CCP I am disappointed in you, you did not tell us what Pizza you ordered, I rather like Regina's, but I tend to add more toppings so it becomes a real mix. So what Pizza did you order, I won't be able to sleep until I find out.

Haha and now the wife orders me to bed, so I will not get to know what Pizza it was, well might as well have an early night, good luck...

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

All this talk of pizza is making me hungry.

Even so, it is an unconscionable show of humanity on the part of management. There are many things worth weeping about in the world but feeding hungry developers pizza surely must be near the top of the list.

30 minutes to eat pizza?!!! I hope that meant 6 pizzas each or I will have lost my faith in CCP.



I feel like a 30 minute break is kind of reasonable for people who have been at work for probably 12 hours trying to solve a major problem. don't you think?


Lol man i've had like 2 hours of sitting and eating, at work i get like an hour so kuddos to CCP

I stopped playing for while because of frequent issues just like this but never this bad....... I think this is just terrible considering the money we pay every month for a service which should run better than this - approaching the 12 hour mark now - this is not the way to treat your subscribers..... sorry if that sounds harsh but I'm disappointed.


Divide the money you pay between available hours per month, 720 hours per month at £16.99 in UK = £0.02 per hour. Now I understand the douchery, this downtime has cost me a whopping £0.24 so far....

Sorry if CCP are looking out for the welfare of their employees by feeding them and making sure they're not going hungry when they've been working 9 hours solid on a severe technical issue.



The point wasn't that CCP shouldn't be looking out for the welfare of their employees, or that devs shouldnt have food, it was that if I was the paying customer of a company whose service has been unaccessible for over 6 hours (and I am), what I'd like to see to give me confidence is a detailed explanation of the problem and photos of people WORKING on it (even if they're having pizza at the same time), not pictures of devs hanging around a table having pizza with a game room in the background. Maybe I'm less hipster and my idea of PR is different but not really what I'd post with a mass of pissed off people on the forums.

Otherwise noones expecting people to work like robots. Though robots will likely be replacing us all soon enough.

Oh and a bit more detail on what's going on would be nice, we're not technical morons here, most of us can actually tell between our software and hardware and our frontends and backends (hopefully most people can generally tell between the last two).

They probably do. Most folks don't realize the step that occurs before that.

Everything gets wiped.

Go back 2 days and this is what they have to deal with:

2 days of customer transactions are gone.

2 days of tickets are gone.

2 days of other upgrades, patching and coding are now gone.

2 days of character development are now gone.

Everything for those 2 days is now gone.

It's a big step.

Lookie, I found where to edit my Signature!
