if we all think about it today is a day that doesnt really truly exist its just a extra day like life has just gone "you know what these guys have it tough lets give them a free day every 4 years" meaning that today shouldnt exist meaning that what ever happens today doesnt actually happen meaning that ccp have not done anything wrong meaning that today you are not really paying for your game time so technically we all ow ccp money if we where able to play today..... did anyone think about that?

Create a dev named CCP_ZeroBama and give the begging leaches worthless items like in-game phones. It will keep them distracted while you work on the servers.

Give the poor hamsters some protein, they look sleepy and will not run the server that way :l

Days like today are those days when we find out who has a life and who does not.


Here's to the hard work they do at CCP. Don't let the complainers get to you. That game as complex as this even works at all is a mystery to most, so sometimes, we're gonna have issues.

Now, where do I send the pizza topped with Hákarl? I'm told you guys at CCP love that stuff.

I guarantee that if the devs listen to this whilst trying to fix the problem they'll do it at least 20% faster.

I know it seems like a Lie, but I once had Windows ME work more stable than TQ server. Honestly. Roll

I almost thought about going to the test server,

And then i remembered that you cant actually destroy someones stuff and collect there tears on that server .

Back to forums online looking for tears.

I read a post that says EVE runs on 250+ machines...PLUS they have a test environment (Is that another 250+machines? probably not).

IDK about you, but if I had to upgrade 250+ machines....getting even 99% right would mean 2 to 3 weren't working correctly.

The honest thing would be to come forward and say: "Hey, we have a 'difficult' thing to do, let's close TQ for a day or two, and get it back online once we are sure it will run more than two hours until the next crash."



I think this isnt the way it works. Massive parallel working systems like EVE shows a lot of unexpected problems under different load. One of the most difficult tasks is to create a test load that is able to work like real life. Here we can see that they wasnt able to do this.

When u change the whole hardware u will have a lot of surprises. Maybe it was the wrong way to change all the hardware together with the system architecture at the same time. This makes debugging much more difficult.

To all the CCP technicians: I'm understanding ur problems and know ur stress. (I'm software system developer working with similar systems and know about this ugly bugs)

Thanks for doing a good job.
