so with this last min extended downtime and the fact is was set for 24hr down time as stated in letter and on live feeds and the compensation packages where set for that time frame does this mean double compensation package ?

It's not surreptitious when the time was extended in the Evolution FAQ thread - that's pretty overt. I always try to post within the thread (to tag the Dev Tracker) as well as updating the FAQ itself here on the forums.
Saturday is actually the 20th, and I do not yet have a time for the land rush. As soon as it is available, I will again post to the Evo FAQ thread and edit the OP there. It should be today some time!

And as luck would have it, land rush times have just been set:
LAND RUSH TIMES
EU servers: Saturday, October 20th at 07:00 PDT(14:00 UTC)
NA servers: Saturday, October 20th at 12:00 PDT (noon) (19:00 UTC)
(barring unforseen circumstances, of course)
There will be no additional compensation for the length of the downtime.
The packages offer pretty substantial value.

Thank you Brasse for checking the forums and responding - I know sometimes it must be kinda hard to read these with all of the criticism. It shows that people care about the game at least. I am looking forward to the Evolution and the new surprises the game has to offer, although I admit I am not happy about having to find a plot or two to settle. I am glad that at least it was disclosed that another evolution would most likely take place in a year. I have been through every evolution so far and am still playing almost every day. It really isn't that bad and certainly not the end of the world.
While it may not be the end of the world, sadly for some it may be the end of the game for them;
I know quite alot of people who have worked their back sides off to get land where they want it, have moved to specific servers to get away from 'pvp' and just have a nice enjoyable game..... kinda ♥♥♥♥ty for them especially since they will have to work their ♥♥♥♥♥ off again or swipe that platinum credit card eh'?

Hey Caveman, I have gone through Server Evos as well, and I don't actually get to take part in the land rushes (too busy working at the time), but I just go and make in-game currency and buy some plots over time. It's led me to set homes in new places that I've quite liked. I guess it's all what you make of the experience. A friend of mine back in the SWG days said "it's all about the journey, not arriving at the end," and I tend to follow that philosophy.
I use my totally not platinum card for subscriptions/patrons in most MMOs I play, with the occasional cosmetic purchase.
There are those driven hard to lead the pack and get wherever it is in life first, and for them it's harder for sure, but we all move with our possessions in AA evolutions, so it's far from starting over from scratch.
Erenor is still our home, in spite of the occasional earthquake.

Will there be an official thread for the server stories? My friends informed me there was going to be a writing activity regarding server histories and experiences, during this down time would be the best time to get writers writing!
