CCP kieron	Posted - 2005.10.12 18:27:00 - [1] Originally by: Darius Shakor You realise that if it doesn't work, then there will be several planes full of angry fans heading there on the 20th for the fanfest. Why do you think there is a party on the 23rd? Last I heard, there were plans for libations of the alcoholic nature, in addition to Devs acting silly, music and who knows what other shenanigans! kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread! Oh wait...


CCP kieron	Posted - 2005.10.12 18:31:00 - [2] Originally by: Bon Hedus Can I have the old hardware? I think you'd have to stand in line to get the old stuff. On a more serious note, the older equipment will still be used. This is not a complete change over from old to new, but an upgrade of the existing equipment. Replacing all the old gear is an investment of major proportions and is under discussion. This is just the first step. kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread! Oh wait...


CCP kieron	Posted - 2005.10.17 13:52:00 - [3] I don't have any of the technical specs or information regarding features like cache, I/O rates, etc. About all I do know from MXmus is that the response time for large database calls, like bookmarks and the market retrievals, should be significantly reduced. When Froggi returns from the server upgrade next week, I'll try to get him to post more information. kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread!

CCP kieron	Posted - 2005.10.18 19:18:00 - [5] Originally by: Farseeker Does anyone know when it is actually happening - on the opening screen it says thursday - on the news it says the 21st which on my calender is Friday - or do they expect probelms and are just covering themselves? Friday the 21st is the new upgrade date. The new delay was caused by shipping issues. kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread! Oh wait...

CCP kieron	Posted - 2005.10.18 21:52:00 - [7] Latest news, the shipping issue is actually a problem with Customs. The equipment is in the UK, but Customs is going over the docs and equipment very carefully. I guess solid state hardware of this nature doesn't travel around a lot. For those worrying about issues with the upgrade being pushed back through the weekend if they arrive, please put those fears to rest. The upgrade team is in London and will be there until the upgrade is complete and stable. kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread!

CCP kieron	Posted - 2005.10.19 10:46:00 - [9] The upgrade date was moved forward a bay. Customs was nice enough to let the equipment pass through and into the hands of the network team in London. The hardware upgrade will take place on Thursday, 20 October running from 0800 to 1600 GMT. Apologies for the topsy-turvy dates and scheduling. kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread! Oh wait...

CCP kieron	Posted - 2005.10.20 09:59:00 - [11] The upgrade was pushed back to start at 1100 GMT. DHL states that the equipment is, quite literally, in a car on its way to the datacenter and the eager hands of the network team. Again, I apologize for the time change and late notification. kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread! Oh wait...

CCP kieron	Posted - 2005.10.20 20:18:00 - [13] The results of the hardware upgrade are very positive, so far. Player feedback so far have the markets and bookmark response time lessened, a decrease in time for log-in, hangar and hold access, even a rumored increase in frame rate. So far, so good! kieron Director of Community Relations, EVE Online EVE Online, CCP Games Email/Netfang Look Ma, I'm in a Dev thread! Oh wait...
