ARMAGEDDON DAY!

"During the extended downtime on Tuesday 16th October we will be opening the test server, Singularity, for a good old-fashioned Armageddon day!

• CONCORD will be locked inside the nearest space donut store, and all solar systems will be set to 0.0 security status.
• All pilots will have super characters (yes, that’s right, the 480 million skillpoint ones).
• The market will be fully seeded with ships, modules and ammo.
• “Free for all” rules will apply across the galaxy. Or no rules at all. Whichever you prefer.
• 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 won’t 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.

Hehulk · Post by **Hehulk** » October 16th, 2007, 10:01

Armageddon day has been extended to 24 hours.

EDIT: They're not seeding titans, moms or faction/officer/deadspace. Or they wern't as of 12:45 am this morning

Does that mean TQ will be down for a further 24hrs too?

Hehulk · Post by **Hehulk** » October 16th, 2007, 10:18

TQ is still listed as being down for the stated 6 hours

Knight · Post by **Knight** » October 16th, 2007, 10:54

Hulky is correct - TQ is still only going to be down for the stated 6 hours, but the Test Server Armageddon day has been expanded to 24hrs.

YARR!

Its still going to be lag central, but in the less popular systems it should be ok....

Hehulk · Post by **Hehulk** » October 16th, 2007, 10:59

Fuck the less popular systems, I'm gona go camp rens for a bit.

Also, I'm in, en route to rens now.

EDIT: Scrub that, server crashed

SECOND EDIT: Server is rebooting, they're going to throttle log-ins.

THIRD EDIT: They didn't throttle enough, server is down again

I just re-activated my account yesterday so I doubt it'll be active on sisi but this sounds fun, looks like its down again anyway.

Hehulk · Post by **Hehulk** » October 16th, 2007, 13:25
