It's just amusing reading this thread, thoroughly entertained.

On a more serious note, how many days do we live over the course of an average human life span? How many times as we get old do we say how quickly the time goes? How often do we think what did I do a couple of weeks ago and drag the memories up?

Get over the DT, this week eill be over before you know it, then the next one, then the month will be over, then the year, and so on until it all snowballs into a memory of what once happened however long ago.

You have more to worry about in your lives than the Downtime in a computer game, whether that is from the perspective of defending the game developers or being upset about not playing, in all seriousness, learn a skill, get a real life hobby, hell just go for a walk and enjoy the world you live in.

The EULA clearly says:

Since we all agreed to that, we cannot demand compensation.

If they choose to give us some I would not object however ;)


As if anyone ever read those things... Besides we are not demanding, we are just saying PWEEEEES P

If in this land of super long skillqueues, you managed to lose skill training time, it is your own fault. if not, why on earth would they give skillpoints out. you haven't lost them, does it suck, yeah it does, I'm in AU and it blows.

But if they need to do it, then go right on ahead

How much more would you howl if they didn't and TQ was down for a week due to something they could have fixed in an extended downtime


Can i get an AMEN!

And dont use RL excuses, like work and family, its not our problem/fault you have that and it gets in your way of a game.


Nice only cutting the parts you can use, haha! Not using RL excuses, just saying that THIS is AUS TZ prime time, so how about you shut up, and this isn't your game, nor are these your servers, so don't say its not "our" fault, bloody child


I think maybe you need to rethink. You're right it's primetime for a selected few, would you rather have it spent on somebody else's primetime? Bit egocentric isn't it?

Even if they say that, where i come from that says nothing. Local law > EULA, simple as that. and they know it.

4 days of extended DT in a row. It doesn't look like a coincidence anymore.
At this rate extending all players subscription by 1 should be a reasonable compensation.

Just to be precise, according to EU laws EULEA is not a legal legit agreement, so if some EU citizen will be so proud (and rich) to sue CCP in fron of some EU court, CCP will have to compensate all EU players...

Just sci-fi talking :)

Get in a different time zone? :p



4th day in a row and all occur in the prime time of one segment of your playerbase (Oceania).. My guess is that if you did it at 19-22:00 EvE time you would have a HUGE backlash against you.. Instead of segmenting things against one minority group of players how about you reschedule your down time to something like 05:00 EvE where no where near as many players are on from any particular time zone.

Bout time you did a bit of a rethink on what you are doing and what time zones you disadvantage before you lose even more respect from the playerbase. Just saying 'Sorry about that' is not enough!



That would mean they have to wake up at 3-4 to start working on server at 5^^ you do know that wont happen right ^^

good that this time they managed to tell us with 30 secs before down time that they will be an extended one.. the other day was off for 3hours with no warning at all.

All these australians moaning about the downtime.

I would just like to state; it's 45 minutes extra. It's not exactly mind blowing.

I used to play other MMO's that were hosted on American servers, and their downtimes would be around the same time for me (UK), because their server was American. If you wanted it to go down during AUS night time, then the EU would suffer. Went down during EU night, US would suffer, and so the cycle continues.

And, think of the poor employees. Getting a call, being told that they have to come in at 1am in Iceland just to cater to your needs.
