Concerning Wed's Emergency Patch Deployment

[Cat Molina]

An emergency patch will be deployed on Wednesday, 25 July during the normally scheduled maintenance period. This patch will resolve issues resulting from the deployment of the Revelations 2.1 patch deployment which was originally supposed to fix the previous patch, which, as we all remember, was only a hot-fix attempt to solve the problems introduced by the Revelations I patch which tended to cause our servers to go poof at the drop of a hat... any hat.

We urge all players to set long skills (a 40-60 day skill should be fine) as we work to resolve these problems, but fear that this patch will only fix one or two of the current problems while introducing 10-20 new problems for you to wade through on the fateful day when the servers actually come back up.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this 'emergency patch of the emergency patch of the planned patch which was to correct the former emergency patch to the Revelations 1.0 patch' deployment.

Please keep paying us... probability states that, at some point, we're bound to set things straight.

You must not have played many online games as complex as Eve. It's amazing things work as well as they do and that problems get fixed as quickly as they do.

[Cat Molina]

Oh come on! I'm just having some fun.

[Zillaby Trypp]

Yeah, even if CCP does a good job (I remain completely secular to the whole "opinions of CCP"), you can not help to take that kind of crack at the idea that an emergency patch is needed the day after a patch.

I'm sorry, I thought that was funny. I am still chuckling.. keep em coming Cat!

[Captain Loco]

I thought it was funny too.

And I do have to say that since Revelations, EVE has been much buggier than the other MMOs I still have active accounts for.

I'm sure CCP will work through it, and I'm continually impressed with the amount of new content the developers regularly shovel into this game.

[Kalmanaka]

It's been buggier because they've been making major changes to the code base and client since Eve is so old.
