Feldon EU Servers have actually been up for some time now, BUT nobody can get patched because the software on the EU Patch servers (3 different servers in 3 different languages) is not up-to-date. It is unclear why this download didn’t start earlier.
The current estimate is that folks in the EU will be able to play roundabout 12:30AM GMT.
More as we have it.
As with every expansion, EU servers are more of an afterthought for SOE. I’ve stocked up on some movies to watch until the server will be up. Stilla few hours to go :S Yes, lessons learned from all other expansions…
EU Patchers are working now, at lease the german ones. There seems to be a problem with the Station Launcher. Just use the old patcher to be sure it works (EQ2.exe in the game directory).
