Apologies are so polite, but at least CCP must extend all pilot lincenses the time we were unable to play. Roll

No further update at present guys. Our operations team are still working on the issue.

Really sorry for the delay in having TQ back online, hopefully we'll have things up and running soon Smile

They told you it is not gonna work right now, so no reason to sit and keep hitting the log in button - go do something else?

If you insist on sitting in front of the laptop, maybe put on a good movie?

Oh god, if CCP was using Vista, then it really would be on fire like in CCP Falcon's pic.

Actually after a few service packs Vista was ok.

If he was a grown man, he probably wouldnt cry so much.

You should have the SISI guys give everyone level V capital skills when these issues arise, that'd be a fun alternative.

A lot of stress heads on here today. No matter what online game you play there will be issues when you start adding ad dons. People need to chill out and relax. The worlds fast enough as it is. Sit back with a Cadburys caramel bar or a beer and wait for

Datacenter is in London. You want your prime time staff on hand at DT so that when this kind of thing happens you have all hands on deck to fix it, not the poor souls on a graveyard shift.


I suspect the prime time staff are currently congregating at a J D Wetherspoons somewhere in old smokey.
Chances are they'll get a terrible pint to go with their terrible lunch and come down with a nasty case of salmonella poisoning. CCP Falcon will resort to posting that little gif, which admittedly was funny the first time I saw it, another dozen times before the backshift arrive to take the prime time shift to the nearest hospital.
It will be left to the graveyard shift to fix the problems they most likely created in the first place and we'll all find ourselves doing the same thing after downtime tomorrow. Lol

Tell you what, you go make a game, that is even console standard let alone a huge MMO like eve, and make it with no mistakes, no flaws, no issues, then you can comment on others, because you know what, Nearly every games company to date has issues occasionally, be it console or online based. It happens, Deal with it. Have some patience.


so you are totally free from all kinds of responsibilities? that everyone else in the world must forgive all the mistakes you have done? i said i am not happy, and i didn't use any swear words. all i ask for is ressonable compensation as the apologisation from their mistakes. patience? what else i can do to them if they can't fixe this for the rest of my life? sitting in front of my lap and just waiting?



From the EULA you accepted:

While CCP attempts to have the System available at most times, CCP does not guarantee that the System will always be available, or that the System will not become unavailable during Game play. The System may become unavailable for a number of reasons, including without limitation during the performance of maintenance to the System, for the implementation of new software, for emergency situations and due to equipment or telecommunications failures.

The odd lack of access is the reality of ANY online service. CCP's only obligation is to fix the issue, which they are clearly working hard to do.

Alright, to pass the time, everybody sing!


When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You will always have, downtime
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtime

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the server
Linger on the launchscreen
Where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles
Forget all your cares and go

Downtime, things'll be great when you've
Downtime, no finer time for sure
Downtime, everything's waiting for you
Downtime

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtime
Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close, downtime
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the boot is over
Happy again

The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtime, when all the lights are green
Downtime- waiting for you tonight
Downtime- you're gonna be all right now

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtime; things'll be great when you're
Downtime; don't wait a minute for
Downtime; everything's waiting for you

Downtime, downtime, downtime, downtime

Being a Administrator myself, i understand the actual hardships of the CCP guys.
Keep Calm and Carry on!

The Trollposts and aggresive rants.
Every MMO (yes WoW to) if ppl cannot loggin, lots lose their cool.
Considering the latent more aggressive CCP Players leeds even more to trollpostings and more.

"Sorry for any inconvenience!" as stated on Eve's Twitter, there's your apology, you aren't asking for an apology however, you are asking for handouts. There is more to life that just eve, go make some dinner, do some washing up, sit on your hands.

Why not get down to fixing the issues instead of changing minute details in the randoms.

Let's make the people of Eve want to keep playing it and... (instead of being burnt out like other video games after a few wasted years of trying to understand)... enjoy and consistently try to do better within so.

... There is a lot about this game I like, but ... I like the game for the space but at the same time, it's not like you can get online and just go run a "dungeon" or something. There is zero upfront profitability to this game.

... Ever since I started playing this game about a month or so ago, all I feel like I've done is move from one side of the galaxy to the next and for reason such as the corporation I had joined either had only 1-5 members or that others like Brave Newbie nonsense won't let you join the fleets til you get the Mumble working.

You are complaining about them not fixing the issue at the exact time they are fixing the issue.

People have been playing this game for 10+ years now and its still running strong, they are constantly releasing FREE expansions so they are consistently trying to do better.

There are "dungeons" they are called complex's.

If you dont like the corps you are joining do not join those corps, there are thousands of them out there. I dont think after playing the game for only a month you have the adequate information to support your argument.



Hes in Eve University And hes complaining why hes not making money. He needs to find himself a corporation of friendly guys get on teamspeak or Mumble and Learn to Fly some l4/l5 missions or learn some adv industry is that's his thing or get on the pvp bandwagon and get out in NULL or hell get to ratting out in null, get in a wh. WHs are great profit, some c5 capital escalations will make bank in a hurry, those gases are a pretty sweet sale as well. At least doing something, is better then idling, cant making isk with out getting out there and getting your hands dirty and learning the game for what it is.

Check employment history. Also check this full, unfragmented sentence.

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...
