Character problem

Moop607 · 02-27-2008, 02:12 PM

Pretty much when I'm trying to log into my characters it loads into the game slower then normal then when I finally log in I can't interact with any npcs talk in chat or anything and after about 5 minutes the screen goes black and it says its trying "log in server #whatever" I created a new character to see if the one I was using was bugged or something everything seemed to be working well until about an hour in the same thing happend to that character. I've reinstalled the game that doesn't seem to fix it either if anyone knows what I could do that would be great.

At work atm, but is it possible the servers are down or are being brought down for a maintenance cycle?

I don't know about that but I've been looking around a bit and I'm not the only one with the problem. I figure if the servers are down I shouldn't even be able to load into the game

True, but different mechanics can be run on different servers, seperate servers to handle logins, seperate servers for different zones, npc servers, chat servers, broker servers, etc etc... but yea, the only downtime scheduled for today appears to be for UK only... but it was actually yesterday for US players... something sounds amiss.
