What?
It actually didn’t log out folks who were in-game at the time. Unfortunately, if you crashed (like I did), you can’t get back in, sadly.
eq2wire you are the best. wow, i thought i had something way bad happening here. nearly went nuts trying to find info on the web relating to this down time. why the heck didn’t they have the warning bell like normal. it just up and quit. weird and inconsistant oh well love the game so lets hope nobody else had a fright see you all on everfrost server!
three downtimes in a week? Granted one was for a game update, and then the inevitable one to fix the things they broke with the game update, but why they third? 8 hours on top of that. Either they really screwed something up or this is part of SoE’s new elaborate scheme to drive away more customers.
and now down again for a patch…
I sure hope they fix the chat and login issues that have been rampant for weeks. It’s downright ridiculous now. Makes you wonder if anyone’s actually making an effort to make sure the basics work…
Raid last night was a joke – bidding DKP on loot takes extra long with lag and verbal checks, and then the entire raid got dumped to desktop zoning into Underdepths. Not to mention the sporadic crashes of individuals every 15 minutes. Let’s hope they are fixing these basic issues.
Maybe some of you would interest this post from our blog. Watch the video, it is in english. Seems that SOE and ProSiebenSat.1 Games startet the DCUO migration today.
