Just a Idea why don't you roll back the patch ....fix the issues with it the repatch at later date and let us at least play while your solving the mess you've made!!!!!!!


Silver this is an interesting concept. I would hope that they have full back ups. Why not roll back to the pre downtime state? It has now been 5 1/2 hours. Surely there is something fundamentally flawed with the new patch. Or is it in fact a mass hardware issue. It would be interesting to understand what type of fault this is.

I run a software business that develops applications and I know how frustrating that this can be, but as my clients state (and we are the clients here) "keep me up to date with all the detail so I can be assured that you are working in the most professional way to solve my problems"

Now getting officially disgruntle but also understand the nuances of software.

play their game, while they figure out where they ****** up with the update.

Honestly, I suppose it is my own fault for thinking that after spending so much money with the many thousands or
millions in which we play these games, and buying extra credits on a weekly basis for getting just a little more
ahead then others, that some of that money would be spend in creating a redundant server setup, where when
someone fucks up, you don't bother the players for hours of game time, because you ****** up installing a update.

Where has the game world gone, when fucks ups are more important then the users that keep games like this
running by paying for things that (in this case) might breakdown.

Oooohhh my god, 6 hours of downtime??? Your hosting an online game...


If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it, if it is broken, (THEN WHY HAVEN'T YOU FIXED IT YET)...

Geez CCP, if it isn't working, just wipe the database, reinstall the server and we'll all start from scratch again.

The half hour updates are a big improvement from prior outages even if they don't show much progress.

Sometimes I wish the developers understood that when there's an outage it's like to having an audience waiting in an auditorium. They may boo you when you get up on stage to tell them the show isn't ready to start, however these same people are still appreciative about not being kept in the dark for long periods of time.

ps - Looks like it's going to be a long night for the developers...even if they end up going home, they'll be glued to their screens there pouring through code and running tests trying to find this problem.

Any guess how many pages this thread will get to, before the servers are back up?
I reckon 245 pages.

I expect to get this post deleted or locked. So much for freedom of expression.

I believe that's something that's already been considered, obviously.


If it were obvious a roll back would have been performed by now. The dude made a valid statement, one which in any other production environment would have happened to mitigate extended downtime, which you well and truly have driven head long into.
