, they didnt have to, but they gave us one anyways!!

Dunno what more I can do from my end guys...

I've already thrown my keyboard at the cat, googled "OMFG! THE SERVERS ARE DOWN AND MY MEDS ARE WEARING OFF!!!", phoned me mum and threatened to stop loving her if she didn't make it all better (and that ALWAYS works!)....

I even gave the launcher my most obnoxious Stink Eye for nearly 4 minutes straight!! I mean I was REALLY stankin it up....

Severs prolly never gonna work again...

Well now. Isn't this a pickle. Okay guys. Remember this. Be in the right place, at the right time, with the right attitude and the right equipment, ready to concentrate and you might figure out that you have to pay the freaking internet bill. I could loan you some iskies to pay it but then converting iskies to real money is a violation of the EULA. Lol

UPDATE 12:30 UTC: TQ is still having issues with starting after downtime. A further extension of 30 minutes is required while we get to the bottom of what is going on, meaning 13:00 UTC. Thank you for the patience you guys have shown so far during this unexpected downtime extension.


Looks like they have lost the hamsters...

Wow.

You can't get more wholesomely weepy for Eurovision song contest can you?

Would anyone care to provide a translation.

Eurovision Song Contest 2013 Semi-Final (2)
Iceland (RÚV)

Song title: Ég Á Líf
Song writer(s): Örlygur Smári & Pétur Örn Gudmundsson

I strongly suspect this is the reason for extended downtime, yes. But then again, that is why I am a member of the Community Team rather than the Operations Team.

OMG... Please tell me this isn't about soccer!!! You people kill everything over the most boring sport, if it really is a sport. Personally, I don't see how kicking a ball around a field the size of the 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios a sport.
