EQ2 is pretty much unplayable right now. Not sure what they did to it, but if you have an alternative game, I’d play that. I’m sure it isn’t going to get any better over the weekend.
You could also go outside, or enjoy the weekend too!
and when the client decides that it does not recognize the user ID/password that you entered an hour and a half ago (and two alts previously) you really really have to enter it again because the server somehow forgot it? It appears that the servers are having issues again as it will no longer let me log in to a character from the char select screen. Tells me that the UID/PWD pair has been rejected – yet I entered it just a minute before at the log-in screen…..serious user validation issues here. {and major system design flaw from my point of view}.
It has been bad today, booted to character select, the entire invalid password problem, the lag. Not sure what is up but whatever they fixed with this mornings update, did not fix a single thing. Not sure what is going on but is this tied to H1NZ or whatever the zombie game is?
What I don’t understand is why all of SoE’s games are throttled through just one log on device. You just know that both EQ1 and EQ2 are at the bottom of any que.
