I've only been on EVE for a a week or so so I don't have a broad frame of reference on how the developers have done in the past. Yes, I paid my subscription and yes, I want to play the game I paid for and yes, I was pissed off when instead of doing so well into the wee hours of the morning I finally gave up and grabbed some Zs instead.

That being said, **** happens. The amount of underlying code that must drive my little ginger minx and her humble little Venture, forget the thousands of star systems, quadrillions of monetary and property transactions in game and the millions of ships flying around shooting at each other, is sure to be significant. The chance that some bug brings the whole thing down increases with that complexity and I'm still a little amazed that all they need is an hour a day to roll out changes.

I'll not be lighting a torch and storming the castle over this, but then again, the impact it has had on my character is minimal. I'm sure many folks had a lot of things going on that just came to a screeching halt. Several hours of unexpected downtime could potentially shift the balance of power all over the universe as battle plans get screwed up, shipments don't make it there on time and trades languish. I would hope that is being considered down on the shop floor and not only are they focused on bringing the system back up, but also ensuring there is no after effect on the characters populating the game.

Honestly, I needed the sleep. I'm already addicted to this game and the only way I was going to get any sleep was if it broke. I'm up now, though, so please fix it. I would suggest investing in a second server cluster going forward, though, and flip back and forth between them as you roll out updates. When downtime comes around, instead of an hour working on one sever, roll everyone over to the second server and bring us back online there and then you can work on the first one out of sight without a railgun pointed at your head.

I'd settle for in-game pizza Big smile



I'd save it for about three years and then sell it in Jita for people who were greedy and used it all Blink

What do you use the pizza on? I mean, I've never seen my toon eat, so I don't know what she would do with pizza. I guess throw it at something in the industry tab. Maybe some tech 2 pizza drones...



Tach 2 pizza drones should definitely be a thing!

An Englishman, an Irishman, and Scottish man are drinking in a bar.

A fly lands in the Englishman's pint. The Englishman is incensed, and pushes his beer away and orders another.

A fly lands in the Scottish man's pint. The Scottish man looks at the fly, shrugs, and just drinks the fly down.

A fly lands in the Irishman's pint. The Irishman is furious. He picks out the fly, and violently shakes the fly over his pint glass while screaming, "Spit it out ya wee bastard!"

People accuse others about them not having a life when they complain about bad service....
People has the right to expect good service for a service they pay for!
I think this is a reasonable and logical argument.

However, people also need to understand that things can go wrong and we all have our bad days/moments....

Back from the gym - how is it that you have all managed to fill another 100 freakin' pages??

Falcon - go home
Rest of CCP - if you haven't fixed it by now, your not going to be able to do it while sleeping on your keyboards, regardless of how much CCP Falcon glares at you from across the office. Start again tomorrow.
Everyone else - go outside. Novel experience.

As I have no yet received my potato or writ of apology, CCP does not seem to understand the gravity of the situation, and now I increase my demands to three potatoes, unless these potatoes are delivered to me in a timely fashion I shall execute an orange sitting on my dinner table, you have been warned.

Yup, I'm not a programmer... I'm here to message, and make sure you guys are informed with as much as we can release. Best thing I can do is take care of people and make sure they're comfortable while they're working.

Gotta take care of our peeps, because frankly, we have an amazing team here in Reykjavik who work flat out to keep you guys entertained with spaceships .

Big smile


are u implying this game is entertaining
