During the extended downtime on Tuesday 16th October we will be opening the test server, Singularity, for a good old-fashioned Armageddon day!
ò CONCORD will be locked inside the nearest space donut store, and all solar systems will be set to 0.0 security status. ò All pilots will have super characters (yes, thatÆs right, the 480 million skillpoint ones). ò The market will be fully seeded with ships, modules and ammo. ò ôFree for allö rules will apply across the galaxy. Or no rules at all. Whichever you prefer. ò There will be explosions. Lots of explosions.
Singularity will be opened around GMT1000 and will stay open until the Tranquility cluster comes back online. You wonÆt need to patch up to a test version, as all of this will be run using the current TQ client.
Why the big event? We are looking into some issues that have been occurring with our proxy servers, so we would very much appreciate as many players to participate as possible.

That, or you could extend it for the rest of the day? Pls? 24 hour Armageddon?
i would like to leave it running til about 8-9pm GMT, but it's not my server and i can't decide. we also need to focus on the new expansion but i will speak to the others.

Originally by: CCP Sharkbait i will speak with the head of QA tomorrow morning and see if he is willing to leave it on the server for 24 hours. but as i said we are very busy and it might not be possible.
Surely you aren't that busy, as you scheduled Armageddon, which means all ISD / CCP turn up in Titans and blow the **** out of jita
yes we are that busy and we are doing this to try and help solve an issue on TQ. if this proves successful, then i might do it again for other stress tests.

we might need to reboot a few times during the day, but were hoping not to need to
