UPDATE: Today’s Game Update, scheduled to last 1 hour, clocked in closer to 4 hours as an SOE-wide Firewall glitch caused Login servers to be inaccessible for much longer than anticipated.
We're back up and unlocked! #EQ2

All servers should be up and running! Please let us know if you encounter a problem. [Afista]

From Dave “SmokeJumper” Georgeson on twitter:
Login issues across the company. Firewall problem. Many games affected. They're fixing it now. Sorry, folks. Soon!

Original article follows after the jump…
Today’s Game Update, scheduled to last 1 hour, is creeping up on 3 hours overdue. EQ2 Community Rep Afista who just survived her first expansion launch (bless her!) posted tweeted this update 2 hours into the 1 hour downtime:
We are currently investigating login problems. We’ll continue to update players as more information becomes available. [Afista]

and from Holly:
Meh…firewall issues apparently. I’ll keep you updated! #eq2

Sorry I didn’t update you sooner…kinda tricky with my email down also. It’s like losing a lifeline! Sign of the times… :/ #EQ2

We’ve now reached 4 hours and the rage thread on the EQ2 Forums has reached 30 pages. Afista posted this:
The team is currently working to resolve some Firewall issues causing problems with the login servers. I’ll keep you updated with new information as I have it, but there is currently no ETA at this time.
from Holly:
Still waiting for an eta on this end too. They are working furiously! #EQ2
— Holly Longdale (@WindstalkerEQ2) November 12, 2014
The team is looking into Valor and Splitpaw issues atm. Stand by! #EQ2

Can you report on this if it was indeed reduced after servers go live?

fukkit, I am gong back to to ESO
The really amusing things are that no one at SoE seemed to realize there was an issue until that thread materialized. Also, I find it quite odd that the employees of the company seem to dislike their own forums so much.
Oh good I been so busy with college that I’m glad I haven’t missed much due to SoE being SoE.
Servers up!
Feldon,
off-topic, in a different post, you mentioned that Ancient spells will be added to eq2u spells page? i don’t see the ancient column in the spells list…
was that ‘in future’ or should already be visible?
Will be added. As in not yet added. 🙂
