Normally, the servers are listed as locked, but for some reason they are not, both in Launchpad and on Everquest2.com. Try again around 9 AM PDT (10 MDT, 11 CDT, 12EDT).</p>

<p>Always worth checking out the Official News and Announcements forum, found at the top of the forum lists. Details of server downtime are posted there. <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=520462" target="_blank">See today's downtime announcement.</a></p>

<p>Thanks all. Found the downtime info. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>are they up are they up?!</p>

<p>NO</p>

<p>Server Status pages don't work right most of the time anyway.</p><p>The Launcher, EQ2 Players and the Server Status page. Thats 3 places and they all say right now the the servers are up. BUT, they are not.</p><p>Best way to know is roll the dice, try logging in and see what you get.</p><p>It's been that way since I can remember (7 years plus.)</p>

<p>The problem is, the Server Status information does not give an impression of the state of Login servers. I have asked for this information in the past and I'm hopeful one day we'll get it. It doesn't have to be specific servers, just an indication that US or EU Login servers are accepting connections or not.</p>
