General Discussion

Tonight at 10pm EDT (2:00 GMT), the EVE servers will be brought down for 24 hours to patch the newest expansion, the Empyrean Age.

Downtime STILL sucks, even if it's for a good reason.  And if you're wondering what to do while the universe is closed, stop on by the MMORPG.com Live Chat to hang out with friends, plot the downfall of your enemies, talk Factional trash, and gripe about downtime. As with our last Downtime Sucks chat, imaginary punch and pie will be available.

Event starts at 10pm EDT (2:00 GMT) and goes until CONCORD breaks us up.  Users can connect via our Live Chat javaclient or via any IRC client, to server irc.coldfront.net port 6667.  The chat will take place in #mmorpg.

this is for irc I assume?

I like being in there and talking about it and all, but to advertise it with no op in there to control it?

You know what sucks is this happened on the day I came back to try eve again : < I am sad..anyone know how long till sever is back up?

24 hours they say. If you want a good experience in EVE, you just have to join a good corp. For most players, it's not EVE itself that is bad, it's the corp they are in.

I think it does help if your corp is good. This is my third time back to the game since launch. Though the first few times i had to stop because I was sent to the gulf. I have been back a couple years. The first corp i joined when i returned was awesome, they taught me allot. Now even though I started my own corp, we are all still friends and still do stuff together.

Do your homework before joining a corp. Use the thier local chat room if they have one and talk to them before joining.

Welcome back to Eve.

You can contact me in-game if you are looking for a corp

My IGN is ^<--- right there. My name here.

I saw CONCORD in there already... terrible things are about to happen...

Well the down time is supposed to be at 2 GMT but I can't get online now and I have been trying since 9 GMT.

I get this message:

Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong.

Anyone able to log on now?

If you're bored b/c the EVE servers are down, you can always come and check out the progress being made on Infinity: www.infinity-universe.com/Infinity/infinity_media.php

Why is Eve offline?!?!  It is nowhere near the scheduled downtime.

It is a little after 10am GMT right.  The scheduled downtime is at 2pm GMT. 

Am I missing something?  Do I have my times wrong?
