Same on Nagafen. Both me and a buddy (at least, he's talking to me on MSN) have been kickd out of the game. upon attempting to log back in, get "Error: The operation has timed out."when I lost the connection, was zoning into Rivervale, and got "Invalid username/password" after "trying login server 1"...

Same on unrest. Think this is the old authentication server going down issue from last year.

The login servers are down. We are aware of the issue and it should be corrected shortly.

Same thing is happening in Lucan DLere. I saw unable to reach login server, and now when trying to log back into the game I am seeing "Operation timed out" when trying to authenticate username/password.

Aren't they supposed to be keeping us entertained while we wait, with stories about the opposition launching an attack right after close of business?

So hopefully it won't be long.We really appreciate your patience and understaning and know its a pain for this to happen on Friday night.

Course, I'd prefer you give us something to complain about that doesn't put me into withdrawl.......but that's just me.

LoL.. dude.. it's a game.. things happen.. I've worked in the Server world for a long time.. and if this truly is a rare thing.. than I applaud them.. Go watch tv for like 30 min while they fix this... than get back to your menial life. Guys working on the problem, keep up the good work.

And this happens about once every month or two. If the servers I support were down so often I'd be off looking for a job.

Slightly over 2 hours now, Im somewhat patient, however a small update would be nice if possible. My memory isnt what it used to be, however I recall something like this happening years ago, and the servers didnt come back up for a day or so. Id like to know if I can plan out my weekend not to include EQ2. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

My only day off for the week and the login has to be all f...'d up. Wasted my time watching the movie Valiant on youtube. Only good part was the female mouse la'girl or whatever her name was. Makes me want to log in and see some mice. Damnit soe, ruining my only day of freedom.

Today I decided after a two year or so break (last login Dec something of 2006) to come back. I paid all my dues and have been politely waiting for my 15 plus hours of downloading to be done (first install from original DVD's in a while). Needless to say I found it quite ironic that this happen tonight of all nights. I was starting to think Karma was trying to tell me something.V.
