Quote from: Oveur EXTENDED DOWNTIME TUESDAY THE 21ST 08:00-08:00 GMT FOR NEW TRANQUILITY 2006.02.15 13:02:58 That's right, this is the day we've all been waiting for. It's time to go live with the new cluster. This Tuesday, in a 24 hour extended downtime, old Tranquility hardware is replaced with 70 new IBM 64-bit AMD dual processor blade servers. This operation should double, if not triple the performance on our proxy and application layers. This is a very high-risk and extensive upgrade and we suggest you set long skill training, in case anything goes wrong. Join us in wishing our server crew good luck. As someone who copies large Oracle databases on a regular basis using both experience and a tight process refined over years, I submit that there will be issues. I will be shocked if the 24-hour window is not violated, actually; then again, CCP is pretty damn good at their jobs, from what I can tell. On the other hand, Oursulaert cannot possibly get any worse. Title: Re: Hardware migration Feb 21 Post by: Furiously on February 16, 2006, 09:16:08 AM So when are they patching in bloodlines?
Title: Re: Hardware migration Feb 21 Post by: Murgos on February 16, 2006, 09:19:22 AM So when are they patching in bloodlines? I seriously read that as, "So when are they patching in boobies?" Title: Re: Hardware migration Feb 21 Post by: Furiously on February 16, 2006, 09:23:40 AM Its amazing how you read what you want to see...
of course....Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a total mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh?

There's nothing so bad that it can't get more fucked up.

There's nothing so bad that it can't get more fucked up. You are correct, but the only way Ours could get much worse is if it disappeared entirely and took my pilot and my dog with it. I guess I shouldn't rule that out.

I'll be activating training in BC IV on Monday, which is a five day+ train, I suggest everyone else do something similar. Title: Re: Hardware migration Feb 21 Post by: Merusk on February 16, 2006, 09:32:57 AM Hrm possible long, long downtime. Medium Projectile turret V, here I come.

Title: Re: Hardware migration Feb 21 Post by: Silus Fromme on February 16, 2006, 12:20:39 PM According to the boards there was a 200 ship fleet battle that crashed an entire region over the weekend. That was Goonfleet, engaging NSN I think in the last 10 minutes before downtime. For those that haven't experienced one of these big CCP downtimes before, there is a hidden motivation to set a long skill for training (one considerably longer than the projected downtime). Word has it that in the past, when downtime has extended far past what their original prediction was, CCP has gone into the DB and set all active players skill training forward 1 day as a way of appeasing everyone. So, if, for example, downtime lasts 2 days instead of 1, CCP will fiddle the DB so your character will get 3 days training during that time. If you have a skill that takes less than 3 days to complete, you just get up to that skill's completion and no more.

Oooo...so many choices. Title: Re: Hardware migration Feb 21 Post by: Viin on February 16, 2006, 03:22:52 PM Both!
