How Long Til SOE is Back in Action?
First, some comments from SOE President John Smedley:
It’s been a rough day. We hope to be up soon, but we aren’t ready to announce just yet.
It can’t get any worse than today! I’m sorry the service is down. I really am.
Regarding if the forums will be down for tonight:
Unfortunately yes. I wish they were because we can’t really communicate with our players right now in a good way except on Facebook. It’s frustrating. But the account system is linked to the forums.
and when EQ2 ZAM contacted him:
We shot off a quick e-mail to John “Smed” Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment, asking if the servers would be back up tonight. He quickly replied with, “They won’t be up tonight unfortunately.”
If the PlayStation Network situation (13 days and still down) is any indication, it could be days before SOE games are back online.

Someone needs to start selling squares – 15 minute blocks of time. Closest one gets the pot.

@Feldon: “If the PlayStation Network situation is any indication…” then we aren’t talking mere days. Sony already announced that they expect PSN services to be only partially restored by the end of May.

If it takes weeks to get SOE running again, it may not even matter, it will burn a majority of the player base.

No, but you can cancel over the phone . . . or you can tell your credit card company to deny future payments. Or, when you have to tell your credit card company(ies) to re-issue you a new card(s) (because your cards MAY be compromised) since we can’t log on update our credit info, they’ll cancel our accounts for us . . .

EQ2 has a big enough player-base to basically survive this if it’s back up within a month. DCUO on the other hand does not.
