International and EQ2X Battlegrounds temporarily unavailable

[Piestro]

<p>In applying Game Update 60 we have found an issue with Battlegrounds affecting our International and EQ2X players. Battlegrounds have been temporarily disabled for these players as we address this issue, and we will let you know when we have it resolved.</p> <p>Thanks,</p><p>Piestro</p>

[Peak]

<p>Oh no!</p>

Simple fix: disable international BG (noone plays on them anyway) and allow everyone from international servers to play on the normal English BG (or in other words: enable BG on international players).

That's great for all people on non-english servers <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>So.. any update on when BGs will be restored?</p>

[bigzz]

<p>So since eq2x players can't access BGs, are we going to get some sort of "make good plan" since everyone else will have gear before anyone on our server?</p>

[Peak]

<p>Uh, BGs were unavailable for everyone.</p>

[bigzz]

<p>it says international and eq2x BGs...</p>

[feldon30]

All BGs were taken down due to an issue with the BG Lobby. They just came back up 1 hour ago. No word on EU/EQ2XZ.

[Peak]

<p>No. Stop being foolish.</p>

[bigzz]

<p>How is that even close to being foolish? All "live" servers are BGing non stop if they wish so they will have a ton of tokens before anyone on extended will even have a chance for tokens. How does it not make sense to compensate us for not being able to BG at the same time as "live"?</p>

[Peak]

<p>Why should you be compensated?</p><p>They could leave battlegrounds down forever if they felt like it.You wouldn't deserve any compensation even then.</p>

[bigzz]

<p>SoE has released a new BG system, but due to technical difficulties only certain servers can access BGs. So the people who can access BGs farm them like crazy and buy as much armor as possible. The people who are SoL just sit around and wait for it to be fixed. Ok now it's fixed, but sorry extended you guys are going to get rolled by the people who have been farming BGs for the last 2 days and are half geared already.</p><p>Come on now, that isn't very fair</p>

[Nikhelkrom]

<p>hello,</p><p>Battlegrounds are still down on Storm server (Eu live) our char are still getting stuck when we try to zone in Champion's respite.</p>

It doesn't, unless I missed some update that allowed you to BG with normal subscribers.</p><p>It doesn't matter if they get all the gear in the world since you'll never be fighting them.</p>

[Peak]

<p>No one is going to have a full set of gear or even close to it.</p><p>You have no reason to complain. People who have been doing them for hours still aren't close to having 10k faction even, let alone 40k or 50k.</p><p>You're making a big deal out of nothing.</p>

[bigzz]

<p>No, your the one making a big deal of nothing. I simply made a request that had nothing to do with you yet you decided to troll my post for no reason as all.</p>

[Nikhelkrom]

<p>I think you are both trolling the original post that is BGs are down on international server.. the question is When will they come up soon?? XD what kind of problem did they found ?? ETA etc..</p>

[Nakash]

<p>I wonder if international (language localized) servers will be able to take part on the us battlegrounds or will be still doomed to one server solution with not enough players to start...</p>

<p>What Azzaroth wrote and</p><p>NonUS characters get stuck in limbo when trying to zone to the lobby</p>

[Whilhelmina]

<p>Could there be a way for non-english servers to log in English Champion's respite from Desktop if the problem for us joining US BG was truly the impossibility of switching language while changing server?</p>
