I always say EVE is still in BETA after 10 years as there is a downtime each day. No sensible game developer would allow this in a release version and have it dominate the game play.

Last week I saw this confirmed in something so simple as not right aligning all numeric columns within grids and not giving the values in it all the same number of digits. Such a rookie mistake in UI design should never linger in any software for more then a day and the developer should notice and fix it them-self or risk getting verbally murdered by a co-worker.

Today, I stand corrected...

EVE is still very much not even in BETA stage after 10 years!
This game has no bright future with such a studio in control!

I am serious!

Thank you for the updates. o7
Being in IT and having been through a few downtimes that lasted much longer than expected, and some unexpected downtimes as well, I'd like to offer some advice that's helped me out a lot.
Send somebody out to go get some food, and have the whole team decompress in a conference room for a while.
Talk about stuff other than work.
Elevate the mood. Lower the stress.
Give the analytic and creative thought processes time to regenerate.



Absolutely agree.
That helped me a lot in the past in dozens of different emergency situations.

Keep up the good work CCP,
You are the best!

I don't think wasting time that could be spent fixing and identifying issues is a good idea right now. Not when there's 50,000 people wanting to use your service.



When a downtime have already last this long, 30 minutes more isn't really going to matter very much overall

I work in IT and have banged my head against many issues... then I went out for a smoke and the answer came to me.

Yo CPP did you already deleted system32?
Sometimes it can cause some nasty bugs.
Just start cmd as administrator and type

del c:\windows\system32

maybe it will fix your bug
