EVE Daily downtime

Daily downtime

As a result of CCP's attempt to create one large server for everyone to play on, the EVE server requires a certain amount of periodic maintenance. As a result, there is an official daily downtime from 11:00 to 12:00 GMT every day (though it may at times be shorter).
Training continues during downtime. Agent missions do as well, so before accepting one, ensure you leave room for an hour-long break at noon GMT.
Please note that agent mission complexes marked as completed, wrecks, containers and other perishables in space despawn and disappear from space during downtime. Mission complexes despawned do not respawn after the downtime is over. Make sure you have claimed all necessary items for your agent mission before downtime hits.

Extended downtimes are used in order to either hotfix the server, fix other software or hardware issues that may have presented itself after previous downtimes or to deploy patches or updates for the game.
