    eve online: apocrypha extended downtime
    reported by CCP Wrangler | 2009.03.08 17:19:41 | NEW

    Deployment of the free expansion, EVE Online: Apocrypha will begin at 03:00 GMT on 10 March. We anticipate the extended downtime for the deployment may take up to 13 hours and we expect to be back up at 16:00 GMT. We recommend starship pilots prepare for the unveiling of that which is hidden by setting a long-training skill. During this time Tranquility will be offline, our forums and news section, the EVE API and Secure (login for EVElopedia, Account Management etc) will be taken down at about 02:30 GMT. Secure will return at 05:30 GMT and the news section and the forums will be partially up at 09:30 GMT to provide players with a feedback channel. The EVE API will remain down until downtime 11 March. We will activate a back-up news system to provide updates during the time our news section is down.


    Alright now we all know what to expect, they say 13 hours, but always be safe and set at least a 2 day skill! They are getting better at their patch days but i'm still setting a few longer skills. Be fruitful and merry as you'll be without your eve addiction! :D

    I'm just getting to download it now, seems to be "staged patching" essentially to stop file corruption or whatever. Going to have a few cups of tea before this finishes.

    Yes ive been in many holes. There great. Making soem serious isk out of them :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭Mantel


    Looks pretty good so far but not for the sleepers or the wormholes themselves but for the comedy and lack of local! :D

    I went exploring one thinking I'd be alone in the system, of the four sleeper outposts I found three of them had people in them killing sleepers which was surprising to me. If your inclined to gank then you can just wait for someone to engage the sleepers, let them kill a few and then warp in and take them out. The comedy part is people jumping through and not bookmarking the wormhole :) and not having a probe launcher. The eve-o forums are seeing "Lost in space" threads popping up as people go through without probes or all the fleet goes through, the WH collaspses and the ship with the probes is stuck on the other side :)

    The only way out then is scanning down the wormhole again or podding yourself. There may be a few ships sitting in w-space now waiting for a new owner :D

    So far it seems there are several classes of system that you can find which relate to difficulty of the sleepers and what roids you find in grav sites and look like they correspond to how deep you are in sleeper space.

    Assides from T3 components it looks like it will become good side conent with surprise fleets turning up in peoples homesystems and probe launchers becoming standard on most poeples WH fits :)

    lol, nice. I was thinking of just probing out wormholes, going through and selling the bm for them in local as a "rescue" service fee. A few combat probes to search for abandoned ships aswell. At least I have a better chance of finding someone who wants to get out then they do of finding someone to get them out :)
