I pay for a 3-month recurring plan. I don't feel I should be compensated. These irregular down-times are to be expected in any MMO, even pay-to-play ones. Even if the game is down for an entire day, you're talking about roughly fifty cents worth of playtime. Even less than that, if you factor in that skill-points continue to train during downtime.

Not to mention, I feel the added amusement from the forums during the downtime is my compensation. Twisted

This is so silly on so many levels that my computer just lit on fire trying to comprehend it.

You two are being just as immature jumping at the opportunity to make fun of him since you see Falcon getting on to him. Even though he isn't really off topic, he's complaining about the DT...


You need to train grammar to at least lvl 3 to play this game you are playing. You seem very butthurt about him getting griped at for being butthurt. Perhaps you need to push back that keyboard and disconnect for a bit. Its ok, I promise you can get back to mining just as soon as the server is up.

Go CCP, do your thing. Don't let these small minded grumpy carebears get you down. I'm having quite a nice chowder, take your time. We believe in you!


Yah you assume waaaay to much . Keep slurpin' that CCP schlong, maybe they'll make a special shuttle for you!


They already did, its called the Friend Ship. What, you don't have any of those? I've just got to wonder, why so mad bro?


Because you called me a miner.

Today's daily downtime will be extended by 30 minutes in order for us to make some short notice hardware changes to Tranquility.

We expect to be online and accepting connections at 12:00 UTC.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this unscheduled extension.

UPDATE:

11:56 UTC - DOWNTIME WILL BE FURTHER EXTENDED WHILE WE WORK ON TRANQUILITY
12:00 UTC - APOLOGIES FOR THE DELAY - CURRENTLY NO ETA WHEN TRANQUILITY WILL BE AVAILABLE
12:50 UTC - ISSUES WITH TRANQUILITY ARE STILL BEING INVESTIGATED




If possible, please link this thread in the game launcher. Took me some time to find this article and understand what the issue was.

Appreciate it,

It is pinned to the very top of the most popular forum discussion page, how did you have difficulty finding it lol... It was literally the very first place 99% of us went to look.

You are paying for a service that can be interrupted for various reasons, as noted in the EULA.

No that would have to be a Rare Implant you have to get from doing nothing and not logging into the game.

Oh, come one people, can't we all just be happy together in the knowledge that we will be able to blow each other up, scam each other and smack talk in local soon enough?

It's downtime! :-)

Just want to say Great game ccp, keep up the good work. Extended down time is better than a buggy game or in fight crashes. Pirate
