They always break something, it's what they do best.

And we wouldn't have it any other way

Those 26 players are currently buying up all small/medium rig BPOs they can to maximize their profits.

the reason the server got broke was that it couldn't handle the 26 ccp working wich is a record

Hmmm. Well, we can't play the conspiracy card and claim that CCP is letting BoB get away with ( insert paranoid theory here ).

Unless............

Now they are letting the GOONS get away with ( insert paranoid theory here ).........


Hmmmmmmmmmm................

Well I have been awake since 9 am this morning (GMT+1) and its now 17:30 and I havent been able to log in. Had I not stacked a 3d skill queue last night I'd be unhappy now I suspect. Liekwise I have been unable to access to game for nearly 9 hrs. Why is it unreasonable for me and others in Europe to be re-embursed? Live outside the US and somehow you don't count? Nice.

---

Would it be fair for CCP to reimburse due to unexpected DT delays? Yes.

Do they have to? No.

If I recall correctly, the EULA states something along the lines of "we do not guarantee the server will be up at any given time", and you agreed to that when you accepted it, and for this reason, CCP has never reimbursed for as long as I've been playing, and I don't think they'll start now.

My skills are training, my production and research is running, my reactors are brewing. If the server is up or not matters little to me.

What would people do if CCP charged extra every time the server came up early?

'nuff said.

---

People would riot, because it's our nature to always want more, but react negatively when something is taken back. Which is why CCP isn't going to change their policy.

Clearly some people have not experienced the Tuesday World of Warcraft Maintenance days.

---

I haven't, but I know they last ~6 hours every week.

This sort of thing happens with every patch...I bet the database issues are related to the scaled rigs and the sheer number of rigs needing to be changed over. That's one thing you can't expect when patching...

Oh, and Murphy's Law is excellent for this.

When all else fails, try to make WoW look worse.

i woke up this morning and played other games, because i've been around long enough to know downtime on big patches is usually extended beyond the predicted time.

Welcome to eve. Some other interesting facts about this game, that you may not know about:
You can join player-made corporations.
Most of the market is player-driven.
Forums are for discussion, not crying.
