Here We Go Again — EQ2 Update Runs 4 Hours Long — All Servers Up
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
— Holly Longdale (@WindstalkerEQ2) November 12, 2014
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?

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.

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?
