Being a US player that has only been around for ~55 days, after I read this post yesterday (07/26) at ~17:00 EVE time, I decided to check out Oceania to see what it was all about before it disappeared. I was thinking that if it really was as desolated as people said it was, then maybe I could use that to my advantage and stroll around the maps learning any intricacies for later play.

I logged into Dust and set my server option to Oceania at ~04:00 EVE time and played until 07:00 EVE time on the 27th. This works out to be 23:00 on 07/26 to 02:00 on 07/27 CST (my time zone). I went to bed afterwards and got back up and logged into Dust 5 1/2 hours later.

At ~12:30 EVE time, which is 07:30 my time and past the 11:00 to 11:30 daily downtime, I was going to move my server option back to automatic when I noticed that Oceania is no longer listed as an option!

What?!?!?! It's NOT the 28th yet!!! Just look when I posted this! Please explain or else I'll continue to yell...

SHENANIGANS, I tells you!!! SHENANIGANS!!!

SHENANIGANS!!! Twisted

But it is a shame to lose Oceania. We did not ALL use this server for farming and score manipulation. It was a great location for individual player training, and when I found out about Oceania, it helped give me a board where I could operate my vehicle more freely, perfect mavigation tricks, and build the confidence in my skills ("Confidence" is one thing each player REALLY needs in this game, to keep from feeling he/she is being beaten up humiliatingly by Dust 514---and it's so hard to get enough breathing room on these maps to build your confidence!--a lot of you Newberrys and Vets know what I mean with this game). Highly-regarded groups like Learning Coalition used to conduct some of their session in Oceania too, if I'm not mistaken. What happens to them now? ...Oceania will be missed.

Hey, at least you got to try a brief taste of, what so many other players will no longer have access to. ....tears, it was a NICE place to play. A nice place. You had a brief privilage...

Castba, I had no idea this was the history of Oceania's Server. It IS funny how many examples you can find in the Forum where well-intentioned, "Greeeat Idea!" suggestions with tidal wave aggreement in the population..... um, err, leave us chewing our own dirt with regret...

IT's intentional! No "l". I needed a name that says I was willing to be serious and respectful to EVE folklore/ characters idea (I was new, and so many players seems SO serious about their characters in this game). I didn't want any name too "earthly" or "galactic", but sometimes when I get drunk, my name still sounds too much like a French Asteroid. Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
