See, I'm personally fine with the whole "**** happens" mentaility. They'll get it up when they get it up (a blue pill would help though). My only thing is if it ends up being a multi day thing, then and only then should they do something in terms of apologizes for the players. Particularly if it ends up being 2-3 days, considering the mechanics they just laid out, it would also result in yesterday being a waste for a lot of people.

However, I have faith that it won't come to that, because as much as we take our internet spaceships seriously, I know CCP takes their internet fixery even more seriously.

-Yeah, man...we should be compensated. Or something.
-You know, they should try switching it on and off, it should help.
-Sure, but I am talking about some free stuff - you know, like new skins...or Gecko's BPO...we are losing $$$...
-You right, 4 hrs is something like $0.08.
-Right, they steal your money, what are we paying for...
-I bet they are not in a hurry to fix it, they should try it on Singularity first...or something...
-That's right, no respect for the customer, $0.08 is a fair chunk of moolah...
-At least they should try rolling it back...they have to have something to do that...
-But I would lose some SPs...they better fix it or I will put a petition in...
-What the hell is happening with these guys...
-Yeah, why should we lose time and $0.08...now maybe $0.09...
-This is not acceptable..and what do they mean by "unscheduled" ?
-I will be back in 2 min 35 sec - hope they fix it by then.
-Cheers, me too.


Yeah...still the same old...

Is It even Possible to Roll Back the update that broke the game, rather than fixing the broken patch ?

I find EFT to be a decent replacement for EvE. For the moment.

Damn it.

Here I had hoped to shoot rocks all day.

I hope you guys can fix the problem soon.

Maybe you could find some way of reimbursing all of us players who have no life without EVE.



How about a free drink?

CCP will get us taken care of.
Server will come back up.
Apology will be given.
Lost time will be rectified.

Kind of their M.O.

Would be more helpful to cheer on the poor tech who currently has a CCP exec mouth breathing behind him going:
"Any update"
"Not yet sir/madam"
"any update now"
"in the last 5 seconds ... no"



Poor tech guy .... first beer after work is on me ! you DESERVE IT !

So boredom time what kinda pc is everyone running ?

If a player can go to your house and turned off the power, a player can snuck in the server room and sabotage it with lazorsssss....

Well, after an amazing uptime record, even with all the updates, something like this was bound to happen. So who can we blame for not feeding the hamster? Now, in all seriousness, assuming that the operating system that is running on the cluster is a form of Unix, is the problem that the hardware will not boot to the OS or is the problem that the EvE Online server program fails to start?

Another, more interesting question is that how is CCP going to compensate us for not being able to play the game?

ISK, SP, or Game Time? I prefer skill points. But then again, that's not my call to make.



They're under no obligation to compensate players for anything. There was no way to anticipate the servers having a tantrum and it's not like they have SLA agreements with the players. If anything, CCP giving out *anything* is entirely up to them, but we shouldn't expect anything.

Now, everyone kept their skill queues updated ...right?


I know that CCP doesn't have to compensate us, but it would be nice if they did. Like I said, it's not my call. I have my skill queue setup for the next year.

We here at WiNGSPAN Delivery Services have customers awaiting deliveries. We are trying to run a business here! Our customers are being deprived of their munitions shipments!

On a serious note.. Good luck to the devs and I hope you don't set fire to another server.

Also! To set some straight on what happens when an issue like this happens. I would suggest having one spare person with a camera recording the madness. Then release a Behind The Scenes madness video. Being a techie myself, I would love to watch that.

Now I do understand where some of the people who want compensation and the like are coming from. Its not a problem for me persay, but if you end up missing your entire alotted time to play EVE in a week... There are some people playing the game who sub up, but end up being able to play for perhaps as few as 5 days of the month. If one of those days the server borks out, they paid alot for "nothing", so to speak.

I hope it gets fixed soon, but w/e, it'll be ready when its ready eh :p
I'm glad my phone app wasnt glitching when it kept insisting the server was offline :p
