It's not my fault, apparently.

<p>Been fine up until now, just tried launching the game and am getting this:</p><p><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><h1>It's not your fault!</h1><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">It appears that we are having internal server issues or other problems that are preventing the LaunchPad from loading at this time.

<p>Same here.....so I guess we hurry up and wait</p>

[Kuulei]

<p>Getting this same issue.  I was playing fine and accidently closed the window while playing (senility strikes again) and now I get this error message</p>

[Bru2talia]

<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; color: #800080; font-size: medium;">Me Too!!! Hope to be playing again soon!!</span></p>

[Addar]

<p>I'm having the same error message. I tried reinstalling the launcher but I got the same error as soon as the launcher was done reinstalling.</p>

[Whyllo]

<p>Same error here.</p>

[Mysstie]

Same as the rest. The server's barfing out errors.

[Ratman12345]

<p>Yup put me on the boat with the rest, getting the same thing.</p>

[Bhagpuss]

<p>Working again now. Just got in.</p>

[Tallisman]

<p>This new Launchpad doesn't appear to be as good as it's cracked up to be. Loads of people reporting all sorts of issues <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/c30b4198e0907b23b8246bdd52aa1c3c.gif" border="0" /></p><p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">EDIT: Yes, it's back... phew</span></p><p>EDIT 2: Take it back, got to the logon this time but it nom'd itself again.</p>

[Kuulei]

<p>Seems to be working again.. for the moment <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/385970365b8ed7503b4294502a458efa.gif" border="0" /></p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>This wasn't a LaunchPad error in the normal sense.  We are doing maintenance behind the scenes, with non-LP related systems, that may cause very brief interruptions.  You'll see this when its literally not your fault that you can't connect! <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p>

[Indabuff]

<p>well my brief interuption is going on 20 min now</p>

[Tallisman]

<p>Can we bypass the LP in any way? If the game is running, we just need to find an .exe that dispenses with the LP <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Still happening to me here. I haven't been able to start the patching process yet, doesn't get that far. Will just keep trying every so often.</p>

<p>We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience, everyone. We will let you know when it's back up and working again! <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=511592">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=511592</a></p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>You can bypass the LaunchPad in the meantime (as long as you are already patched today!) by running the Everquest2.exe file directly, as opposed to the LaunchPad.exe</p>

[Isulith]

<p>Alright, it should be working again, please let us know if you have any further issues with it!</p>

[Tallisman]

<p>Looking good to me - been in and played so I'm happy <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Spinkle]

<p>Still having this issue today. I've changed nothing with my computer so I don't know why it would happen in the first place since it ran fine since it was updated last week.</p><p>3 hours later and still can't get on :/ Brief interruptions, my butt lol</p>

[Spinkle]

<p>Thanks for getting back to me about this, but I'm not entirely sure what that means. Am I just missing the sweet spots as far as time goes when to log in? I've been trying periodlically throughout the day.</p>

[Tallisman]

<p>Giving this a bump as it's not my fault again.</p>

[Aya Lin]

<p>Its not my fault either and I can't bypass the launcher as the game appears to have been udpated.</p><p>Edit - all happy and good now.  </p>

[TSR-JoshuaM]

<p>These errors are caused for many different, internal reasons, so the best bet is to give it a few and try again.</p>
