Due to start-up issues, downtime on May 17th was extended until 12:39 UTC.

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.

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.

UPDATE 12:39 UTC: After a few calming words and several re-initializations, TQ finally decided to love life again. Thank you for your patience during these start-up difficulties.



At least until something official is said, I'll go with it being that Microsoft SQL Server hates everyone equally today, given I've just spent an hour cleaning up the mess the uninstaller left behind on a machine I manage. P Thanks for your dedication in getting it back up 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!!

You mad bro? Obviously the majority of us were posting on here to have a bit of fun and poke around at CCP while the servers are down...it appears however that you are the only one taking **** seriously and getting upset. I recommend getting laid Bear

>Your com unit beeps<
That sexy voice you have programed states" Incoming Message."

The vidscreen pops up displaying BoeWona.
"Have travelled through both time and space to come upon the great EVE." BoeWona says, pausing as the image seems to show pain.

"It is from my past travels that cause the hair on the back of my neck to stand up..." Boe pauses again; painfully he continues while the vidscreen displays his
shivers...
pulses of ...
twitching...

" I MUST SHAKE OFF..." Boe yells forth as the screen suddenly goes blank and the connection is lost.


You have now stepped into the SONY ZONE.

It is not DIRT it is the entity that is trying to control it through thier evil devices of what is called a playstation.

I do hope SONY does not f@#$ up this great game that so many have worked so hard to make SO GREAT.

Allright, i can fix it! - No i am verry serious, if you guys cant handle it, i am shure i can!

As for the comunity dev, he might be the only one reading this ... post!

Your posts, don't even matter much, he just reads, and scraches head..

Servers are still down, probably database issue,
nobody even got clue, and they gave up and went to a beer, i know i would!

I respectfully request 1 million free raw SP as a reward for being the only one that didn't blame DUST.
