What Gives, Server down? Then Up? Char rol back? Unable to Load?!?

[Zarador]

As the title says...I log in my 63 Mystic/58 Sage to make some spells for my 57 Wizard who leveled last night.I log out the sage, camp to my Wizard, says Server is down, then it shows as server is up.  Only 4 Chars of the 8 or so appear.Ok, this has been a bug, I try a clean load.Log back in, directly to the Char select screen, tells me servers are down, then up, only 4 chars showing, except now my Wizard is level 52?!?!!Try again, three times in a row, same deal, my Wizard is still showing as a level 52, but unable to load?My Mystic still shows as being level 63? What's going on here?I can't load in my Wizard who also shows a loss of 5 levels since last night?!?!

When the servers are down the login server often does not send the right information out regarding your characters levels etc..They are however as you left them , unless there was a rollback..but you're talking 5% maybe less if there is a rollback..best advice is wait and see when you log on after the server comes  back up.

Update:I'm ABLE to log in my 2nd account, on the same computer, with no problems.  I checked the Guild Roster, I show him as being a level 57 Wizard.When I attempt to log in the account on that computer, it now sits at the launching icon and never launches.I logged in the account on my 2nd PC and I'm able to log in the account and the Character?I deleted the Scan Cache, did a full scan, yet still can't log in the account on this computer?Any suggestions?  Is there a corrupted file related ONLY to this account, only on this computer?  If so, any ideas what file(s) need to be repaired?Like I said, I can log in my main account on this PC and load a character with no problems.  I can apparently log in the account on the 2nd PC?Edit: Of course now when I log in the second account, it hangs up zoning into Neriak.  This is getting very frustrating.  I never had these problems prior to LU 45

The sad thing is....this is only happening on the Bazaar server right now. Go to any other server and there is no issues. It took me the other day 25 minutes to zone from Qeynos Harbor to South Qeynos into someone's house. Don't tell me it on my side, because my whole guild is having the same issues. Actually, let me rephrase that..THE WHOLE SERVER. The Mystic Lake zone hasn't even been working for about 5 days down, and it only took about 100 bug reports and petitions to have a GM man up and say "Yeah, maybe there is a problem." It takes us anywhere 15-30 minutes to even get a 24 man raid to zone in half the time, as some people get booted to character select and then cannot get in, or we get stuck at "Receiving Zone Info" for about 5-7 minutes. Oh and better hope for no raid wipes as if you revive you have a 75% chance of getting stuck again.Apparently they are going zone by zone, so yes there is hope on the Horizon. Let's hope it gets fixed soon, as I only have so much of my place to clean while zoning as it is spotless now. Also, the Sokokar Post in Chardok, fix that thing. You land and are perma rooted, have to log back to character select and cross your fingers that you can get back in. I have bug reported it three times now, but LoN is top priority!!

Then I got told to check my files, do windows updates, check my firewall settings, defragment my disk and other suggestions.Since this only happened since LU45, I tend to agree it must be something on their end.  Sadly, I tried all the above anyway, wasting a good deal of time in the process.  I would have been happier had they simply stated "We got a problem somewhere, were working on fixing it".  Last night I sat through 10 minute transaction locks on the broker where you purchase the item, then sit there and wait for it.  You can't zone, even if you want to, because you have a transaction in progress.Now I can't load my account with the Wizard on this computer.  Of course I deleted all the files changed on this date, figuring since I could load my other character on that account earlier, surely it must be something on my end.Fact that I can load the account on the other PC is some comfort, but I would love to know how to fix this.

Well if its the same issue that many (all) of us on the Bazaar are having, you'll be glad to know they finally believe there is a problem on their end.  Reference the Bazaar server forums as well.Also, i believe it is important to note that Vox has supposedly been having similar issues.  It is definately something having to do with the transfer of information on station exchange (excuse me, Livegamer) enabled servers.So, Sony, do something specifically to Livegamer servers in LU45? Theres you problem.We just gotta wait it out until it gets fixed.  Its tough though, and I expect were gonna lose a lot of people to AoC.  Why in my raids you should hear the frustration, everyone talking about canceling accounts, going to AoC. I dont wanna go to AoC (and probably wont), but if all my raid buddies leave the game...well I guess I will too, if the community leaves.
