<p>Well, given that it's 9:30 AM eastern time on a Tuesday... which means 6:30 AM Pacific time...</p><p>They are likely doing the weekly hotfix. Try again in ~30 mins. (IE after 10 AM eastern / 7 am pacific).</p>

<p>eq2players network status page says all servers are up, but neither my husband nor i can log in to befallen.  is the network status premature or is the connection server not quite up yet?  both ours runs through connection servers up to number 9 twice before we get the cannot connect servers may be busy message.  been trying for 20 mins now.</p><p>edited to add-- issue resolved</p>

<p>Greetings,</p><p>Yes, it appears there was a hotfix this morning that required a brief server downtime.  It should be finished at this point so let me know if you are still experiencing an issue.</p>
