Website downtime on Thursday, December 29 (http://www.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=4850&tid=1)
29 December 2011, 10:22 am
During downtime today, December 29, we will perform some database maintenance on Tranquility. All websites including the EVE forums, account management, EVE Gate and the API be unavailable from 11:00 to 11:30 UTC as a result. As we have done this multiple times in the past, we do not expect an extended downtime.
