IT'S ALIVE!!!!

Well the cluster is online and allowing 20 pilots to test. It's not accepting any real traffic right now. It does seem as if CCP has found the smoke and have been able to pump it back into the systems.

Databases can be fickle things and I expect there will be consequences. I hope the DBAs are taking extra time to make sure all tables and rows and attributes are where they should be. There will be rioting in the streets should we all suddenly find our self with an IBIS (yes we are all suddenly Caldari) and 100000 SP when we log in.

Soon my pretties we will have the precious...

Cheers

Nasty Fithy Trixie Downtimesies...

So this is more a sense of sympathy to the masses out there huddled around our iPhones or PCs shaking involuntarily as we wait for our precious EVE online to come back. Fighting back the cold sweats and shivering of withdrawal as we run well past the end of the scheduled window. We all wounder if our sparkles will EVER come back to us.

I am passing the time with my busy real world life. In my little office in the cellar of my planet side home 4 monitors are alive in front of me. On one I am typing this post in order to keep myself from playing some OTHER game to fill the void left with downtime. The next screen has Kung Fu Hustle playing to provide some sedation to my lust to PEW PEW. To the right two more screens are dedicated to my real life world were I am actually migrating Virtual servers of a failing SAN LUN. Not quite the massive SQL cluster that is the guts of EVE, but it allows me to sympathize with the poor sods who are lip deep in IBM blades servers right now trying to bring back the precious.

Hang tight my fellow capsuleers for it is these times when it matters not if we are pirates, carebears, scammers, or null sec badass. Right now we are all the same lost souls longing for the precious. Be strong...

Cheers
