After today’s successful database upgrades to Tranquility, we would like to announce a second extended downtime on Monday, February 29th 2016 in order to perform significant hardware and database configuration changes to the Tranquility cluster.

This downtime will involve a lot more complex work on the underpinnings that power New Eden, and as such we’d like to take the cluster down for a significant amount of time, totalling five hours of downtime.

With this in mind, daily downtime on Monday February 29th will be moved forward to 09:00 UTC and will form the start of an extended maintenance downtime that will run for five hours from 09:00 UTC through until 14:00 UTC.

We expect that Tranquility will be back online, available, and accepting connections at 14:00 UTC.

Apologies in advance for any issues caused by this extended downtime.
