Tranquility will undergo an extended downtime on Wednesday, 12 March. The start time is 0200 GMT and the length of the downtime is expected to be fourteen hours. During this time the "Boost" patch will be applied to Trinity consisting of fixes and improvements.

Patch Notes has been added. Updates to the notes may be added as more items are cleared through the Quality Assurance process. These updates will be highlighted with green text. Please keep all patch discussion in this forum thread.

Please note: Training a long learning duration skill ending after the scheduled return to service is recommended.

Update: Ok, what has happened is that we've taken down the patch notes. We will go over every single note, make sure it is coming in Trinity 1.1 and then we'll put it all back up again. Unfortunately that means we might not be able to get the list up until tomorrow, Monday.

Please note that the patch has been postponed one day and will be applied on Wednesday, not Tuesday!

Thanks.. yea I know but that answer didn't make sense.

I hardly think they prep'ed the OP (5 lines of txt) beforehand.. and then publish when ready.. really?

Since 'forever' I have used the forum index page to see if new topics are posted, and since they brought out the information portal I used the index page to see if there is anything of interest. Since the new year it's been hit and miss, and erratic, from my point of view anyway.

I was just curious.

Looking forward to the patch notes, and to a lesser extent patch day

Basically, if a thread is posted in a forum it will show up as the most recent post in that forum. If we post it in another forum and then move it, the thread will not show up. The reason for this is that it was the way the forums were programmed to work.

So, we have our own secret forum you can't see. For convenience, we post the thread there at first. That way we can prepare the pot in advance and tweak it and everything. This is great if I for example want Saint or Navigator or someone else to make a post, but I need it to become public when they're not there.

Either way, this is how it works and that is why we do things this way. I don't know if that makes sense to you but it does to me.

Thats it? This is the legendary boost patch we waited 3 months for? A boost to couple amarr ships and a couple caldari?

The original schedule called for a release in early Feb but there were issues in the localisation process that we had to sort out and then there was the the Alliance Tournament in early Mar. So 11 Mar it is. We used the extra time well for additional bug fixes.

Underneath the hood in EVE Online: Trinity 1.1 are massive database changes that will allow for more rapid and frequent delivery of new content in the future, such as new missions. Therefore we are doing an off-line backup of the database, like we do when deploying expansions, and that explains the start time.
