Greetings,
There will be an extended downtime on Wednesday, 3 February to carry out database maintenance work originally planned for last week.
We expect Tranquility to be back accepting connections by 11:45 UTC at the latest, but I will notify you if the live servers are back sooner via updates in this thread and EVE Status Twitter.
Be advised that the authentication and web services will not be available during this period.
Thank you!
11:45
Tranquility is back accepting connections. Fly safe out there, pilots!
11:31
We are doing very good on time, and all services are in green. Bringing Tranquility online in a VIP mode to perform further checks before opening the gates 
11:02
Good day, the extended maintenance has begun and our engineers are at work getting all the necessary work with our database sorted. I will let you know if we are expecting to be back online earlier than the estimated 45 minutes.
I can finally go outside and get COVID.

Literally an outbreak in my area. 5 day lockdown. ALL I HAVE IS EVE 
Oh well, if you have to do it, do it. We’ll manage as we always do.
That is very scary … The Eve part.
Move to the country… Lots to do and we have Worm Holes in the back yard LOL
Please don’t!
Literally LOL.
It’s only 40 minutes more than the normal daily downtime for God’s sake! < still laughing > Sheesh!
Double mask helps with this new mutation , I’ll take care . Thank you for your concern !
ROFL Right. The kids do not remember 1-2 hr downtime’s, praying you did not have to reinstall all over again or 1 hr lag from thousands trying to reconnect at the same time 
inb4 , 3 days DDoS attack.
I will hold my breath for the entire duration of downtime.
My life is in your hands ccp.
Does this mean we do get an actual update or the Team Talos approach is officially dead?
Didn’t extended downtime used to mean we were lucky if it was back online on the same day?
Ahhhh, those were the days, those 5 - 7 hour downtimes that turned into 2 - 3 days. At least back then they would give a little bit of compensation for the length of the downtime.
