<p>kicking people and cant get back in</p>

[jester0770]

<p>Ditto on 2 players in this household</p>

[travisnobert]

Yes same here. Right when i tried running into an instance so thought it was just me, not so angry now.

[Whnemesis]

<p>Permafrost the same</p>

[lils]

<p>same on mistmoore .... errr permafrost!</p>

[Kunaak]

<p>Everfrost and Oasis both have problems too.</p><p>logged into everfrost - but barely, and nothing worked - no chat channels and major lag.</p><p>oasis is just down, cant log in at all.</p>

<p>Crushbone : High</p><p>One Other Server: Medium</p><p>EVERYTHING ELSE: light</p><p>basically they merged us and now we have too many people playing and can't login because server can't handle it. Nice going there SOE</p>

[travisnobert]

Ahahaha just made a new character to see that... oh wow....

[Whnemesis]

<p>I truly hope it is not due to load on servers...</p><p>For those of us that were already online grouping/grinding/tradeskilling, being kicked out even if not zoning is a bit much.  I could understand if load was high and loaded that anyone trying to log in was not able to get on, but those already on and getting booted to character select... well let's hope it's more than load issues.</p><p>Not everyone got booted.  Half my group is still in game wondering where I went.  No mention of lag, just saw my two toons, and another person go ld.</p>

<p>Same problem here. Is there a page where we can get a clue why we have problems or downtime? Most other games have it. I know about the server status-page, but the info there is pretty much worthless.</p>

[Laiina]

<p>Oasis same way - server lag is horrible, people cannot log in, getting booted to char select time after time, etc etc.</p><p>If it is this bad now, wait til expansion day <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>CB now has 25% more 'population' than the next highest non-pvp servers, so I think it's fair to say there's a population aspect to it, even if it's not hte only problem.  Pretty crappy service to paying subscribers.</p>

[Wyrmypops]

<p>Something is awry.</p><p>Crushbone bloke here. Can't even get in. Using the EQII launched it stalls on the "updating" going nowhere. I can get to char' select on the ghastly station launcher, but char' select is as far as goes.</p><p>Seems an odd time of the day for this kinda thing.</p>

[wilson420]

<p>Yeah something is going wrong for sure. I got bumped from Oasis as well and can't get past character select while my buddy has been logging in and out frequently and getting in fine. He even logged completely out and back in and got in fine. Tired of this SOE crap. But I've learned long ago that they just flat out don't care. There will be a fake apology and no compensation... ya know, the usual. Gotta love it.</p><p>At the very least, double xp weekend should be extended a day to deal with people getting screwed all day. That probably won't happen either. Oh well, it's fun to rant so whatever. LoL.</p>

[PlaneCrazy]

<p>I remember a post a little while ago where Rothgar mentioned that several servers in a group share the same cluster of databases.  Perhaps there is some issue  (maybe introduced during the last merge or maybe just coincidence)  that is doing this.</p><p>Still sad to see once again that nobody seems to be "watching the farm" in this game when it comes to server outages.</p>

[Whnemesis]

<p><a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?start=15&topic_id=495036" target="_blank">Support</a></p><p>At least Crushbone has been noticed <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />  Hopefully the other servers will be looked at as well.</p><p>I'm able to log back into Permafrost, good luck to the rest of you.</p>

<p>I'm having the same problem. Whenever I try /camp <character name> I get kicked to the character select screen, with half my characters not showing, and when I select one I get the message "Unable to find ..." I then have to shut it all down and reboot the game. I tried the work-around posted earlier (deleting <accountname>_characters.ini file). It worked for one or two relogs then went back to kicking me out of the game.</p>
